Amazing - we all ordered within a few days of each other!

No Excuse - what did you order?

[noexcuse]

My current car is GT TDI Mk4 have had it almost 11 Years ! So Naturally it has to be a GTD, Manual, CSG, Leather, reversing camera, Park assist, Service pack, 4 Year Warranty and more importantly keyless entry. Could not justify the Sat Nav option or DSG. Had ordered it as a company car back in June for a September delivery which slipped to December. Working out the tax and loss of company allowance was going to cost be approx £6k pa over 3 years £18k !!!. Looking to keep it for 3 years and then sell on self finance (£16k  life savings and the other £10k on a credit card balance transfer 3% over 30 months. Much cheaper than the 6% pa VW option. Getting excited now end of March cannot come soon enough

Nice choice of colour!  So you mean you canceled the original company car order?

[noexcuse]

The company car was ordered through a leasing company. I had asked for the tracking number "we have never been asked for a tracking number ever before" Did not like the attitude of them had to deal via HR dept could not talk directly as the salesman too busy. After speaking to VWCS they gave me a December delivery !. Then there was no courtesy car ! for the 20+ week wait.  I cancelled they tried to negotiate with the offer of a courtesy car, to little too late.

As we all ordered at around the same time does anyone know what exhaust system we get ? as the sport and sound pack wasn't an option back then !

[Mark V GTD]

Just the standard one Ezz. You could have added 'Sport and Sound Pack' after BW45 if you had wanted it (up until you got the confirmed Build Week).

[EzzG]

I'm sure/hope the standard exhaust will still sound nice !!

[Mark V GTD]

Well here we are at BW8 finally!  My tracker still says 'build week confirmed' but that is as expected as obviously the car may not go in to production until the second half of this week....

I am getting the same  "Build week confirmed" no matter how many time's I refresh the page

I am getting the same  "Build week confirmed" no matter how many time's I refresh the page 

Don't worry - I'm BW 7 and the tracker never showed "Build In Progress" - just jumped to "In Transit" on Saturday morning. A few other people on the BW7 thread are reporting the same thing....
