Out of curiosity, how long did ppls tracker read in transit blah blah 3 weeks before it changed to 10 days.

Mine has been In Transit for 10 days so far and still not on a boat  :rolleyes:

Rang them today (placed order first week of June) and told BW45. Guy told me to expect delivery possibly end of October early Nov. Looked at it, BW 45 is 4th of Nov, no danger il get it in Nov, maybe last week or first week of December. Was so close to binning the idea of a GTD and rang Audi. A3 s-line...quickest I could get one is March. Salesman is a pr*ck as well (sorry for the bad language  :shocked: ) but he couldn't care less

The fibs do really seem to be getting more and more outrageous.  Are they having some sort of internal competition to find out who the most gullible client is?

Never heard of anyone else being promised their car before it is built yet   :rolleyes:

Ha ha yeh, he gave me the usual line...."ehhhh yeh could come earlier" however we all know they all over promise and under deliver. Good things come to those who wait ridiculously long  :grin:

No confirmed BW for me but the est delivery date is 30th Oct which is not bad considering I only ordered it just over a week ago. The dealer told me they had 2 GTD's coming through that weren't tagged for customers so that may be why it's estimated at a relatively quick 8 weeks.

Of course before signing I went over the terms and conditions with a fine tooth comb, and noticed I can cancel the order without penalty 37 days after my est date. So if they haven't gotten the car by the first week in December I'll bin it and get an Audi or something  :grin:

I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that you have the fastest factory order to delivery of anyone in the UK anywhere up to now.  I bet you are crazy chuffed with that estimate!

Two months is Millennium Falcon speed. :smug:

I agree with you both, I felt very lucky when they told me that considering everywhere else quoted me 20 weeks minimum. We will just have to see if it rings true, or if it was simply the dealer trying to get a sale with the hopes of fobbing me off later on.

Unfortunately for them I'm no mug and fully read and understood the T&C's before signing, so if they do start to fluff me around I'll be down on them with the speed of a thousand Gazelles!

Of course I'm in no rush for it (I still have 2 cars to drive in the mean time), so if it gets delayed beyond the 37 days I can try and fleece them for more free stuff like a few years servicing  :grin:
