Ordered late May 2005 and delivered early August 2005. I tried to collect from Wolfsburg but the bureacracy and paperwork was beyond ridiculous!

Yes!! A RHD Throbbin' Red one! :smiley:..............

Ordered mid October 07, ready mid January... pretty much what they suggested - 10-12 weeks at the time, but I'd guess that fewer people buy a car in mid winter, so perhaps the waiting list will grow again.

Ordered late December, confirmed delivery date of 1st March. Dealer said it's the quickest build date he's had... I'm assuming someone changed their order, releasing a car that already had a build date or something. Cars built and in transit. Dealer expects it in a week or two, but naturally I'm waiting for the new plates.

16 weeks and 5 days!

It was 16 weeks from order day til "the phone call" day to say it was on its way over, picked it up by the end of that week.

Calling it a painful wait would be an understatement!

Hey Grab...i put my order in for the R32 around the same time aswell but turns out in december the VW Factory is closed (not sure if this is 100% true) so the orders wouldnt have gone thru untill jan...i am expecting Mid March/Begining April...have you got a build date for your car yet?

Nothing yet - what about you?

Nothing yet either :(....Dealer told me i should get one any time soon so....just trying to wait patientley :) The wait will deffinatley be well worth it...
