Delivery for mine is Monday @ 4pm at Barloworld Glen Waverley.....
It's going to be a LO-NG weekend!!!!
Anybody else got a delivery that day?
Wonder what plates we're up to....
This hailstorm was one hell of a way to get rid of the bad plates I had before (XMA). Sounded like a skin condition lol!

Nic - and ironically enough, it too was riddled with lumps and bumps...

ETA's affected by options ordered?

G'day,
I ordered my GTI last week and have just found out delivery ETA is June, which compared to some of the ETA's seems pretty good. Does anyone know if its true, that by ordering more options such as sunroof, park assist etc the ETA is actually longer?

I've ordered fairly basic, candy White, leather, 18" detroits.....once I heard the ETA, I asked the dealer to add a few extras as by then, I'll a have little more cash. His response was that the ETA would then be Aug/Sept. Does this sound right?

I wish I'd studied this forum more closely before ordering though! Heaps of useful info here....

Thanks

Yes, ordering more options can delay the build time. The reason is that cars are built in batches and that particular options need to come in from external supplies or other factories. Therefore the more options, the longer it is likely to take.

However, April to June is a very quick turn around time. I would say that the reason that adding options in this case would delay it by 2 to 3 months is due to the fact a car with the specification you have selected may already be in production and that's why you're getting it in 2.5 months instead the standard 4 to 5

Hi Coreying,
very much appreciate the feedback.
I kinda thought that it might be a car already in production or available somewhere. Either way, I can't wait and looking forward to getting my hands on it. I'll just add as many dealer fitted accessories as I can afford.

Isn't it weird that as soon as you order a new car, every rattle, squeak and minor fault in your existing car drives you insane!!

cheers

Hey Nic, when did Glen Waverley give you the ETA that your car is ready on Monday?
1 week before, 2 weeks before?

[hooba]

Not really, I really comes down the availability of the options you are after and the colour. When I ordered my car, the dealer had cars on the water in black with DSG and leather that were no good to me. You'll probably find that the dealer already had a car on order with the combination you were after, hence the shorter delivery time.

Hi Kenny, they rang me yesterday and Monday was the earliest they could do it. They said they got confirmation that it arrives tomorrow. Im going in 2 check it over before they start preparing it for delivery. Very excited!
