When I bought my vrs from a dealer in Melbourne his prediction was that Skoda would be outselling vw in Aus in 5 years.
That dealer closed 6 months later.

And we all believe Santa is real! That dealer was dreaming.

Wow! What did you order again?

I've sold my Golf, so car less now. Thankfully I can get by till Wednesday with no car. I have the kids in the bike trailer in the interim.

Tomorrow is d-day for my dealer.[emoji95] If he doesn't come up with a car for me through his dodgy deal, I'm cancelling my order....

My signature didn't appear somehow:
Ordered (Mid-sept 2014): Metal grey Octavia RS TSI hatch (MY15) | DSG |18" black pack | sunroof | tech pack | comfort pack

yeah I was told delivery around March-April.
Today they told me provisional week 16.. + 10 weeks for shipping, meaning around early July.. then it would be close to ..10 months!?!

I hope your dealer can really do some magic..

Hey parisfrance,

Ordered with 19" black pack, sunroof and tech pack. Also, wanted it in red which seemed to be a drama. There was a lot of confusion about whether the vRS was available in red at all!!

I wanted a Red TDI RS wagon, after being disappointed in the blandness of the candy white. Was told I couldn t have it in Red. Looked at the specs. and there was only 0.4 sec difference in the 0-100 times between the diesels and bought a Red Elegance TDI of the floor. Would have lost patience waiting 6 months for a delivery anyway.

OK, so, I have been given a build week (49 day 4) and a VIN number!!!!!! ;whoooohooo. Ordered Oct 14, Dec 8 build date with VIN number. Maybe I'll get it Feb or March 15!!! The dealer ordered their own car 2 months before mine and STILL haven't got a build week.... hahaha. LOOKS LIKE I FLUKED IT..

OK I'm jealous... our order is very similar but the sunroof.. .I'm starting to think it may be because of the sunroof!

[GTR27]

Might be. I ordered a sunroof, and my ambition plus is over 7 months..... Hopefully get it by Friday/sat. Assuming these bloody storms don't ruin it!

Have they given a firm date yet GTR?

Not yet. Still waiting on Patrick's to deliver car to the dealer. It showed as 'despatched' yesterday morning, but hadn't arrived as of yesterday arvo. Considering Brisbane to the GC is a 1-1.5hr drive, that's a hell of a detour it's made..... Fingers crossed the storms didn't get it while in transit.....

Dealer has been great, but man no one had any sense of urgency. Considering the car was released and requested last Thursday, that's a pretty piss poor turn around for such a short distance. I really need the invoice (supplied when car arrives at dealer and details confirmed) today in order to give the bank a chance to process the loan and pay it, so I could collect Saturday.... In other words, I'm not confident of collecting it this week, so yet another week rolls by, without the car, that's been in country for a month now.

These c*nts couldn't organise a root in a brothel....


Edit: so dealer had been excellent and chasing it, but everyone else is really dragging the chain....

More rain and storms predicted for Thurs/Fri and Sat too. I'd be making sure GCS have it under cover, given Murwullimbah copped tennis ball sized hail yesterday arvo!!!

[GTR27]

Gcs have confirmed they have the car now, woohoo! Fingers crossed it gets pdi'd asap, so I can pick it up Friday instead of Saturday, and tuck it away at home, safe from storms. I really need about 2 days to detail/protect the car and fit all the accessories we have for it. I really want the dashcam going before we drive it too much.

[Gerrycan]

I am guessing that GTR might possibly be aware of impending weather and may even have suggested the same to GCS.

Does your nomenclature (or is it 'nom de plume') offer some atmospheric influence up there? GTR needs it, if only for his sanity.

Edit: I was not quick enough, GTRs got it covered.

Nearly on the home stretch now!

Thanks everyone. It's certainly been a long, long, long journey! Yes, aware of storms, hence why I've been pushing so hard to get the car. It's the only way I can guarantee that it won't get damaged by storms.
