Motorprovider Week 30 build slots

[Matt22]

Cheers John... not really the reponse I was wanting to hear... but I'm not entirely surprised.
Especially when you see the expected wait on the MotorProvider website change from 14-16 weeks... to 14-20 weeks.

Hi there folks,

Been following this post with interest.  Emailed motorprovider yesterday and was told that they haven't even built mine yet!  So much for the week 30 build slot!  They are now predicting mine to be delivered 4th week of Sept.

Not a happy bunny! 

Hello,

I have been following the forum for a few months now and the MP related news but not posted on this thread. So hello!

Well, again a complete lack of proactive customer communication from MP with regard to my GTI but after a few emails I found out that my GTI (Ordered the end of Feb) will be arriving end of this friday of start of next week!! Then following 4 days of registration and prep it should be ready to pick up by next friday!!

If it happens then I will be well happy!!! But with all the rest of the horror stories I'm not so sure. Confidence not very high with MP just now.

Fingers crossed!

hlobban,

please keep us up to speed. Did you get the week 30 build letter?

I ordered mine 1st Feb but I've had no (positive) news see my posts above

one of three things has happened:

They have no control over the delivery sequence (almost cetain)
They have forgotton my order (unthinkable)
I might get a call tomorrow (dream on)

Sent an email to MP just checking on the status of my GTI and when I could pick it up they said not to book any tickets yet and that:

"Your car is in transit and not likely to be with us until next week after bank holiday."

"We will contact you once here and checked off"

So keeping everything crossed for that before I book my train tickets to sheffield to pick it up.

P.S. Yes I did get the 30 week build slot letter as well.

Decided to give MP a call yesterday to see exactly what was going on.  It turns out that I am one of a lucky four people that did not get their car built in the allocated week 30 build slot.  When asked for a reason they could not give me one!  I tried to get the komn number from them to contact VW direct, but they wouldn't hand it over.  So to be honest, I've still got no confidence that my car will arrive the end of Sept.  They did offer me a full refund, which I'm thinking of taking, but after waiting 5+ months, its hard to do.

Hello Harry

Welcome to the forum,

It sound as if you have been more fortunate than most on here by getting some good news.
as Acwats said please keep us updated.

I feel for Chris who's order has been missed,

I never thought buying a new car could be so problematic.

You never know we might get them this side of Christmas.

Would those who have ordered from MP in hindsight have gone to a VW dealer and paid the extra cash?

I will let you know when I get the car,

At the end of the day with MP you are saving thousands.

I guess that we are unfortunate with delays, earlier customers have had a pleasent transaction with cars delivered on time.

chris96 - what can I say - sorry to hear your news - what makes it worse is the refusal to issue a KOMNR, who did you speak to?
Do you know how to check with VW as I would like to try mine but can't find the right contact.

It 's a hard choice to make whether to pull out, it might be worth wiating a week to see if we get any any cars at all.
