People are saying 3-4 weeks. I'd think in terms of 4 weeks so you're not too disappointed.

Mine's 4 weeks from build week, but I suspect the car has been sitting a week waiting on the salesman coming back from holiday.

If you allow 4 weeks, anything sooner is a bonus - will all depend on shipping schedules, I think some people have had the car within a couple of weeks of the build date as they managed to catch the shipping schedule right.

it should be 2-4 weeks from production to dealer.

my dealer updates me on a weekly basis, if he doesn't he gets a little nagging email reminding him to, it doesn't push it along but at least i am up to date & i am keeping all the emails on file. i have now taken to logging it in my signature to see the progress.

That's great - thanks for this info.

hi.

just ordered mine 2 days ago. Was told an estimated delivery date of 7th decemeber. Is it worthwhile getting regular updates from dealer, i'm presuming they dont have a say in build date, etc.

like 100 days, heavy gutted , anyone fancy smacking me with a baseball bat to put me in a coma for like 15weeks?

now don't go & do that alo6!! we're hear to satisfy the scirocco cravings!!

it can be handy to have a good dialogue going with your dealer while you're waiting then if you have problems you should be able to lean on them abit more than if you had only spoken to them on order placement.

Ordered my Rising Blue 2.0 TSI DSG on 17th August. Build date is week 38.
Dealers thinks it should be down here in South Africa by the end of October.... this is going to be the longest 2 months of my life

Try having to wait the best part of 5 months

I've ordered my back in July and my building date is 15/10/2009.
Here in Portugal the wait time always greater than 3 month... Usually it takes about 4-5 months to get the car.

Ordered 30th June. Build week 39 confirmed yesterday.

Ordered 28th July, had estimated build week of wk 39 for about 5 weeks......confirmed as week 39 yesterday So roll on mid-October!

Mines late Jan / early Feb

It's killing me already!

Ordered my roc at the end of July, dealer was able to amend a stock order from mid June and have been given a build date of week 38 (not confirmed yet though).

I ordered mine on June 9th from a leasing company. They originally estimated October 9th and are still estimating that - I really hope it makes it on time as it feels like I've been waiting forever! My leasing company also sends me weekly e-mail updates but it only has a status, which is 'confirmed build' but they can't tell me when that confirmed build date is. If it's not built in the next week or so though I guess the 9th October is not going to happen

hi mrp Welcome!!

i'm sure it will be built in the next few weeks, have faith! ask them straight out what build week its scheduled for! if they can't say try & get your commission number out of them (should be 6 digits) & ring vw customer service who should be able to tell you.

mine is currently unconfirmed build week 41 (1st week of oct) (order date in signature)

Thanks! I tried asking and they said they didn't know (or were too lazy to find out!). I'll check my paperwork for that reference number and see what they say - thanks for the advice

I've finally gotten a firm delivery date!!!!
Ordered 28th May (week 22). Originally build week 30, and then pushed back to week 34.
Told today that it's "on ship" and should be at the dealer on Friday.
So 15 weeks from order to delivery at dealer.

production frozen week 41 YAY!!

Ordered in June, with the dealer allocation all used up. Finaly it has now been ordered with VW with it being built in Oct with a delivery date of mid Nov!!

I ordered mine through Listers Nuneaton, and the service, support and comunication is first rate.

The only thing that is left to be decided is weather to go for a Revo stage one or the Niche conversion that was in last weeks Auto Express!!?
