jcuthell Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 jcuthellI know I was the first to enquire at my local dealer and I think I was the first to actually order but not sure as I was away and did it all by email - I had already paid them a 500 quid deposit in late March to reserve the right to order from within the first batch they were allocated (as I knew I would be away during this timeframe) and this happened on 26 June. Dealer hasnt told me what number I am but then I havent actually asked. He did bin the dealer order for a showroom model and put my order in instead (good bloke ) - So my order was in the system pretty quickly. Hope this helps - your dealer should give you a build week then just add 5-6 weeks to this date and that should be your delivery date. cheers BW Just spoke to dealer apparently mine is the first customer order but it hasn't got a build slot until late September so probably mid November delivery. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Welcome to Tyresmoke. Candy white sounds good, what alloys are you having with that, it should look stunning. Have a surf round the place and check out the LOJ Lounge of Joy and all the other areas. Plenty of places to get advice on anything from holidays to cars that we know and love. You might want to change your settings in User CP (top right) to the advanced editing and 40 posts per page, makes the place better to navigate round.

Bagwafu Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ordered: Candy White/Anthracite leather, DSG couple of weeks ago expcted Delivery Mid September. Hi Real Thing, just wondered how you managed to only order a couple of weeks ago and are looking at delivery mid Sept? I ordered mine as soon as I could in June, was the first to order from my dealer (he only got allocated 2 vehicles to sell initially) and my build is Week 41 which is 8 Oct - therfore I am looking at delivery early November. Just curious. Cheers BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers BW Got a friend in the Trade who was able to offer me one for Delivery 1st/2nd week September but had already been speced (Could Be Changed) but as this dealer was nearly 200 miles away I decided to ring round locally 1st local Dealer wasn't expecting any Customer Cars this Year 2nd Dealer I tried had a Build Slot for early September spec to customers choice Looks as if although VW may be keeping production numbers down that due to the Economy slowdown there aren’t as many people willing to spend on new cars (Scirocco) as they hoped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsales Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Found out today(not sure how much truth though) we only have an allocation of 4 Scirocco's to order this year(including 2 we already have!) So if all dealers are the same then build weeks will get further and further back as each dealer orders more cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcuthell Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I thought there were 3350 available this year that makes 12 a dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsales Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 The allocation from dealer to dealer varies! Bigger dealers in big cities get bigger allocation, we've only got one left to sell as I sold a Deep Black with black leather today! But that was an untagged stock vehicle! Not sure how exactly it works though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozzerfodder Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hi guys, well I took the plunge and placed a deposit against the Scirocco delivered to my local dealer last week. Its silver with black leather, DSG, NAV, Winter pack and parking sensors. I do the swap over on Friday. My beloved MKv is sat in the drive sulking now, its been a fantastic relationship but time to move on. I dunno how I will cope having owned the fastest car in the fastest colour on the road.......
