Ordered a new Tdi GT 170 today, and the dealer said there was one available awaiting dealer allocation which I could have - meaning it should be ready to pick up in 1-2 weeks?

So will this basically be a cancelled order / one sat at the port / in a showroom somewhere?

Obviously its not confirmed yet so not counting my chickens etc but was expecting a lot longer so pretty happy :)

I'm not sure if the fact that mine is a company lease car is the reason i've been lucky with the date. I have a feeling that VW finance (Inchcape) have a certain allocation of vehicles per month?? I could be way off the mark but i did manage to get my build date confirmed pretty quick (its being built this week).

Perhaps i have just been extremely fortunate. I ordered it from VW Cheltenham.

Keep on to your dealer for that build date. Good luck, hopefully not too much longer for you.

I ordered a TDi GT170 at the end of Feb and its now expected to arrive in July having first been told May. It turns out the delay is due to a GT spec change which apparently means I have managed to get leather seats and sat nav for free (or so the dealer tells me!)....

I`m very similar, ordered 21st of Feb and told the end of may, now I`ve got a confirmed build of week 23, the wait seems to go on and on! but at least I get a few extras for the wait.

Just missing all this great weather, would have been good to get out in a brand new scirocco in this!

Odd, I ordered mine on the 25th and have been told it's being built week 25. Then a further 6 weeks until I'm able to pick it up, so I'm just going to hold out for the September registration plate.

Dealer phoned on friday to tell me that my car was at "stage 80, which means it's about to be assigned a build date" Has anyone ever heard of this, or was it a classic dealer fob-off? Still looking like a July delivery :-(
Ordered week 15
Built week 29
Arrived in UK week 31
Driving week 32

Hello

Been reading these pages for a while and finally signed up. My build date is next week (week 25). Need to know if it's worth waiting for the September registration change or not?
