I'm Roxy, and in May this year I bought a VW Polo 77TSI. Not only is this my first VW, it's my first car! I'm 24, but never bothered to get my license until 2 years ago, as the usual poverty that accompanies uni and living abroad meant I couldn't have afforded a car even if I could have legally driven one! However, since I moved back to my home town, having a car has become a nessecity, and the security of a nice steady '9 to 5' means I can finally afford one too! Sadly though, I'm still waiting for the delivery of my Polo. I was told to expect delays of around 3, but up to 4 months on "made to order" factory cars (ie; not off the showroom floor), but at this stage it's looking more like 5 or more, as the latest ETA is late October. No point being a diva about it, as nothing can be done (not that I'm aware of, anyway), but its very frustrating! If anyone else has had or is having a similar issue of delivery delays, I'd like to know! Might make me feel a bit better!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

There's a few people waiting for cars. All different types.
As you said dont think there is much you can do about it. Hold in there, VWs are a great car! -
Welcome to the Forum Roxy. I can relate to your new car wait and the anticipation, as I 'suffered' similarly on a Subaru a few years back...whilst doing the deal on 28th Dec. the car got 'delayed' right up until it's delivery on 31st March.....longest wait of my life...at the time

It is hard waiting but there isn't really anything that can be done.
I had a go in the polo at the VW Driver day and they are a fun little car to fang around.
Hopefully you get a nice surpriuse and it turns up earlier that expected.
I found the dates were generally overinflated to make sure the custmer wasn't angry when they expected their car and it wasn't ready.Comment

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it
