A Bunch Of Merged "My New Car / Order" Threads

If you signed a contract agreeing to a price knowing how old the car was then you don't really have very good grounds to pull out out of the deal now.

I would ask for an oil change before delivery, as according to the book the oil should be changed every 15,000km or 12 months, whichever is sooner, so according to VW germany it is now due for an oil change (even if it has only done 25km).

I'd also keep an eye on how quickly the starter motor turns over the engine in case the battery wasn't kept charged up while it was sitting around. But even if it needs a new battery that will be replaced under warranty, so nothing to worry about there.

White looks so damn nice! Esp with those 18's. I love my black MK5 but I think it's gonna have to be white when I (eventually) get a MK6.

Ahoy!

It looks there is no delay for my GTI.

We went to our dealer this afternoon to chase up our GTI order. The computer shows the car is on a ship and will arrive at Port KEMBLA on 25/02/10.

We ordered the car on 10/11/09. The system shows the order was entered on 11/11/09. The car was built on 05/01/10 (2nd day of 1st week, 2010).

I can not scan the paperwork for now. Here is the tracking information I found on the tracking website.

There goes the theory of Australian GTIs being built starting in week 6 of 2010. The week 6 build theory must have being a salemans trick to entice buyers to sign on the dotted line before Christmas 09 I reckon.

That one always sounded a bit shaky to me.

I don't want to burst the bubbles of the guys waiting either, but the two cars of mine that I have tracked both gained time around Sth Africa only to lose it again between Freo/Melb/Sydney.

And, the worst pain of the wait hasn't even started yet, haha.

I ordered my GTI in begining of Dec and it seems it still hasn't been built yet. I've been quoted to expect it around begining to mid April..
