GTD build Times

[Cossieian]

So I ordered my new GTD this week, dealer reckons I'll have it in 8-12 weeks, I thought that was a little optimistic.
Anyone ordered one recently and know a realistic timescale??

I'm in no real panic as I still get to drive my current GTD

Hi Cossieian,just wondering why your changing your current GTD for another GTD.
Granted they are great cars.

Really wanted DSG plus I wanted to release all my savings from my current car, so went PCP instead of buying outright, didn't see the point in having £20k savings in a depreciating Assit, just hope I've done the right thing lol
Was going to go for an R but with the miles we do it wouldn't be the best decision

Do you plan to buy the car at the end of the PCP agreement out of interest?

No definatly not! I never keep my cars any longer than a year or 2

I buy my cars outright like you did with yours,the way I look at it I am borrowing the money interest free from myself rather than pay interest to another party.If you need the 20k fair enough to release the equity.
I often wonder like yourself if it's best going the pcp or lease route but I always conclude that if you can buy without the need for credit and get a decent discount it's more efficient.
I can see where your coming from though Cossieian.

Yea I've thought about it over and over in my head and I just decided to heck wif it, just try it and see how it goes, at the end of the day if I don't like it I can always change my mind and just buy a car outright again with the money, sure I'll pay a bit of interest along the way but hey it's better than pissing it up a wall

[AndyG]

Yeah it's probably as long as it is broad.
Looks a good spec and DSG is fantastic.

I was expecting my build week 28 to confirm today and was then told yesterday I'm now sitting on BW40! Initially was BW22.

Absolute madness how a company such as VW can have an 18 week variation in build date!

Hopefully you might have better luck than me!

That's crazy..

No wonder they are putting on 26 extra Saturday/ Sunday shifts soon.
