alexgraham Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I ordered my GTI over 2 months ago and i still havent been given a build date for my car. I've heard that ordering 18's can lenghten the delivery time but i was interested in seeing what delivery times other people are getting. The stealer did initially tell me it would be 3-4 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEdward Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Know how you feel mate, i had put down a £1000 deposit and was being told it COULD be August time for build date, add on a couple of weeks or so, wait for delivery, etc, probably looking more like October; i thought sod that, rang around a few dealers, managed to claim a cancelled order and (fingers crossed) picking mine up next Saturday, you may not get exactly the same spec, or colour for that matter. I had ordered a 5dr Red, with only the Winter Pack, but picking up a Pearl Effect Black with Winter Pack, and that odd little Option called Electrically Folding Mirrors with Surrounding Light...i guess it depends how urgently you need your car. If you had negotiated a discount, please be aware with cancelled orders, you will probably get nothing off. I had to practically plead for him to throw in a tank of Optimax...

bfc1912 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Order mine on 15th Jan got a build date of week 16 around a month ago. Don't worry about not having a build date as it will only depress you when they confirm that your car wont arrive for another couple of months.

silentandy Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Mine has been put back from week 15 to week 21 now! Has anyone else had this happen to them? Seems odd if you ask me, my spec doesn't have DSG or 18's so would have thought I'd be getting it on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwbeetle11 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Ordered mine end of March, recieved phone call from dealer today telling me delivery in July. Met black, 18", Winter Pack & armrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
271270djr Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Sounds like it very much depends on the spec. I ordered mine end of Feb. and got it was delivered 8 April. Spec is 5door, manual, leather, 6 cd, multifunction steering wheel, highline comp., armrest, parking sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemod Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I ordered mine on 15th January and it started being built last week (week 15). Last I heard it was on checkpoint 6 out of 8. Ordered with DSG and 18". Mine was brought forward from week 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentandy Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Seems very much hit and miss then. My spec is 5 door, leather, xenons, highline, parking & mirrors. Stealer just changed one they already had on the system when I ordered mid Feb, would have thought that would have made it go through quicker not slower!

DSGboy Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Ordered my DSG GTI mid December and given a build date of week 14. Hopefully this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aswall Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Ordered mine mid Feb and had been given a delivery date of mid July. This week was called to tell me that production has not been keeping up with demand due to production line probs and that they are currently running 2 wks behind and therefore could be early Aug for mine (DSG and most options). Just means I will hold on to my soft top for more of the summer so as long as it arrives by end of Sept then not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheds Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I ordered mine on 4 Dec and took delivery on 15 April. Red, 18",armrest, 6 cd, leather. Well worth the wait. Dealer said at the time they are no longer giving any discounts at all, and if you ordered now you would have to wait till Sept at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixit Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Ordered mine on March 30th... so any guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yahoo Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Ordered mine on Jan 30th. Order has just been locked for manufacture in week 17. Including 1 week manufacture and 2 weeks shipping, should be taken reciept of it in mid May. I was initially warned that it could be July because of my extras (DSG, leather, Paddles & 18" wheels). Whatever the problem was with DSG & 18" wheels, it seems that some are finally filtering through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTiMK5 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I ordered mine in mid december, 3 door red with 18s. Was told mar delivery but at end of march was quoted that it would be may. Hunted around and found a silver 3 door with leather and 18s and took delivery within 5 days. Worked out good for me cos I think silver looks better and the leather imo is better than the cloth.

EthanAllenCord Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 My GTI was ordered mid-February, and I've recently been given the build week as week 20 (16th-22nd May). So hopefully I should have it by early/mid June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTI05 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I ordered my GTI 17th January and it was built week 13. The delivery date is next Monday.. this is going to be a long weekend for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbogee Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 My son and I ordered one each on 22nd January; one black 3-door, DSG, paddles, enhanced sound, and one silver 5-door, DSG, paddles. We were given week 15 as build date. His arrived at stealer on Tuesday and was in his sweaty hands yesterday. Mine arrived yesterday and should be on the streets on Monday - DVLA willing. We got about £1,100 discount on each after taking a quote from Carfile to our local stealer. There seem to be plenty of leather upholstered cars in showrooms, but that's not much help if you want cloth. Roll on Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_1 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Went to order one last week, got offered a £500 discount from my local dealer as I have purchased from them before - I called around other dealers who didn't offer a penny off. Anyway decided not to wait the 12-18 weeks and opted to get the only 5 door pearl black with Leather I could find. Oh and pay the extra £500 but I get it on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

century_one Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Been to a local dealer today and when I asked about delivery times the sales person said 6 months minimum. And when I asked about any discount he laughed with his colleagues and said forget it!!! Sorry VW but you have lost the chance of a £25k sale. A3 it is then!!!

The fact that you can't get discount and instant delivery on a GTI, but you can on a Volvo... sorry Audi A3 is no coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
