5 month wait

[SteveP]

Mine was also originally quoted as 10-12 weeks and took the full 12 to arrive.

However it can sometimes depend on the options you have selected, when ordering a Passat B6 (company car) around 3 years ago adding the MFSW increased the waiting from 10-12 to 18-20 weeks, normally the dealer (or lease company as it was in this case) should tell you this after the order was placed on the VW systems.

Well my exact order is- 3 door diamond black with DVD(£1400), sunroof, cruise, armrest, ext pack, winter pack and maybe few other bits and bobs.
hanks for all the info- i will definitely try and get some dates out of them!

Maybe the 12 - 16 week wait is still what they're quoting.

Isn't a Pirelli prepared by VW Individual like the ED30 was? I know my dealer is actually using another dealer's built slot for me to get mine because they had used all their 3 Pirelli build slots at that time. So maybe thats why I seem to have had slightly less of a wait compared to if i had ordered a regular GTI?

I am 100% certain that your dealer will have a build date by now and should have passsed it on to you or at the very least get them to explain why they have not give you one. a build date that is

That sounds just like my spec, except mine was 5 door. Diamond black, Winter pack, luxury pack, RNS510, DSG, arm rest, MFSW, 6 cd changer.

Good luck

I would have thought they would be easier to source these days, when I was looking there was plenty of new cars in be stock for near immediate delivery

i ordered mine around the same time from listers cov too. i had a phone call two weeks ago to tell me that it will be built on the 2nd week of september then it has to come over here etc. so im expecting it the end of this month.
i ordered a standard red gti with arm rest and ipod dock

i ordered mine ED30 on the 17th July ,because all the extras i ordered,was told that it will arrive in 10-12 weeks ,cant wait till the car arrives 

[gtewary]

hmmm...looks like all the extras I ordered are partly to blame. Be interested to know whom you dealt with at Lister's in Coventry- was it Tasha?

We waited six months. We originally wanted an .:R32 but after being told the waiting list was a year and a half we said no thanks and got the gti 6 months later. Full house.

The wait is what makes the car even more special. Its like the design feauture in the boot that showers you upon opening once it has rained....
