I got my stage 5a text this morning, which was a surprise considering the car wasn't scheduled to be built until next week!

And I got....... f**k all confirmation of stage 3 today,

Will see what tommorow brings, or not.  Something tells me it's not going to be BW35

It's so frustrating! Initially I was told mine would be a week34 - now it's apparently a week35. The tracker still hasn't budged from "with the factory"!

It does all seem to be a bit hit and miss. I'm astounded mine is moving so quickly given the experience of others.

I've been well lucky, ordered May 29th, At the dealership July 29th, pick-up August 3rd.

That's a record for all the cars I've had from new.

Agree. 

My delay is most likely down to the rumoured Pretoria alloys supply issue.  I'm used to waiting 5-ish months for a Golf, but 8/9 months is testing my patience, especially as I ordered in Jan assuming (wrongly) that 7 months should be sufficient lead-in.

I have been getting regular BW updates from my dealer, so only occasionally visit the tracker, as I'm sick  to the death of seeing that bloody "with the factory" icon.  Grrr   

I really think mine is more likely a 40+ BW, despite what the dealer has been telling me!!!

Ordered 16th April ~ still no build date 

I'd be happy if the online tracker did anything other than say 'with the factory' 

That's shocking.I ordered mine on 1st of July.Dealer confirmed build week 35 delivery before end of Sept.
I don't think the online tracker is worth much.My tracker still says with the factory.Better to phone the dealer direct I think.
I wonder how much the bulid date is affected by dealer quotas?.I've read on here that brokers tend to be slower than main dealers.
I'm not too fussed about when I get my GTD.My trade in value is fixed.But it would be nice to get it before the snow begins.
Or it could be that my dealer is just being optimistic.......

Wow you're flying - I got fed up waiting on an update so contacted dealer who told me I was initially 'unconfirmed' at week 32 when I ordered on the 4th July and now it has 'slipped' to week 40 - registered with the tracker and I suppose it's just a waiting game - currently with the factory and expect to be there for a while - bit disappointing seeing I order about 2 weeks after you Battleshipgray

Indeed. I've pretty much ordered the basic car, CSG paint, and will come with the added extras of Keyless etc. But clearly if you spec something additional, it will have an effect on lead-in times.

I thought the dealer was being over optimistic in telling me three months. Knowing my luck it'll sit at Emden for several weeks before being put on the boat

It's pretty piss poor.All this' might be then ,might be some other time'.I work in manufacturing.If I said to a customer the same thing.They would look elsewhere.But then they wouldn't be getting what they really wanted!.
