Just Got My Build Week!

[AntGTD]

Mine is still showing as WC 22nd Feb and slipped from WC 15th Feb. Deposit taken for my current Golf meaning i'll have to get a hire car to tide me over

Ahhhh! Just logged on to the tracker and my "confirmed" build week has changed from 22nd of Feb to the 29th!
Talking to my dealer yesterday about transit times and he said, as others have, that it depends on whether the car catches the current boat, or has to wait for the next one, as they are 3 weeks apart.

My build week has also changed from the 22/02 to 29/02

3 weeks apart 
Far from it. When I was tracking the ships there were 3 of them on the one day at the VW side at Emden. Generally they are every 2 or 3 days
I suggest you ignore that salesman and speak to the cleaner for more relevant info

Stage 5b as of this morning, at port awaiting a ship apparently

Mine was build week WC 22/2 but as of this morning is at stage 5 - built and in transit. Hopefully it will be bumped up to the next stage quickly as I've sold my current Golf.

Let's put it this way. I would be happy to make a little sacrifice to the God of VW logistics if it meant I didn't have to spend as long in my hire car which is a Fiat 500!

Maybe shoving UK cars on the build list back a week was something Cameron just had to concede to get his deal.

Wonder what coming out of the EU would do for VW prices in the UK? 🤔

Just curious about something.

The outstanding finance figure on the vehicle order form only takes into account the Jan payment.

As with the current car I want to get these docs signed this month, cancel the DD due for March and set up the next one for April.

What happens to the payment I made in February - does this adjust the figure on the finance documents I am yet to sign?

Yes, it'll be adjusted if you have a fixed p/x price rather than the dealership promising you the same equity (Benfield/Lookers do this now for PCPers chopping in).

Yes, that's ^^ what I was told. Have to say that a deal of trust is involved in the format of the order form. Your literal interpretation is understandable. How it works came out in my negotiations, as the dealer was struggling to find ways to get me to sign! It's only money!! .... and man maths!!!

The following car carriers are currently in Emden:

CITY OF BARCELONA
EMDEN
WESER HIGHWAY

Now its time to see if I can work out if any of them are heading to the UK anytime soon.
