Ordered my 5dr DSG PP with a few options this Thursday (Aug 30), told 26 weeks...but then the dealer had a slot pre-booked in the new 2019 factory build schedule that I took, so lead time reduced to 17 weeks. I'm hoping just in time for Christmas! We'll see......

Hi new on the forum and seriously thinking that the GTI PP could be my next car but shocked when visiting the local Dealer today to find lead times of 26/27 weeks whether it be a GTI or R. From what I've seen so far the TCR looks very interesting but with a December announcement  it could mean the middle of next summer for delivery if lead times don't improve. Not convinced I can wait that long. Not sure what pre booked slots are but are they likely to have them for the GTI TCR.

I was in the market for a new GTI PP but 26 weeks has just totally ruled me out.

There doesn’t appear to be any demos around my area either as my local dealer says he can’t get them.

I keep saying it, 26 weeks for a Golf or what for something else?

Unless you want an Astra that's already parked on an airfield in Bristol.

Look further afield then... Carwow or Autotrader will help and a long drive to pick up a car isn’t the greatest hardship.

I just had a regular email from CarWow and logged in as curious to what currently out there. Quite a few new GTIs and GTI PPs available now (or within 2 weeks) on there if you're flexable on spec n colour. I bought mine via there site, then local dealer, a few months back and can't fault this way of doing it.

Has anyone who ordered in July had their build week confirmed yet?

These delays are affecting Audi too. I got a call today to say that if I wanted to order a new one that I should know that the S3 isn’t available to order until January.  :laugh:

It’s the extent to which it’s affecting VAG which amazes me. The fact you can’t even order it is crazy!
