are there any dealers out there offering any discounts for the GTI??

Hmmm, maybe now is normal?

agree Rolfe, was in Europe last week, terribly bad rates now!!

[Rolfe]

Did they tell you how long it would take?  They told me, and the car showed up right on cue.  I'd be interested to see how much that's changed with all the shenanigans that have been going on over build weeks, since then.

They said they would probably be able to get me a factory order quicker if i had wanted but i was wanting to wait till the March plate. So just waiting & waiting & waiting. I've never been very patient

Do you have a build week yet?

[HA54SYM`]

No, how do you get to know one?

I'm guessing it will be later into March, going on peoples order process from here that orderded some 3 months before me!

From the last time i ordered a new car, they can give you a provisional build week when it gets placed on the system, however with the GTI it seems to be changing as all the dealers are struggling with allocations etc. I think the dealers check on a Tuesday every week.

Then nearer the time you get a confirmed build week, it then gets built, shipped etc.

Maybe someone on here will know a bit more about it??

I think that, under normal circumstances, you'd get a confirmed build week within the first month after your order.

If, however, normal service hasn't yet resumed then you won't and nobody will tell you anything about it until about a week before they're ready to build your car! 

Would imagine that there are a fair few cancelled orders that can be reallocated to new customers.  If you have to go to the back of the queue though I think my dealer's still quoting 16 weeks.

I think that would be about right. I ordered mine at the end of oct, the 28th there or abouts. Dealer was fairly confident of getting it before the end of Feb 10. But as you say, it's not mormal times....

You normally get an unconfirmed build week allocation after about 3 weeks. This is sort of the time you can change your spec in. Then 4to5 weeks before the build week time your order gets confirmed status.
