Motorprovider Week 30 build slots

[acwats]

mine ordered early Feb is "ready to collect from Holland on Wednesday".

Might have it by Christmas

acwats did you find that out from MP or did you get in touch with Van mossel in holland ?

I wish I had shares in Van Mossel , that's who Simpledeal get their GTI's from. They must be making a fortune.

From MP - I've never made contact with van mossel  - too many garages and not sure which one's got my car.
Not sure how "ready to collect" turns into a date for me to collect but  sounds more positive than the usual apology

Well you've got more info that I .  Spoke and e-mailed  MP on Fri and thought I'd try the... '' he who shouts loudest'' tactic but unfortunetly they came back with '' we can always refund your deposit Sir '' line.   They know cancelling and re-ordering is not an option due to the wait and you cant get it any cheaper elsewhere so I'll have to resign myself to waiting for there call.  Its just bloody frustrating !!!!

Saying that all this waiting has confirmed to me that reflex silver with 18''monza's and leather is the dogs bo##oks and WILL look sensational !! .....(when it arrives).

I was told 2 weeks ago that my car was going to be build week 39, so decided that enough was enough and cancelled my order.  I decided that I'd rather give someone else my business.  So I went and found myself a UK car, 8 weeks old, less than 400 miles on the clock and a higher spec than I had on order for a £1k more than MP price.  Very happy with my purchase and very happy to not have to deal with Motorprovider again.

Best of luck to anyone still waiting....

Really sorry to hear about your nightmare acwats.... if you ordered in February and it STILL hasn't arrived.. sounds like someone, somewhere f***ed-up big time. I wouldn't be surprised if your order somehow got put to the bottom of the pile.
I ordered mine in early June and was told it would take 16 weeks (which works out to be this week)... and have just been told that it is in transit to UK now, so should have it in 1-2 weeks. 

How can a car ordered in June arrive earlier than one ordered in Feb??? ...mine's a basic GTi with a few goodies on it.. if you ordered DSG, maybe there's a shortage of the DSG gearboxes, and they are giving priority to dealers??
Either way.. good luck.

Thanks Matt22,

I'm not sure I'll ever understand what has really happened but as I understand it....

It all goes back to the issue where VW refused to produce RHD cares for the dutch dealer.
Right through June my car was weeks away,then the letter to everybody explaining that it had taken the threat of legal action to get VW to build the cars. This was the worst bit and I think MP were taken by suprise. I assume

This reset all the orders and we were given a build time of Week 30 (hence the title of this thread). There was no priority given to those who ordered early it seems!

I struggle to believe that my car was built that week but MP tell me it was (so not a DSG issue). They seem to have no control over the dealer responsible for PDI and there is a comment on this thread about an alternative dealer being used which I have not heard before.

I hope my car was lifted out of Holland today but I haven't had a call....

Got a 'Progress report' e-mail off of MP Yesterday saying the car's gonna be another 2 or 3 weeks
