Clubsport order thread

[RoryB]

Ordered in June 21, was given B/W 26 back in February, that was remove a couple of weeks later, got an update yesterday, scheduled B/W 17, dealer told me that is it locked in, not sure if I should get my hopes up.
Moonstone, DCC, Pan Roof, Reverse Cam and Adelaides

Looks like week 17 is actually happening... Word today from the dealer, still scheduled for week 17, which is next week..... We will see

Have heard anything else yet? I ordered mine in June last year too and was told I was locked in on BW 17 a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard anything more since.

Sales guy I've been dealing with is out in leave for a couple of weeks, so haven't heard anything from him, but talked to another guy and he's saying still showing as week 17 on the system but still showing as Scheduled, hard to get a straight answer from him, claiming it's in production and to expect it to arrive within 4 weeks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

One whole year to the day that i ordered my Clubsport. With the latest update from the dealer telling me that they can't give me a confirmed build week.
Happy 1 year anniversary of no car to me!  let's just hope I don't have a 2 year, no car anniversary. I'm getting pretty fed up of waiting, as I know everyone else is. The number of times I thought of cancelling my order but I want the car I ordered and don't want to cancel after all of this time.....

Same here. Car ordered middle of 2021, supposed to be built in May (2022). Chased up the dealer and just been told build is now scheduled for October but is highly likely to be extended yet again. Waited over a year and not complained, not waiting another 5-6 months at least just to be told the same again. I've cancelled the order today, I've had enough now. They weren't even bothered.

They know they can sell that order to someone else for more money than you paid. If I had my tin foil on I'd say they don't want to deliver cars to people that will pay much less than they could be selling them for now.

Exactly, especially if they gave you a guaranteed px value for trade in when the order was placed. I suspect my dealer was ‘happy’ when I cancelled, they would have lost thousands on the guaranteed px as deal was done near the peak of used car prices

I’ve been offered a week 43 build car today.. presumably a cancelled order

Was there any talk of discounts or were they after full list price for it?

Given that BMW and Merc both have closed order books, its not a uniquely VW problem it seems.

Out of interest, what do you plan to do now?

I've gone for a Scirocco R. 16,280 miles on the clock and mint condition with two years manufacturer warranty. Shame to cancel but there you go. At least I'll have a nice car for the next 18 months-two years. Plus it will feel unbelievable compared to the 2009 Peugeot 206 it will be replacing which struggles to get up the slightest hill

Ohhh I like your thinking!   
Definitely a step in the right direction compared to the Pug. No wonder the wait for the Clubby was too much when that’s taken into consideration.

Anyway, welcome Jake and hopefully not a goodbye too
