I don't think the delivery situation from VW has helped matters and that's not to say for a moment that I blame VW in any way. However the MK6 GTI (and lesser models reading the last post) are obviously somewhat of a sort after car.

I'm still trying to get to grips with the fact that the car was ordered Sept 09 and took until April 10 for delivery, and within less than 2 days the car has gone.

We called the VW dealer and apparently 2 other top end cars (not VW's but within the VW family) were delivered to customers on Friday 9th April were also nicked off peoples drives!

You can jump to so many conclusions, the car could still be local or most probably now in a container going somewhere far far away. What I do know is that having driven around in the MK5 GT TDI for a few days, I will be sortin this out and no criminal is going to put me off driving the car that I wanted i.e. another GTI MK6. Just ope the insurance gets sorted soon and the lead times come down. Waitin another 8 months is going to be gut renching!

A tracker for me or do I want back a stolen car?
Group buy?

Yeah a tracker is definately the way to go, but probably a pre delivery option?

If the car's been watched i.e. delivery from the garage and/or it's an inside job, your bulk order ain't much use!

it's great you feel like this. personally though if i were in your position i would either look for a 2nd hand one or just get another car - i don't have the patience to wait 8 months, what is this? waiting for a Bentley or something? it's a friggin Golf! make some more quick! well i know it's not that simple but honestly, the wait times really are bonkers

Damn. I so wanted to be a cheapskate again!

I agree, a nearly new GTI would be the quicker option. However I think having a nearly new GTI would feel a bit like getting my nicked one back after 3 months i.e. it just wouldn't quite be the same as a having new one off the producton line.  

It's in the hands of the Police and insurance now. Geees I got no hope!

Geees I got no hope!

You never know.

So 3 cars all from the same garage were nicked on the same night.
Coincidence?! My arse.

I don't believe for a minute the thieves just hung about outside the garage in the hope some new cars drove out!!

Stranger than fiction.
