just had a chat with VW HO, am being told wk14, in my hands 2nd week April.
Not comfirmed though.....I dont think I could do this again,,,,,,,,

ordered 29th August !!!!!!

That's blo0dy outrageous mate!  Dealer allocation troubles?  Did your dealer actually order it on the VW system on the 29th Aug?

I thought that I was going to be longest August waiter, but it seems that you mightve just clinched it by a couple of weeks.

That's actually a very good question, and one I'd be asking and one I'd be requesting proof of.

Think I'm up there with longest August waiter guys. I ordered the GTI on the 18th of August and the dealer put the order through on the 25th of August. Been given a pick up date of the 3rd of March. I request that everyone crosses there fingers in the hope this date sticks....... The bloody car better be worth the wait.


3 Door Carbon Gey, 18" Monza Shadows, RNS 510 with Dynaudio, Leather and Xenons. Waiting since August 18th....... Took delivery on the 9th of March. Yippee

Judging by Snoops table on the first page of this thread, theres still 9 of us waiting since August!

Its shocking, and I dont think i'll be ordering a new car from VW again.

You would have to think that during a worldwide recession that it would hit everyone differently with the economy on a downturn not everything is running as it should do. Arguably VW didnt feel the pinch as much as most, but I still believe that this didnt help matters.

Just called my dealer to give him my complimentary insurance details.

My cars been built!!!  Its status is at "awaiting VIN number" on Dialog.

 :cool: :grin: :laugh: :shocked:

FYI - the complimentary insurance from VW, its changed to Allianz Insurance, and the number to call is 0800 316 7892.

Just got quoted from Directline to amend my policy (that I still had from my Mk4) - They quoted £610 with 4 years no claims!  I told them to poke it.  Swiftcover (via Gocompare) quoted £369!

Congrats on getting your car being built.

Until they change that bastard advert with that fat twit siging I will never visit that website never mind get insurance through it no matter how cheap it is.

Hehe - Gocompare dont insure you, theyre just a price comparison site.  Thankfully, that fat twit doesnt jump out of your browser window and annoy you.

Read what I said, you'll find I never said gocompare insured me. I said I wouldnt get insurance through it no matter how cheap it is. couldnt care less what the fat tw@t does, I'll never give gocompare the commission because of their advertisements.
