I think I'd wait for a Mk7 GTD with 500BP and 10000000nm of torque please!

Or GTE (electric) .... you know it will happen one day!

I'd rather pick up my car in Sept than Dec too. By the time December arrives the roads are covered in salt, it's permanently dark and everyone loses the will to live. At least in September you've got a bit of summer and crisp Autumn to look forward to. If you wait until December you may as well wait intil March.........which with VWs delays is quite possible........ :evil:

Can't disagree with that, and I don't even like to get my car wet; but if he wants the car and it's due for delivery December what can he do, it'll have to go out in bad weather sooner or later? I was lucky with mine, it was originally quoted for December delivery, which I wasn't keen on, but due to all the delays didn't get it till March, so got 10 plate insted of 59 and missed all that shyte weather [Mind you, it was just a bad this year, if not worse] :angry:

I would sooner have my car in September so that is kept away from the salt before I got it.

A mate took delivery of a new A5 last January. It had rusty brakes due to been driven around a salted compound and then left to stand for a few weeks before it got to the dealers.

Dealer rang me yesterday and told me the factory had confirmed the order to build my car, and that he was just waiting on the factory to give him a build week. What build week would my car have to have to get it here for Sept if thats possible?

Looks like we put our orders in at similar times, maybe they'll get chatting whilst their going down the production line.

Dealer rang me friday as I had a query about my Gti. He said he would ring me with an update on Thursday on how my order was progressing. Told him I had been on this site and that judging by the posts on here about waiting times I said I thought I would,nt see my car this year, which if thats the case it will be getting cancelled. He then said that if I did not have my car after 16 weeks I would be given a VW supply car . All well and good but I still won,t be taking delivery of my car in say December. Anyone else on here had this offer made to them?
