So many orders confirmed for week 30 :shocked: I wonder did they finally have the numbers to build a boat load for the UK that week? :undecided:  :grin:

I was lucky and ordered a PP that was already queued for build. Order went in on the 1st June, build week was not showing on the app but randomly got a notification saying it had been built on the 8th June. Expected delivery for this model is apparently 4 weeks so hoping to collect mid to late July.

Spoke to VW chat a few days ago and it is awaiting transport to the port. :laugh:

It will be interesting to see how long it does take to get to you, my build week is next week so currently debating (with myself) if i take it when it potentially arrives at the dealer or defer to Sept.
On order - 5Dr GTI Performance 245 DSG, Indium Grey, climate windscreen, DCC, Dynaudio.

I was thinking the same, I was initially told it would be ready to collect in early August, in which case the argument for deferring it until 1st September was a lot stronger. The dealer was happy to store it for the 67 plates. Now that it looks more like Mid July I don't think I would wait the additional month and a half, not that there is much point as there is a lot less focus on the plate these days, more the date it was registered.

If all goes well I think your car will be built by the 23rd, shipping takes 3/4 weeks so I would say late July/first week of August? Only a 3/4 week wait for the new plates. The dealers will be desperate to clear orders prior to the September rush so I doubt they will hang around with the prep.



Edit:- Just had a call from the dealer this afternoon and it has arrived in the UK, they are trying to get it to me before 1st July...   Things are moving quickly now.

Well, bit of a surprise, the tracker app just notified me that my car had been built already (a week early) and is now in transit. My assumption is that its looking like Mid July (unless of course this is a delayed tracker message and its actually half way here).

My 5dr GTI manual was build week 25 (5th June). On live chat on Wednesday I was told it was at Tyne and my dealer had booked transport for it. Had a call this morning(Friday) from my dealer to say the car had arrived late afternoon Thursday. It should be ready for collection Wednesday, although I'm popping in to sort paperwork tomorrow and have a sneaky peak.
Not too bad a delivery time at 7 weeks from ordering to collection.

So only a few days from Port to dealership?  Interesting, had another call from my dealer Thursday night saying that they were pulling out all the stops to have mine ready to collect next week!

I think entirely depends on luck of the draw once it arrives. Mine was off the boat on the 1st of June and it took until Monday to arrive at the dealers and it's being delivered to me on Monday afternoon.
