I would really be up for tripping off to Wolfsburg and then Worthersee.
But I cannot drive there as my shoulder might give way and I'll subsequently need a broad shoulder to cry on.

I'm now 10 weeks from order and not a clue about when my car will be here. Dealer the last time I was in 2-3 weeks ago had no information at all, and I feel like I'm putting folk out when I dare ask the question. Sales guy I'm dealing with is a genuine guy (sold the wife her golf at the start of the year), but I surely would have had some indication by now about proposed build week or even order acceptance. Sales manager said "they sometimes just turn up"

So I'm heading in to see them tomorrow to see what the score is with one eye on cancelling and just getting myself a near new preowned one if there is no information two and a half months after ordering. Plenty of GTD's on autotrader at the moment, even if they are in deepest England.

Am I being unreasonable? I don't want to be hanging on with no info until it turns up, sometime in the future.

Seems very poor customer service if you ask me. Mine was ordered at the end of April and i have a build week of week 25 so should be ready early to Mid July. I will prob wait though to get the new reg in Sept. I have regular updates from the dealer.

You would be the greater beneficiary as you would possibly be able to afford the Insurance Premium.  :tongue:

Dealers says no info on system apart from order form. They called VW who say all info removed due to build spec update changeover. It should be back on system after the weekend.
