GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[Bill_the_Bear]

I have been told mine is being built on the 10th Sept - but still no confirmed date on the tracker!
When did you order?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Rik!  Perhaps with some people cancelling they can drop those slots and move other orders in sooner?

Well we can hope.  I suspect they'll keep those cars building and flog them for the full retail though.

At foooooooookin last!

Checked the VW order tracker today - Confirmed build week 38 !!
Will be getting built W/C 15.09.13

(To be fair to my dealer, they have always quoted this build week but could never confirm until the tracker did it today)

However, they originally kept telling me that this date would come forward (it obviously didn't)

Bill, sorry to hear you have cancelled your order................hope the M135 makes you happy. Never driven one myself so I wouldn't know & as mine is a Company Car the best available 1 series on the list is the 116 M Sport, that's why I've stuck out the wait for the GTD

Only another 3 months to wait!!

Just checked and tracker now showing build week confirmed for w/c 15/9 so week 38. My dealer has been saying week 38 for a while, started at 36 and slipped a couple of weeks. At least its not week 51 and my build has the infamous reversing camera and DSG

I have been told mine is being built on the 10th Sept - but still no confirmed date on the tracker!
When did you order?

Order confirmed on May 7th

Thanks Bill
With all these BW38 being confirmed - I once again think the 10th is bull
Looks like I will be at least BW39

Order confirmed on May 7th

Mine was ordered on the 16th May - which is close, so there may be hope that although their date is again wrong, it may not be long

Phoned for another update and I have had my build week moved but only by a week from 40 to 41. I asked why others were getting moved into next year and she said that she could only comment on my particular case and that the delays with mine were probably down to the reversing camera.

Said I should phone again in a couple of weeks to make sure the build week hasn't moved again.

Well I suppose thats good news that not *every* GTD is being moved to BW51.  Just out of interest - when did you order?

Ordered 3rd of June.

I think we need a Poll to find out who is cancelling due to this order mess !!
If anybody from VW took a look - maybe it would spur them into some sort of action??

I have started to look at what other cars are about now - I'm fed up with the wait and lack of information.
I expected my BW to be confirmed (again) this week.

I think the cancellers are pretty all much GTIers. There are cars that compare well to the GTI on performance, price, residuals etc. The GTD doesn't have as much viable competition, so we're stuck waiting.

Maybe the moderators can commission a batch of Simon Thomas dartboards to sell to forum members, i'm sure they'd move fast.
