WTF!!!!!! GTD delayed by another 5 months

[domrees]

Before you do anything rash I would find out what the delay is.

And also find out what car you would get after 20 weeks.
Won't necessarily be an up.

If it is a mk7 golf or scirocco ( or indeed a c class merc..) who knows?

It's not like you are under any time pressure

Wow and I thought I had it tough waiting 17 weeks after ordering 1st week April

Easy for me to say, but don't cancel, it's a fantastic car !!!

I have thought about asking for a courtesy car while I wait, its already been 18 weeks and apparently they provide one after 20 weeks.

I asked about this. Birmingham vw told me they don't offer one.

They have to offer one. It's in their terms. So they're talking sh1te!

Could you refer me to something so I am equipped with summat when I go back to them.

What happens with the part ex value when they delay your order?

I would think they would have to honour it. I have just sold mine privately so I'm without a car for the next 5 months.

Dealer would have to take a massive hit on the part ex value after 10 months.

Always get a fixed p/x - hopefully the OP has done this. VW can compensate the dealer for delays which eat away at the P/X value, after 20 weeks from order acceptance by VW UK, I believe.

If the dealer cannot provide a coutesy car then VW UK should be able to provide one directly, again after 20 weeks from order acceptance.

Have a look on the terms & conditions on the back of your order form, I think its on there.  Or just phone the VW Exec Office (they were the ones that confirmed this for me).

I will do, does anyone have the exec office's contact details. I called VWCS they said courtesy cars due to delays need to be taken up with the dealership with whom you ordered.

That's how I understand it - your dealership is responsible for providing the courtesy car, and they will have to claim any costs back from VW.
