Orders 22 & 38 are outrageous!!  good work though, think what we can glean from this is that we will all be waiting a very long time  :sad:

Great chart, I think I can identify me and my dad there. I'm guessing the shortest waiter (8 weeks, ID12) has ordered late (compared to many of us) from their dealer but was still the first person to order from that dealer and so has had a favourable estimated BW.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Chaps, just keep in mind these are estimated BWs as we don't have many confirmed yet.  I'm still suspicious (hopeful) that for whatever reason some people are being estimated BWs in the 30s, which will later become low 30s or high 20s.  I say hopeful because I'm one of the ones with the high estimated 30s BW. :whistle:

However, this is what we have to go on at the moment.  FYI the mean waiting is 3.5 months, the lowest is 1.9 and the highest is 5.5!  This doesn't include shipping which will add at least another 0.5 month I guess.  Now even that isn't very useful just yet because if we are seeing conservative estimates from VW for some people it will skew the mean to the high end.  Also since some of us ordered ridiculously early that will also have the effect of skewing the mean to the high end because we've introduced an effective minimum wait for some orders.

As soon as I can be more precise I will post more but I think we might have to wait a couple weeks before we have better info.

According to VW all orders were to have been allocated from BW22 ie. confirmed BWs, so I don't think we should hold our breath!

After a few e mails from my Lease Company (Company Vehicle ordered through Listers VW of Worcester) I now have an order number. Admitedly I only ordered my 3dr GTD Pure white on 17.05.2013 (changed to Tornado red on 20.05.13 & back to pure white on 24.05.13, but it does not recognise the order number. Does anyone want to hazard a guess when I will see mine?? Please don't say November or December as I don't think I could make it!!

Did you fill in the survey? If so I can find the closest match to you and let you know that orders estimated BW.  As it happens I ordered from Listers myself.   I went GTI though, and I don't know if the get separate allocation by location as they've got a few showrooms.  My BW is currently 37.

i wouldnt get too hung up on build weeks just yet. Having just spoken to the salesman im buying from he has said estimated build weeks will come forward and thats from VW themselves. My change of adding DCC hasnt pushed my order back according to him so we'll wait and see what happens.

Bill_The_Bear, Yes I filled in the survey but I didn't have my order number at the time so had to leave it blank. Should I go back in & re do it now I have it?
