GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[linc-dub]

Its always been at BW34 since ordering in May.

I ordered my GTD on 17/7/2013 through our lease company - they told me 21 weeks (beginning of December)

The dealer they use, Sytner, Leeds have called me and told me to expect the car at the end of October... If they do that it'll arrive about 14 weeks after ordering...

If it turns up in October it will be a miracle, I ordered mine on the 15th April and have been given a build week of 36. This means it will arrive in the middle of October I think.

December is probably more realistic for you.

Depends purely on allocation with the supplying branch - Oct delivery is entirely possible from a branch that hasn't dipped into it's dealership allocation more than once, maybe twice already.

I ordered mine 3rd of June and was told to expect it middle to end of September, not even got a build week confirmed yet but my current GTD somehow managed to evade the VW order tracking system completely and turn up two months earlier than indicated by VW at ordering. Not expecting that to happen again though.

I'm hoping to have my build week confirmed in the next 2-3 weeks.

The estimated Build Week currently keeps shifting between Week 37 and 38. 4 weeks prior to that is W/C 12.08.13 so fingers crossed I get some solid info soon.

I ordered mine on 27th April and was given a delivery date of 1st week in August at the time. Obviously something they just wildly guessed at.

I really don’t think that will happen again (getting it 2 months earlier than planned). The dealer will be able to find out the current situation on estimated build week any time they ask VWUK. The estimated build week will be just that until approx. 4 weeks before they decide they are going to build it and the build week is confirmed. If you have an estimated build week that is quite close (Sept/Oct) relative to your order date it would suggest to me that the dealership has plenty of unused allocation.

They could well do they're not a large city dealership but more a medium sized one, to be fair to the salesman the whole way through the haggling process he did point out that he cannot guarantee September but he was confident and I was one of the first to order a GTD through them.

My current car has to go back by the end of September so they have promised to provide me a car until mine turns up, I've not really been pushing them too much for info but the last e-mail I got confirming the order number did say that while a build week isn't confirmed they were still hoping for late September.

I was the first person at my dealership to order a GTD and they had only had 1 GTI order then, so I dont think dealer allocation has much to do with the wait we are experiencing and the build weeks slipping back!

When did you order and what is your current estimated BW?
