What is the Longest Time To Wait for Car To Be Built?

[Brenbo]

These long wait times will certainly make you want to keep hold of your car for much longer once you get it.  It will not affect whether I continue waiting for my order or not.  But if I do not get a build week confirmation by the month i am supposed to receive the car I will kick up a stink and see what I can get out of my dealer to soften the extended wait.  I doubt I will get anything but it is worth a try

Ordered my 2nd Golf R September 2014 took delivery end of March 2015 - a seven month wait - very much a winter of discontent for that one

this is what I am expecting with mine.  It can see it being longer than six months.

I'm only 2 months into the wait and its killing me, reckon I still have 6-7 weeks to wait

I feel your pain, when i had my GTI PP I was told to wait 3 months for delivery then it got extended to 6 months that was really agonising.  I am trying to be more laid back about it this time.  I look on it as the later the date the more extras it may have as standard and longer I have to save up for my next car after that...   I know, you should always plan for the future.

Think of the ugly focus rs orders now, probably a 12 month wait and then an all new focus st already doing the rounds 

[Brenbo]

At least if we do have a long wait, it is something worth waiting for

Didn't Monkey Hanger wait about a decade for his R?

Ordered Sat 27th Sept 2014, picked up 28th May 2015 - Those Prets had a lot to answer for.

I ordered mine on 1st April and collected it today (4th June) mine is just a standard 5 door GTI with the panoramic sunroof and 90% tints as options. Pleasantly surprised at the relatively short wait. The car is an absolute dream to drive and would have happily waited twice as long!

My predicted build week is 08/08/16.  So I could be looking at mid to late September for delivery all going well.  This would be about 6 months.  Will keep you posted if this becomes a reality.
