GOLF GTI delivery dates

[xblode]

Very interesting!

Too late now though. Only options I would have gone for were leather and sunroof.

I'll be redoing the interior to leather at the end of the year for about the same dollars as the factory option so only lose the heating aspect. Not worried about the elec adjusting either

From what i was told by my accountant and the dealer, and from the ATO website, though i cant be bothered diggint it up, as long as the item is ordered before 31 december and a "significant" deposit paid, (dealer - $2,000) and delivery taken by the end of 201 then you are eligible for the bonius, which on a $50k car is about $7000 off your tax bill at the end of the tax year.

No GTI's in Aus

There is this one http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...t=gti&trecs=54

Is a Demo

Re delivery times, yes, it's been stated in some other threads that the first build week for '10 isn't for another 3-4 weeks, with an estimated delivery of mid April-ish for those cars. People who ordered in Dec most likely have this schedule.

I ordered a candy white GTI five door with DSG on 31 December (also thanks to Mr Rudd), the car had a week 1 2010 build. I checked with the dealer this week and he said that it has been built and is in transit somewhere in Germany (? I think) and should be on a ship sometime next week. I would hope that the dealer would not be telling me porkys, because I have a lease that is coming to an end in late Feb (not I am expecting the car by then).

Good luck GTI's apparently were built week 51 2009 and next lot is week 6 2010. chances are you are a 2009 build.

I ordered my GTI today and was told to expect a June delivery, seems the wait is around 5 months currently.

Did the "factory resumes builds in week 6" thing come from a single dealer and take on a life of its own from there to become indisputable internet fact, or are there 3+ dealers saying that?

When I ordered my GTI last weekend, I brought up the week 6 thing with the sales manager and he said that that story was bullsh*t. He said he had GTI's being built last week and next week.

All I know is car salesmen didn't earn the reputation they have for nothing...

At seems a few people who've purchased from a few different dealers (even different states) have said this...

Although I was originally quoted week 6 for my car, it turned out that it was actually built in week 2, so production was well underway throughout Jan. She's currently sitting on a cargo ship making its way to Southhampton UK

Note this was for an order placed in November (2nd day after launch).

That is a long time, but thats for a spec'd car my local dealer has a CG and Black model on the lot for sale of mk6 GTIs, not sure about mk5s I'm sure there are they did have one local (3 dr with leather) not sure if they still have it, and arent there brand new R32s in stock still?

[iBoost]

Yeah not much you can do, I am not aware of any CW with 18s around. The dealer was honest and said June was worst case scenario, so I may be lucky and have it come earlier. I'd rather know worst case than get my hopes up and be disappointed.

Hi all.

I placed an order for red mk6 in wk2 of Nov - only factory options were ACC/MDI. Was told early April delivery. Now been told 29 April at earliest....

[obiwan]

Ah you guys, I got mine in red in 4 days. Just settled for standard, only added tinted windows and bluetooth. Test drove demo car Sat 12th Dec, ordered car same day, got my new car from the warehouse on Wed 16th Dec. They said any other options, had till wait till at least April, so I thought f*** it, this saves me money and I get it straight away.
