It Should be Built This Week!
« on: 13 June 2011, 22:10 »
Heard from the dealer today that my car (GTD) should be built this week  :smiley: It's been a long wait as I ordered it mid November.

I'd read lots about the build delays before ordering so was aware when I placed my order that it'd be a long(ish) wait, but I wasn't expecting it to be quite this long. However, judging by what I've read on this forum, it'll be worth the wait and I shouldn't be disappointed when I finally get it. I'm hoping for early July delivery - I've decided not to wait for the September 61 plate as I'd rather have it now and enjoy driving it during what's left of the summer.

Spec of my car is; 5 door GTD, Carbon Grey, 18" Charlestons, Bi-Xenons, Front/Rear parking sensors, RCD 510 with Dynaudio and Luxury Pack.

Thanks everyone for keeping me entertained with the many and varied posts during the long period while I've been waiting. I'll post some pictures when I get my car.  :wink:

Mine was built last week. Might be here at the end of this month, but most likely early July too. You'll be getting MY2012 aswell :cool:

Did your dealer mention a £40 voucher for having to wait more than 6 months? :rolleyes:

Sounds like near enough the perfect spec to me.  :smiley:
Touch wood, only a few more weeks.

Yes, it should be MY2012 although the differences between MY11 and MY12 aren't really show stoppers for me - LED number plate lights and being able to fully switch off the traction control, IIRC. 

No, my dealer hasn't mentioned anything about a £40 voucher. Do you know whether or not that's something being offered by all VW dealers if you've been waiting more than 6 months?

I heard 16 weeks was the "Reimburse  me point" So maybe strike a deal that instead of a loan car it's £40/week per delay off the final bill.  Or get them to service / cambelt your old car prior to sale (I like that one).

Service this shocking at this price point is shabby.  I'm 5.5 weeks since I ordered and would likeley have a BMW by now had I gone for the blue propeller number!

... I know the changes are not worth waiting for, but still nice to have a 2012 model  :cool:

Spoke to my dealer - the voucher is from VW, so should apply to all dealers.

You might find this bit interesting - the 'system' showed a chassis number last Friday. Today it is showing 'shipped'. Fingers crossed, I may be able to collect it at the end of next week :smug:

Contacted my dealer today and they tell me my car is currently 'in the build process'. I asked about the £40 voucher and they tell me it's a £40 VW accessories voucher and should be sent direct from VW head office. 

Any news on when your car will be ready for you to collect? I see you ordered in September (nice spec!  :cool:), so you've had a longer wait than me! Hope you enjoy; remember to post some pictures up.
