The delivery times must be based on the specs of the cars.  Not a lot you can do really, just spec the car you want and wait  :sad:

Definitely. It will be based on the availability of whatever components are needed for your build... including standard items that are actually options as far as the German factory are concerned.

Interesting seeing some of the comments complaining of long waiting times. When you reach 20 weeks plus then you're waiting, 11 and 12 weeks isn't a wait.

Agree mcmaddy, 11 and 12 weeks is nothing. When I had my mk6 GTD it took 8 months from date of order to taking delivery. I'd have been more than happy with a 20 week wait.

Ordered and paid my deposit 8th July and have just been notified my car has landed in the UK - happy days!

Already planning a new car protection detail and several modifications.  :grin:

i do agree that if they can get a car to me in 3-4 months, its not that bad. It's the first time i have not bought from stock, so i will stop complaining until it becomes 6 months.

for those who have longer wait times - are you renegotiating any equity in you current cars? or do you have to just accept what they gave you when you ordered?

i guess it can go down, but in 6 months you'd hope not.

I'm not sure what you're asking here - sorry.

In my case of delayed delivery, the dealer is holding to the px price agreed which leaves them out pocket by whatever my car depreciates in the extra month I'm driving it.
On order: 7.5 230 PS, 3 door, DSG.  Pearl black with heated screen, Dynaudio & reverse camera.

this is where my man maths gets exposed...

so i currently have a vw golf on finance which i am px'ing to get the gti. i have over a year left on the three year term. it had about £600 of equity in it when i ordered the gti. in 4 months time, i will have paid more off than it would depreciate and the settlement figure should mean there is more equity in the car.

its probably only a few hundred quid at best, but if you were waiting 6 months it could be a grand.

or i could have got it completely wrong.

The old car's finance though isn't settled until you do the PX though.

So whatever the dealer gives you for the old car is subtracted from the outstanding finance bill at the time of transaction, so whatever is owed is owed on that day.

Sure the figure is going to be different to the one you've got now, but don't worry - they will make sure its right.
