This is all very weird!! as I have posted before I ordered my car on 23rd May and last week was told it is shipping now, actually today!! my spec is 5 door deep pearl black
                                                              18" monza shadow
                                                              sunroof
                                                              xenons
                                                              winter pack
                                                              acc
                                                              rcd510 + dynaudio
so in that aspect it is very similar to other people on the forum who have ordered early May and have been told September.  Are you guys sure your stealers put in the orders on the dates they said?

this is the irritating thing, i have spoken to my dealer and he still says build week 35/36 (i think) - either way he says its due 30 september and i ordered 4th may.  i'm getting quite wound up really as all you chaps seem to have ordered in may and are now getting your cars whereas mine hasn't even been started yet!!  don't really know what else to do bar asking my dealer who looked on the system and said its still due end of sep?!  and my spec is same as yours but without sunroof!!

The dealers pre ordered and then changed the spec once people had brought them,car launch was 22nd may so if they placed there orders in march/april then they are going to arrive early.

Yup, thats what happened to me. I ordered on 9 June and my future car is already here. When I looked at the car papers, it was ordered in February 2009.

I went to place an order for one last week in June (with a tentative delivery date of 20th November), however a week later I discover that the dealer would not take the deposit off me because he says that VW will not accept the order. He says I'll be lucky to see one this side of Christmas (I think he means Christmas 2009!).

What??!!  Find another dealer!

The first dealer I went to (on 4th July) said "three months, regardless of what specs you order."  I placed my actual order with a different dealer (better discount) on 8th July, and he said "maybe September".

The second dealer also called up ready-built cars on his screen and offered me a choice of about half a dozen that I could have almost immediately, though I didn't bite on that one because he didn't have one with the specs I was looking for.

If your dealer can't sell you a car, there are plenty who will.

I just placed my order today, will post more about it later, but basically I was told it would be 99.99% certain that it will be late sept/ early oct.
