Bit weird how some are coming faster than others, doesnt seem to be any reason for it. Ireland should be same as UK regs, RHD etc.

Its always been like this. I've never waited more than 3-4 months for a new VW, this car was probably the longest. I assume its down to regional allocations, dealer allocations, etc.

Same here, in Ireland, after seeing lead times on here I expected it would be next year, ordered end of June, told me to expect early October delivery, so I have asked them to hold it until January to get new plate. Got 0% pcp and keeping same trade in value on my 2015 GTD.

I thought about doing the same (wait till Jan), but I'm too impatient. Life is way too short and with the 0% and decent discount I got, I said to hell with that, take it now.

Also, you'd want to be careful you don't get caught for price hikes on the new car if you wait. There's another €900 price rise imminent I believe and then there's VRT which the dealer will have no control over. Its possible that they will hike it up in the budget, given the Green Party's hatred of cars... we'll know more in January I suppose!

Anyway, picking this up tomorrow

If the expected delivery is early October they must know it’s on the way? I’m in Ireland, ordered early June and got a build of week 44 at the moment. They are trying to increase the price if it’s Jan delivery though which does not sit well with me.

If I was from the uk I wouldn’t get too jealous about the shorter wait we have. They cost a lot more here.

Had a chat with VW customer services yesterday to see why my car was being pushed back and back. According to them it was originally delayed because of the wheels (black Estorils) but that's fine now, however the new delay is the fabric (standard CS interior). Customer services suggested I try a different fabric like I was ordering a sofa from John Lewis...

Just been informed by VW customer services my build has been pushed back to June 2022

Yes, June

That will be 14 months

Was told BW 4 last week.

Just cancelled

I’m not playing the game anymore, sticking with my low mileage reliable 7.5 GTI PP till all this blows over

Within minutes of cancelling via email I’ve had a thorough apology email from the Head of business at my VW dealership, although I imagine it’s a well used template email lately

They worked in the MY22 price increase when I ordered. If VRT goes up, I'll just have to stomach it and hopefully it will be reflected in the value after 3 years
