I paid a £500 deposit early march to secure allocation with the understanding that i wanted it in sept, being honest i am quite surprised he ordered it as soon as he could? I have told him i don't want it in the showroom or used as a demo. What else can i say??

I totally understand.

But do you have an order number yet?
The dealers are dealers after all and will probably just put you in the queue.

If that coincides with a Sept delivery then great.

The three dealers I tried wanted at least 1k before they would take the order.

Get the order number and ask your dealer for a screenshot of confirmation.

My dealer put my order through with a £500 deposit... I haven't heard from them re: an order number though. I'm assured the order has been put through though!

Gosh we're all so impatient and eager to get these cars aren't we lol

Yes, because us mk6ers remember the last time.

No order number?
Dealers will take orders and put them in front of you if they have a pushy customer.
They have also been known to take orders knowing that they cannot fulfil them. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I have the order number for mine and my dad's GTDs. I only had to put £200 down on mine but the dealer wanted £500 off my dad. How does the tracker work then? Anyone got a web address that I assume you input your order number into? The dealer has confirmation that our cars will be delivered to Tyne Dock (about a mile from my house and 8 miles from the dealership) rather than one of the 2 main VW delivery hubs (i'm assuming one near Hull/Grimsby and another around Folkestone/Kent) which will supposedly knock nearly a week off delivery time.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
