GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)
« on: 15 June 2013, 08:00 »
I'll kick this off.

As many may know I had to re-orde my GTD due to a shocking dealer/broker/customer bust-up/cock-up.

Anyways my new estimated build week is 43 (but, I'm told may come forward, though not hopeful). Car was re-ordered 13-6-13 (original order was 9-4-13).

I ordered beginning of May.

Estimated build week is 38.

Should I expect some sort of alert if this changes or is this something I would only find out about if I contact my dealer?

It depends on your dealer really, some are proactive in telling you any movement but others may only tell you if it goes to a confirmed BW, best bet is to keep in touch with your dealer.

Ordered 15th of May, still processing but estimated build week of 33.

Thinking of cancelling as it looks unlikely I will get it before October which is just too long.

Just had it confirmed from my dealer that I have been allocated build week 28, which is week beginning 8th July.  I ordered the car in May.

Yeah the VW system, whatever it is, is is utter sh!t.  If you place an order earlier you expect earlier delivery.  What possible reason could VW have for delaying orders placed a month earlier until 2-3 months after later orders?  BS in my opinion.

Like you say, pleased for those getting fast delivery but I honestly feel like VW should be giving some compensation of something for those of us facing months and months extra for no apparent reason.  They should knock a grand off for that sh!t, I'll be losing about that in my p/x anyway!

Come on mcmaddy, surely nothing beats ordering early April, waiting a full 2 months only to find out the car was never ordered :tongue:

Now that is the definition of screwed!  :wink:
