Completely agree, all the anguish and agony of waiting just slips away when the car arrives.

Company cars should be quicker...I placed my CC GTD order at the end of dec and it arrived at the dealer last week of feb. Has been there waiting until 9 April when current CC term expires.

I'm getting a bit miffed off with VW. I placed my order with them on 5th Feb, which was confirmed by the dealer. I was originally given an estimated BW16, it has since gone up to BW18 and has now been pushed back further to BW20. This is still only estimated so I'm concerned that it's going to get pushed back further still! It's kinda stuffed things up in a way with my current motor; if it was going to be built on BW16 everything would work out fine. I know others on here placed their order for a GTD much later in Feb and they have had a confirmed BW16/17.

Is it me being unreasonable or have I a right to be annoyed? I accept that there is a wait but I just feel I'm being taken as a mug by my VW dealer.

If it gets pushed back further again then I'm going to be very tempted to cancel the order and get the new shape C Class instead!... Not because I've gone off the GTD, but because of the VW dealer.

Join the club unfortunately!!! But bear with it because its we'll worth the days when you want to throttle the vw salesman. 8months 10000miles yet everyday feels like the day I got it :smiley: :laugh: :whistle:

Well, the tracker is still showing as the second stage "order with the factory". It's not as if I had any of the big options off the list... Keyless, climate screen and ATP; nothing that should be too difficult!

CarMadDad,

I feel your pain.. just hang in there buddy.  its worth the wait. these forums keep you going, trust me.
the date maybe getting postponed, but just think it will come earlier.
the dealers probably aren't to blame as long as they put the order through, and you have your tracking number.
Working in retail, I can relate to them a little bit I guess.

slowly but surely it will come. and if you go for the c-class, will it compare to thrill from the VW GTD?

I ordered mine last May. After the delivery date slipped 3 month I cancelled and bought a 2nd hand mk6. Very happy I did now. Was so reluctant to give VW my money after they pissed me off so much.
