GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[JJH]

OK that theory is was short lived! Perhaps they just don't give a fcuk!

I WANT MY CAR!!!!!!!!!

[johanr77]

Got an e-mail back from the dealer today, September delivery shot out of the water my car is pencilled in for the first build week in october, they estimate they'll have my car by the end of that month. Just over a month late, if it all comes true though.

I WANT MY CAR!!!!!!!!!

Me and you both 

Seeing others get theirs is making the wait even worse!

Perhaps they just don't give a fcuk!

The most solid theory yet.

Agreed.  Although I'd modify it slightly.  "Perhaps they just don't give enough of a fcuk to make enough of an effort!"

Not got the same ring to it, but I'm sure they care and that they are doing something about it.  What I'm not sure is if they care very much and consequently if they are doing enough.  At the end of the day its easiest for them to apologise, throw some worthless vouchers out, and make small changes to their future production schedules to stop new orders continuing to pile up.  Any of this gonna help us?  No.

That's about right with what info I have - ordered 16th May, date now end October
Leasedrive Velo

Just as an aside - I got a call from my lease company confirming my delivery date and I quizzed her about my order number not working on the tracker. She told me the correct order number (which still didn't work btw) and also stated that the tracker on the VW web-site is more, and I quote, "just a bit of fun"  and I should phone her for a more comprehensive update.

Thanks for that luv 

Hope you guys are having as much fun as I am waiting

Well here goes - an update!

Yesterday I contacted Leasedrive to say that their system was still showing a build date of 8th August (which incidentally had moved twice). They told me that they still expected this date and that they would have the most up to date view. I asked them to get it confirmed as VW were now telling me that it would be end oct.
Well today I get an email from Leasedrive, explaining that the date had been changed but nobody had been informed. So the end of October is the current un-confirmed date. Even Leasedrive are shocked. Moving the date a whole month 1 Week before the original date.

I have lodged a complaint through leasedrive to VW. I await their response.

So over 5 feckin months wait for a car - and what makes it worse is that that is still un-confirmed date!

Its like - VW: thanks for your money, we will build it when we can be bothered!

Rant Over!

Similar patterns emerging here.  At the time I was told BW26 definite, then went to BW28 (highly unlikely to move per VW) - then moved another 5 weeks to BW33.  No reason.  No explanation.  I know its a new model and all that, but 5 months for a car - really??

it'll be one day short of six months for mine if it arrives for 1st October delivery so behave and pipe down

Mine is the same, just under 6 months if my assumption of a 3 week wait after build is correct.

I am fairly happy with the wait as its not far off what the dealer told me but it would be nice to get it sooner.
