Re: New GTI + delivery
Vw is handling this situation very badly. Why advertise car which they cant deliver within half of the year. Peoples are getting mad

Re: New GTI + delivery
That is utterly ridiculous, waiting over 8 months and no build date. VW don’t deserve to sell cars. I am annoyed about my order, but a January order with still no build date is inexcusable.
What does the dealer have to say?

Re: New GTI + delivery
That is appalling, there appears to be no logic comparing order dates, build dates and delivery time

Re: New GTI + delivery
Did your dealer even order it?
Most NZ dealers who ordered in January have all had their demo stock delivered June. I ordered Mid June a GTI with extras and have been confirmed by my dealer and VW NZ that delivery will be Late October.
4 Months,

Re: New GTI + delivery
I ordered 3rd week of january and still no build date. I do wonder that if the order is loaded with a high level of extras it's delaying the build.
As time goes on I'm not sure I want to be rewarding VW with my money for what is utter incompetence! (benny hill look to camera)
I have thought about the new mini cooper S works or even the upcoming audi S1 for next year.

Re: New GTI + delivery
If you do go for a Mini, don't buy a new one. A Cooper S was up for contention with us and I was shocked at how poor the residuals were - £27k RRP examples selling for £14k at 13/14 months old at franchised dealers. A bargain for nearly new buyers, but those who chopped in one bought new even with a good discount (£4k discounts seemed easy to come by) will have lost a fortune.johnpolo2 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 5:42 am I ordered 3rd week of january and still no build date.

I hated the offset of the pedals - 1/2 an hour test drive and I couldn't get comfortable.
Re: New GTI + delivery
the dealer thought it maybe the upgraded alloys. He looked at all the orders and cannot find any logic in order and build dates. My golf was on a PCP and has nothing back. The garage are lending me a car until mine arrives.

Re: New GTI + delivery
You are not alone.
Just had an email from my dealer friend , he is out of head about supply.
He has...
10 UP Gtis. No build date
1 T Roc in stock
7 petrol golfs possibly due
7 various diesels in stock which nobody wants
1 Toureg in stock
1 Touran in stock
No Passats
No GTEs of any kind in stock
No Manual gearbox Golf R, Golf Gti or Gtd
So he says 70 cars no build date or next year delivery.
I will not repeat the words he used to describe the situation ( especially with September 1st coming up) but he is not happy, the customers are not happy but VW seem to think customers would and should wait!!

Re: New GTI + delivery
With September 1st Looming, If you look at the VW UK Website, it feels like VW are cutting it fine with WLTP requirements..
If you look at the WLTP page: https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/wltp
As I write, only a selection of Up, Toureg and T-Roc models are WLTP harmonized.
Taking the example of the T-Roc and looking "at the pricelist for further details", in the list of models, only WLTP compliant orderable derivative listed car is the 1.6 diesel with a note saying that all other models (1.0 TSI. 1.5 TSI Evo, 2.0TSI and 2.0 TDI) models "may no longer be available to order, or may only be available from stock and not available to factory order."
Although Polos are not in the WLTP list, I'm aware that people on this forum have build dates. Just hope that VW are further forward with WLTP than their Webpage implies!

Re: New GTI + delivery
My dealer says he has a Polo gti on order with a build date, but it seems it is theoretical as it keeps moving further away in time every time he checks.

Re: New GTI + delivery
I read on one of the Golf forums earlier this week that a factory order for some models of Golf is now 30 weeks. Until recently, it was 12-14 weeks. WLTP will almost certainly be a significant factor in the increased waiting time.
It’s not just VW having WLTP issues - it’s affecting other manufacturers too; I recently read that it’s affecting Honda waiting times. WLTP Implementation within some motor manufacturers does a seem to have been poorly managed.

Maybe WLTP means...
Waiting aLot of Time for Production?

Re: New GTI + delivery
I’m shocked you haven’t cancelled your orders!
I ordered a polo GTI+ in January. I cancelled in May. I ordered the new ST3 and from order to collection was 7 weeks!! And that car was released after the polo. The polo still says no build date even now.
Actually thank you for being so rubbish VW cause this new ST is brilliant! And so glad I didn’t get the DSG polo now
