How to track the car you have ordered?

The last screenshot I saw for mine (on 21/06) showed dates for 1. Customer Contract Date, 2. Ordere Entry Dealer System, 3. Order Entry NADIN, 4. Order Registration IFA and 5. Buildability Check. From what I've seen on other members here, the next step which will occur is 7. Current SGW Determination, then 8. Allocation of Production Plant, then 6. SGW Rebooking and 9. Handover to Production will likely occur on the same day.
To be honest, I think that the expected build week comes from another area.
And also, from what I have seen, there is NO "final ETA" in individual orders. The dealers give ETAs based on experience and the progress of other orders which have been put in earlier and are further along through the process.
Maybe one of our resident dealers can expand on this?
As for finding another car... I seriously think that all this information is what causes so much stress to people on this site. Think about it, 5 years ago, you'd order a car, the dealer would say cya in 6 months, and that'd be the end of it. None of this tracking crap and no forums for everyone to upset each other over how quick or slow the progress is going

Some of these Japanese cars have even less combinations. Honda Civic Type R, 1 gear box, 1 spec level, 5 colours, for only 5 total combinations.
We've had this discussion several times in several threads, but it's a completely different situation when you have a car with several hundred thousand different configurations including at least 4 different chassis/shells (3 dr / 5dr and fwd / awd).

According to my VIN, my car was loaded onto the Torino last night. Next stop Belgium, France, UK, South Africa x3 then Fremantle!
Interstingly, the dealer told me the car was on the Australind. Hope he got the VIN right!2010 MY11 Mk VI Golf GTI [5Dr|DSG|Carbon Steel|MDI|Bluetooth|Street Legal Tint]

But be nice, the dealer may not even have it yet, as sometimes it can take several weeks to get through quarantine and compliance etc.MK6 GTI 3 Door - Candy White - DSG - Sunroof - 18" Detroit - ACC - PA - RC - MDI - BT - RNS510.

Originally posted by coreying View PostLol... I hope you have it written in the contract that you can cancel and receive a refund on your deposit if they miss the delviery date... because most contracts dont
Sorry for being so negative, Im just over the whole waiting game. And I know for the fact the car has been in Melbourne for over 3 weeks now.
I have contacted the dealer numerous times for an update and I have nothing. I need to organise the last stage of my finance and insurance for the car still, but I cant at the moment since im getting nothing from the dealer.MK6 GTI 3 Door - Candy White - DSG - Sunroof - 18" Detroit - ACC - PA - RC - MDI - BT - RNS510.

Your dealer is slack for not even touching base with you, but yeah, it's not within the dealers control when the car will be delivered. Shipping companies, customs, compliance, delivery companies, even THE WEATHER can delay the delivery of your car. Obviously a dealer cannot be held responsible for the weather. So most contracts do not give you an out, just because they've missed the "estimated delivery date". If it blew out by 2 months, and you wanted/needed to get out, I'm sure there would be avenues you can take - but not if it just misses the estimation by a week or so.
Btw - if you _really_ wanted an R, you should just talk to your dealer. Several people who have had GTI's on order have changed to an R whilst the GTI was already on the way. Depending on the GTI you've ordered and the dealer (and I guess your relationship with the dealer), many would be happy to be taking more money from you!
Having said that, if you are already over the waiting game, I'm not sure what good changing to an R and having to wait until end of November (at the earliest) will do!

GTI is fine and a great car. As I said I am so sick of waiting and hearing nothing from the dealer.
They were in constant communication with me before and during the purchase process. After I paid the deposit. I have only been called up once with the VIN number to track it. Everything else has gone on deaf ears.MK6 GTI 3 Door - Candy White - DSG - Sunroof - 18" Detroit - ACC - PA - RC - MDI - BT - RNS510.

What I find even more infuriating is the fact that I am on the phones and email for my work (as most people are), and I always get back to people the day they call me or email me. Even if I cant talk to them right away, I will always call back and let them know I will be contacting them on X date and actually make time to do it. Its not bloody hard.MK6 GTI 3 Door - Candy White - DSG - Sunroof - 18" Detroit - ACC - PA - RC - MDI - BT - RNS510.
