Hard to say for definite as there doesnt appear to be any logic in the VW system but I would say that your dealer is being optimistic.  I think a realistic time frame for cars ordered now is Jan/Feb

I think it's best to assume there is a long wait and then be pleasantly surprised if there isn't.  GTD demand is very high by all accounts.

If you've always wanted one then stick in there!

Wales has gotta be a fab place to drive one though.  Much better than boring flat Cambridge!

Sat with me mate who's the sales manager at a VW garage yesterday. He tried to order a GTD for a customer on Friday and was told March delivery :(

Hope yours has found one "on order" for someone

Diolch!

Oh dear, so do I. We've ordered the red with no extras so I'm hoping it'll be a straightforward build?  :undecided:

Bill, will let you know when we eventually get the car...

Adding extras doesn't really complicate things or delay the car (unless it is something they're in short supply of).

I put an order in at the end of March for a Red GTD with no extras - it will probably be delivered next week (24 weeks) - so March 2014 for a new order placed now seems to be realistic. Hang in there - it'll be worth it.Don't forget to order your next VW 6 months before you actually want it.  :whistle:

Might be sooner than March if the dealer had not used all their allocation up.  Apparently each dealer can order so many GTIs and so many GTDs per month.
