BUILD DATES
« on: 29 August 2011, 20:44 »
I found a thread about this somewhere on here but can't seem to find it!!!
I ordered a car at the end of may and was told parts were picked about 2-3 weeks ago, when would I expect to receive my car.

Sorry if this has been asked before

I recived bad news today. My car ain't coming till November some time. There has been a freeze on production they can't get the dsg gearbox:-(
I have hired a fiesta to keep me going as I sold mine ages ago, VW have said they will supply me a car 5 months from me ordering which is the middle of September.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Cancel the order and shop else where try and source a GTD or Buy a Tiguan  :wink: 4WD Golf

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

All IMO

Tiggies: It's a 4wd golf for urban dwellers where pot holes and curbs are the biggest issues, often driven by Yummy Mummy's  :smiley:

If you live anywhere near a fast flowing road the lower center of gravity makes the difference...

Sorry to hear about your delay, time to start pushing perhaps in a friendly up beat way, maybe write a few letters, make a few calls.  If you do want to slog it out, start looking at greater compensation.... maybe ask them for LOTS off a nearly new one they may have in the stockyard.

Or can the order and go buy private, nearly new or .....what seems to be the way convert to a Bavarian alternative.

My R is on schedule - build week 36, DSG, sat nav, all the toys. Even managed to add rear view camera to the order.
The only trouble is now in my new job I get to drive cars we make and in comparison the R will be soooo sloooow. Let's just say the smallest engine we have is 4.7 V8 :evil:
Golf GTI VI DSG - died on the road, resurrected, came back as zombi, sold
R - rising blue, 5-door, DSG, ACC, something something...
