The Longest wait
« on: 25 September 2013, 06:57 »
Who has had the longest wait for their car?

I think I am in with a shout, I ordered on the 15th April (23 weeks ago) and my car is at build week confirmed for this week.
I spoke to VW yesterday who told me it may get build next week and should arrive mid Nov (seems a bit long but they are probably stalling)

If this is the case it will be about 30 weeks wait.

Does anyone have a longer wait?

I doubt it'll take 6 weeks from build to dealership tbh although it's not unheard of, if mine arrives sometime next week then i'll have been waiting around 28 weeks, i think you and i will be pretty similar? Test drove a a GTI and a GTD for the first time last weekend and it will definately be worth the wait! :cool:

I have to say I was a bit disappointed when I spoke to VW yesterday, I had the feeling they were hiding something. As my car is supposed to be built this week I hoped it would be here late Oct but they said mid Nov.

Fingers crossed for you mate, mine skipped the being built part on the tracker wk 37 and went straight to in transit 4 weeks on the 14/09, it changed to 10 days yesterday so has been released to port, i'm hoping to get it on the 5th or 6th so would make it about 3 weeks from build to dealership.

F*ck sake, and here was me thinking I was hard done by ordering back in he first week in June. April?! That's an absolute disgrace in my opinion. VW have had this oh so wrong from the outset. Never had issues like this with Audi

Slightly different situation for me as I'd have my car by now if the original one hadn't been hail damaged... however ordered 24th April, confirmed BW40, expected delivery early November.

Just been told at last minute mine will be delayed a further 3 weeks due to factory part shortage as was expecting it mid October, so if arrives on new date then it will be 25 ish weeks
