Stage 7 text received this morning. :hyper: Car at dealers.

9 and a half weeks from order placed until arrived at dealer.

Ordered 4/8/15
Built and left factory 18/9/15
Left Setubal on City of Paris ship 26/9/15
Arrived at Tyne port 2/10/15
Arrived at dealer 9/10/15

I'm having it delivered on Wednesday 13/10 as the dealership is just over 100 miles away and I need to get time off work.

I have sold My Polo. I put it up on Gumtree and 2 hours later I had an email. Few days later they came for test drive and bought it. It's in excellent condition. I've looked after this car like a child. :nod:

Wednesday can't come soon enough!!! :hyper:

That's not going to be far off the mileage I'll be doing... I live in a city, my travelling is done within it as I don't normally have to travel outwith the city.

Will hit Halfords for a few things this weekend for the new car. I have loads of detailing stuff already but can never have enough ;)

Never tried the machine polishing before! I'll wash and wax the car and a few other bits and bobs and post some pics. Glad you're enjoying your roc, it certainly looks the part :yes:

Getting a confirmed build week normally takes a couple of weeks. If you call customer services they will be able to give you an unconfirmed date.

Took two weks for me. My build now confirmed as week commencing 2 November and I assume they probably do runs of Scirocco's every few weeks rather than on a continual basis?

Looking at 4-6 weeks max! Think mine was 3 or 4 weeks until I picked her up

Why put it off until 2016?

With regards to your question about how long until you get the car, as Wazza said you're talking around 4 weeks or so.

I have copied and pasted my experience

Ordered 4/8/15
Built and left factory 18/9/15
Left Setubal on City of Paris ship 26/9/15
Arrived at Tyne port 2/10/15
Arrived at dealer 9/10/15
