If i order today

[squirrelGTi]

It's a sad day, my R32 has gone 

Went to see the dealer yesterday to talk about MK6 GTi delivery times. He said if i ordered before the end of this month, then i'll get it before the end of Feb and benefit from the 2.5% vat increase waiver from vw. As long as the car is registered before end of Feb.

I see that there's a few people here who have already ordered and talking about March delivery?

I asked him, what if i ordered before end of November and didn't receive it until March. He said i'd still get the 2.5% vat discount because it would have been held up at the vw factory. All seems to make sense, but he's pretty sure that it'll be here in 12 weeks.

Does this seem right with you guys?

Cheers

I've been told that if I order now, delivery date will be feb - I would rather say march on the new plate even if got to pay another £500 ish - I assume the difference in selling price when you come to sell it between feb '10  '59' plate car and mar '10 new plate will be the £500

I'd get that in writing from the sales person on VW letter headed paper and co-signed by the sales manager.

Put it this way - my car was ordered August 25th and the latest delivery date I have is December 18th. I am assuming this will slip to January as I just don't believe A WORD the dealers say. They want your money, not your loyalty

looking at the list of people i made who ordered in August link and others who have ordered in later months if i was you i would get that writen on lettered paper and signed by the salesman, sales manager and garage manager. Also write down a clause of it does not happen.

Thanks guys for your help.

I'll be speaking to VW on Friday and then going up there on sat morning.

I'm not convinced that it'll be here before end of Feb, considering some of you have waited well over 12 weeks for delivery!

I orderded my GTi on 11th November been told it will be ready for pick up either the 3rd or 8th March.

However unless the factory have got a plan to really ramp up production, I can't see that, as look at the August orders.......

So will you be eligible for the 2.5% vat discount?

All I can say to you is: I ordered my GTI on 29 August and the latest the dealer has given me is a provisional build of week 1, 2010. [Started at week 46 and has gradually moved back] That means even if it is built that week I wont get it until end of Jan or early Feb, a total of at least 5 months from ordering. 
If he can get you one in three months he's a miracle worker. [might depend on what spec you want]
