I had an email from my dealer today at 11am. Both mine and my dad's GTDs have moved from order accepted to "assigned" status, meaning that they are now in the build queue but no build week has yet been allocated. If VW are a bit slow on work right now we might get them sharpish.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Exactly what i've just been told by my dealer, he says it'll be here around mid june.

I'll go and have a look round it when it arrives but i'm def waiting till sept, he has promised me that it'll be kept indoors (not the showroom) and no one will drive it other than for PDI and i'm quite happy with that, i asked if having it sooner would make a difference to the trade in value but he said no as he's giving me what it's worth now anyway which is fine, so no incentive other than kudos to have it sooner.

I admire your patience Jimble :)  Sounds like you have a good relationship with your dealer.
