GTD delayed again !
« on: 06 May 2011, 22:51 »
I ordered a GTD DSG Goif on 30 Sept 2010. I have now received a CONFIRMED build date of 4 July 2010 (BW 27), this being a further 4 week delay.

Can anyone understand such a delay for a Golf, Is it worth waiting or time to pull the plug?

While it's a pain, think about the residuals  :wink:

And the MPG (when it arrives)  :grin:

Sorry date should read JULY 2011.  Well its certain to be a MY 2012 if that makes any difference.

Its a debatable thiing do you wait even longer it depends how desperate you are? Did you order any additional options considering its an 8 month wait? At least you should have their courtesy car if you don't have a car.
