Ordered my 5dr MT GTI on 21st Nov. no build week yet. my dealer says the status is ordered. he says the computer says it'll be a May 5 delivery but that doesn't really mean anything. could be sooner or later. he blames the gov tax breaks on new car sales at the end of the year doubling the usual number of orders during nov and dec. and he mentioned something about Australia being only allocated 30 cars a month.
Hi Guys, had some more issues regarding delivery date of my GTI. Car has been allocated week 10 build. ( car was ordered last week nov) and dealer has told me I should recieve car in mid June. The annoying thing about this is the dealer continuously makes out that he has done us a favour and we are priveledged to be recieving the car. I know I am priveledged to be recieving the car but a dealer doesnt need to tell me that. anyways we asked if we could change to a leather option and was advised it was too late. is this true considering the build date?

Just cancel the order mate, I did... Im sick of VWA and their buill**** lies
is it true that most buyers have been given false promises? i purchased 2 weeks ago and i was given the deadline at May. Seeing i desperately need a car for work... is it most liekly to be delayed like 2 months!? which makes it July?

No chance of a May delivery - My mate at Sth yarra VW has been told there has been a 6-8 week delay, on top of the already quoted 4mth wait... Load of crap
I think that the demand for the GTI, and Golf in general, has far out-numbered estimates. So at this point it seems that the dealers really can't give accurate delivery dates as the manufacturing is so overwhelmed.
To anyone that doesn't have a 'dead-line' to get the car by, then just be patient, it'll get here. To those who do have a dead-line, maybe you should be reconsidering your options.
I ordered mine in November and was told recently by the dealer that it is already sitting at a port in German awaiting shipment. It will take another month or two to get here in Australia. I am surprise that it is taking so long to ship.
I doubt it mate.. i added satnav like 2 wks before lol I guess thats easier to fit than leather but still.. you have ages!
Satnav can be retro-fitted by the dealer where as leather includes heated seats and electonic controls for the driver and as such will not be able to be retro-fitted.
i've ordered about 2 weeks ago. i havent got a commission number yet.. .should i be hassling for it? and i thought i need another number to online tracking. how come the dealer said he will only give me a COMM number?

Just wait it out.
Unless you have a deadline that you need the car for there is no point.
The dealer will only get the vin number when the car is ready to be built which you can then use to track your car.
Hassling them about it won't make the car get built any quicker, there is a massive undersupply of cars and so many on order that waiting times are out to at least 4-5 months now.
