Just Got My Build Week!

[Talk-torque]

Got a stage 6 arrived in the uk text this morning, VW say 10 days from this point but also got an email from the dealer this morning saying he's hopeful for next week delivery but the bank holidays may chuck a spanner in the works

I got my 6 last Thursday, so 10 days ago tomorrow. Reckoning on next Tuesday, or even Wednesday, due to the holidays. Checking every hour though, just in case!

Richard managed to get mine delivered to the dealership and turned round with in a week of landing in the UK so there is hope

The dealership was absolutely rammed when i arrived yesterday so despite Diesel gate it seems sales are still healthy.

Was there for about an hour. Walked round the car and was given sufficient time to inspect it but it wasn't inside the show room so didn't get the opportunity for it to be unveiled. That said it was clean inside and out and more importantly when I inspected the paint work this morning (was raining yesterday) the paint work is swirl free. All in all I'm pretty pleased, no hard sell on GAP insurance or other extras, so yea very pleased.

I was about 1/2 hour collecting mine. I didn't want the dealer showing me how anything works or setting up Bluetooth for my phone 
I took a mate to BMW to collect his 3 series last year and it was an embarrassing spectacle, with a patronising prick off a salesman showing him every little gadget and gizmo while my mate rolled his eyes at me over the clowns shoulder.
They had it rotating on a platform for 5 minutes under lights while I admired the swirl marks in the dark blue paintwork.
Totally unnecessary and cringe worthy to be honest. Thank god it wasn't my car we were collecting
PS
I had to read the hand book when I got home because I didn't know how to lock the car without the key

When I collected my last 3 series from BMW it was in the showroom covered with a silky black sheet which 2 salesmen pulled off and then the whole lot of them started clapping  they also had a plinth with a notice on it saying who you are and what car you are collecting..............I found it all quite funny but my Mrs loved it, I just asked for to be shown how the sat nav worked and that was it, it's easy enough to learn most of it by trial and error.

I'm hoping mine will be available for the 2nd April, it will probably depend on when the detailer I've got going in to prep the car.

I thought they'd do an unveiling in the showroom as I noticed an area they used for that when I was in there ordering the car, probably too busy a time to be doing every collection like that. I'm glad all went well for you though, I'm going to ask him to chuck in a rubber boot mat when I collect mine, it'll be handy to just chuck my work stuff on and not worry about dirtying the boot floor.

They may well have done the sheet thing with his but I too busy going scarlet with embarrassment at the whole sorry affair.
Your ordeal sounded like my last trip to TGI fridays
