does any1 know how long it takes to build the car from your confirmed build date and when it will actually land at my door step? VW customer services has told me late sept early oct and i ordered mine at the end of april and have a build week 35 JOKE!

Don't complain too much, I ordered a little earlier than you and have not even got a confirmed BW yet! :sad: You're lucky! :wink:

Anyway, to answer your question, its usually 4 weeks from changing to confirmed BW to the BW, right now its 7 due to the 3 weeks shutdown.  Its something like 3-4 days to build the car, so assume the whole of that BW is needed.  It can then be up to 6 weeks before you're driving away in it.  Probably that could drop to as little as 3 weeks given the right circumstances but I would assume 4-6 to be safe.

So you could have the keys around wk40-42.  That is first half of Oct in real money.

Assumptions are being made here of course!
