My dealer was fine just moved me onto new deal as well.
Unfortunately the build date looks like it may have slipped again!
Originally placed deposit late September jumped onto the back of a dealer demo pre order due October with colour and spec I wanted.
Then moved back to unconfirmed build date 44, spoke with VW uk reference potential spec change post BW45 today and was told now have a unconfirmed build date of week 47 which means potential delivery just before Christmas! Unless it goes back again.
VW state no change to GTI or R BW45 onwards.
Have a real dilemma which I discussed with my dealer, do I continue and register in the new year. I have asked if there is anything else with similar spec they can get sooner.
On the plus side my px price on the Honda Civic stands despite the delay.
