Just had a call to say that mine (base spec, black) has arrived at the dealers. Won’t be collecting until the end of the month as got to sell my transporter privately first. But going to pop in for a look after work today!

I had my black delivered on Monday. Dude... This car looks next level in person. Real head turner, you will enjoy

First stop will be ceramic coating (not by the dealers) and change the wheels

My dealer emailed today to say that production of my car (base GTI in Moonstone) had been completed on 5th September as scheduled. It then arrived at Emden on 11th September. Anybodys guess as to how long it will sit there...

As it is a stock car that they had already ordered, I suggest you perhaps ask your dealer to source a different one, which dealer was it? Something doesn’t add up, as it was at status 38 if I remember correctly!? 38 is ‘released to shipping’ , as I understand it this wouldn’t have happened unless it had a ship to go on. 🤔

Thats exactly what i thought too but all i ever get from them is "its status 38 awaiting to be shipped and should be with us shortly" it was Marshalls Volkswagen
