What kind of delivery times are you being promised in the UK?

I ordered mine on the 25/01/2012.
Car arrived at the dealers on 07/06/2012.
Pickup date is 13/06/2012.

So that’s 20 weeks (140 days).

I think they said 16-20 weeks when I ordered it, so that pretty spot on.

I ordered my Gti early May and was quoted 12-15 weeks.
Recently said it will be built week 25 so around 6 weeks

i can understand why people want to order a new car 100% to their own spec but...

all of my local VW dealerships have at least 1 ed35 in the showroom/in stock.

you could probably get a deal on these without the tedious wait.


they're always good specs too when they get them in as showroom cars.

i didn't wait for mine got £1500 of the price and 3 years free servicing and a few bits and pieces. theres no way i would have bought a gti if i had to wait for it but luckily the car i bought was pretty much as i would have spec'd it so it as worth getting for me.

Side note lol, mkviken your spec list is filling up very nicely..

[mkviken]

  yeah but thats it for now. just wish whoever spec'd the car ticked the bluetooth box

  I feel a retrofit coming on, but with the hassle others have had, is it really worth it?

i thought about it but can't bring myself too start pulling the headlining etc apart. I'm uber paranoid about squeaks and rattles as it is so don't want to mess around with interior trim 

the main reason i wanted it was so my steering wheel no longer has buttons that don't work!
