November order's 09

[Steve30]

 Its done orderd on 27th Nov reflex Silver 3 door lux pack, DSG monza'z 18's.
Build week10 if i'm luky. Went in to the dealers today to try and push them a bit but he said maybe end of Jan My question is when does the VAT start from IE when the ordor was put it or when the car is picked up? This waiting time is load B-------?? These GTI's have been out for ages whats the hold up???

VAT is at Invoice time so when you pay your bill in full. Ie when you pick it up.

Build week 10, then work on getting the car 13th week of the year. So April.

But theres an offer on VW website that if you order in October or November they will cover the VAT rise as long as the cars registered before 28th feb but if the build week you have is week 10 then fat chance of that happening!

Hold up,
Theres a few things been said why this is, going about.

Theres a shortage of RCD310(standard CD unit in the UK) and RCD510 (optional 6cd one) radios adding around 4 weeks min to the build weeks at the factory.

Theres a rumour that VW UK only booked a certain amount of build slots at the factory at the start of the year and basically its not enough for what they have ordered, they say because of the demand due to scrappage etc.

I spoke to my dealer the other day enquiring about an Eos for the wife. He said it'd be April if I ordered now so it isn't just GTis that take ages. He said there was nothing lying around at all so you have to wait ages for everything.
Since VW/Porsche have just announced a profit (despite a recession) of £gazillions there's your answer why you have to wait - they're flogging everything like hot cakes and can't keep up. Simples!!!

Hi guys

Not sure if you've been reading the August thread but, without wishing to be a bit of a kill joy, I wouldn't be shocked if you have to wait a bit longer than you're expecting. Maybe the delays will sort themselves out but I ordered a 3 door with xenons, 18", leather, dynoaudio and a few other bits back in August and am now being told it won't be built until week 7...

Ditto, ordered Aug-2009, latest is now BW 10-2010

^Yep us August orders are all around that time. Mine at the last update was BW06

My question is when does the VAT start from IE when the ordor was put it or when the car is picked up?

As said above, VAT is at the time of collection.  Most VW dealers have a deal on just now that if you get the car between 1st Jan - 28th Feb 2010 that they will pay the VAT increase.
The problem is that most cars ordered now will not be ready by then!!
I've got a deal with my dealer that if it arrives after 1st March, that they will pay HALF the VAT increase.
Its worth trying to negotiate something - but then if you've already signed and put a deposit down, you've got little chance!

Snoopy referre above to limited build slots and the impact of scrappage.

I've confirmed today with VAG that this is indeed fact but there's a real anticipation that all is startin to settle which will have a positive impact on availability from early January.
