Car arriving Early ? Build Week 45

[monkeyhanger]

Lucky you! I WANT mine earlier, but it's still sitting at "with the factory". I ordered the car on 4th September!!!

Long wait ahead of you methinks - 23 weeks is about average. Settle down there fella!

Without you guys thinking Im nuts I think I am going to cancel and re-order.

Tried to get the dealer to sort it to no avail and the same with VW CS !

I just think I dont want to regret not having it, given I had it on the initial order only to be told it couldnt be ordered.

Haha.. Your nuts  oj

In the long term your probably making the wise move. It would probably only annoy you and detract from the new car feeling if you didn't have everything you wanted. Hopefully won't be too long waiting on a new build date.

Does every option you ordered appear on the tracker?

You can see the options I added in my signature below, but my tracker doesn't show them. In fact it shows Performance pack which I didn't even order!



for the record you can see that mine still says with the factory and now build week yet. 2 weeks post order and I understand some of you lucky guys managed to move to stage 3 within a fornight! I am going to wait for the 14 plate anyway but will feel better doing that stint of the wait in the knowledge that the car is in blighty.

The online tracker won't show your extras...just basic info including colour etc.

I've noticed a few other people mentioning that there order said performance pack even though they didn't order it... Might be worth while confirming this with your dealer though as well as getting an estimated build date (if you haven't already).

If your aiming for a 14 plate it's definitely worth while holding out and hoping you don't get a confirmed build for a while. I was surprised to get mine so soon but am just hoping to drag it out until January so it's a 2014 registered car.

Interestingly ... The dealer emailed me earlier saying I have 50 days to complete the sale as that is when VW require payment for that vehicle so if this car came in early which would be approx the 2nd week of December they wouldnt hold it until March for me.

I have advised that It doesnt work for me Financially also I want a 14 plate so lets see what happens.

[R20TNR]

On that basis, and if it was me, I would definitely be looking to cancel and reorder.

That way you know financially it's better, your getting the spec you want, getting a 14 plate... and you'll also miss the worst of the UK winter weather/ roads.

[MM087]

Exactly

Is the camera definitely able to be ordered now?

[MM087]

Yep
