The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[gv-dub]

Not sure to be honest... he said they will have it by end of next week.. they are looking for 18" to put on it however??? may delay the delivery. I assumed it would be pre-delivered with Detroits if I ordered them with it??

If it is due in Melb end of next week, it will be the Asian Dynasty, due on 29th May. Has the dealer given you a VIN number, as they should have it. You can then track which boat it is on via https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb Check back through this thread - heaps of detail on how/where to track ships etc....

I've ordered mine with the Detroits and as far as I know, they come from the factory like that. Does anyone else know if they fit them at the dealer?

In case you want to follow your car "Live", just find the name of the vessel it's on and you'll be able to see it's live position, speed and more !

Dont forget that the AIS system only tracks within about 40 nautical miles or so. It is not a GPS tracking system, so once the ship goes out to sea, you won't see it for a while.

is anybody in brisbane getting their cars soon from an early may ship ? this part of the wait is the worst BY FAR!

[Brendan_A]

Yeah. Could have got mine Monday. Still selling my old car but.

For all of you waiting until your golf arrives... it is well worth the wait. I got to have the first real drive of mine today and am more than happy.

[flying_sheep]

After a number of delays, I will finally get my car tomorrow!! Woohoo!

It may be worth the wait, but it's still waiting

Still waiting for customs to clear my car, but it's only been with them since Sunday.

Picked mine up this afternoon.

Been driving for about 3 hours.

Tired.

Bed.

Write more tomorrow.

ps. holy shizfarkin!

Congrats mate - you've been waiting (and deliberating) for quite a while!

Finally picked mine up yesterday. I'm really liking it so far - the 118 TSI engine is fantastic, it accelerates deceptively quickly and quietly. More "zippy" than actually fast, of course. The DSG is also neat... on a rational level it seems superior to a manual, but I still haven't quite shaken away the feeling that a proper car has three pedals, not two.

Just working out finance for a Black manual GTI right now. It's just sitting there in the dealership... Should be processed within the week hopefully.

[elephino]

My car now shows up today as delivered (yesterday) and should be with the dealer...so called the dealer. They've got no real knowledge and will (hopefully) get a call back tomorrow. It is on their system properly, so that at least means it's either with them or on its way from Port Kembla.

So next week, I will have my car at last!

[jonjon]

Word of advice...don't buy your car from barloworld in glen waverly.
