Hi,

It was a 25 week wait when I ordered on 23 October.  I was allocated build week 48 and the my car arrived at the dealer on 23 December. So 9 weeks in total!

I ordered my GTD 28/10/13 and got a confirmed build of week 9, so looking at 19-20 week and was quoted 25 weeks when ordered.

It does appear from reading posts on here, that a lot of the guys ordering GTI's are getting theirs quicker than GTD's.

Was there any explanation of why the estimate was so wrong. Nine weeks looks like they intercepted a pre-allocated slot.

Volkswagen dealerships get a monthly sheet stating max delivery times, it was 25 weeks just before Xmas but then Volkswagen added more shifts & staff to meet the high demand.

Hi guys

How long did you have to wait for your mk7 GTI/GTD to arrive at the dealership? Are you still waiting for delivery?

I've ordered my GTD with a couple of extras. I've been quoted a delivery of around 5 months :-( I was told the demand for the GTI/GTD is really high hence the waiting time. What are the chances of the car arriving early? ???

Here's to hoping ha!

Mr Dan. If you don't want to wait for your R, drive the deal are advertising a stock car with discount in their 'special offers' section. http://www.drivethedeal.com/specialoffers2012.asp?vans=false
