Hey mate, which dealer? I might have the same..

Barloworld Mascot
Ordered the car back in Nov
No factory options ie leather, sunroof, satnav - only options to be dealer fitted. Thought that I may have a chance scoring one sooner because of its std config.

i just ordered my 118 tsi on monday,
it had a car with the specs i want besides the beige leather it has black leather instead.
but i'll make do without the extra months waiting.
was told that the car was on a boat dued to land on 31st of march. recieved a call this morning from them, first thought was **** it's already here? then i hear the bad news, the boat got delayed by like 3 weeks T_T.
this is from the five dock dealer btw i want to cry right now

EDIT: i think my car might be on the same boat as yours paulcito

Awesome looking car GR33nbastad, and the timing for the pics couldn't have been better as I got to show my wife what her car will look like when it arrives, wheels and all. We made the right colour choice for sure.
Carbon, DSG, Detroits, Leather with elec adjustment, basic but all we need.
Got some great news on Friday, the (second time lucky, fingers crossed) car is on the water and on its way, engine and vin number supplied due here end of April or early May?

Sounds like a nice car you are getting. Your car might be on the same boat as mine. Due in Bris on the 29/4.

Yep that's the exact due date !
The Dealership is mumbling words like "possible" "probable" and "maybe" so I'm figuring early to mid may will be fine.

[trueman]

WoHOOoo !!
Err, sorry bout that...
Just drove my new ride home.......................................Bucking Frilliant...
Ok, not the best deal going around, but I didn't qualify for any corporate deals, so I can't complain too much.
Full tank of fuel
Nice black GTI T-shirt
2 x caps
and a great bunch of flowers....
$37,500 Drive-away after my $5545 trade.

Good on you.... have fun.

How Long Did You / Are You Waiting For Your MK6 GTI?

How Long Did You / Are You Waiting For Your MK6 GTI?

I am in the process of waiting for my MK6 GTI. The dealer has told me varying arrival dates - from 4 months to 7 months. I was just wanting to see what other peoples experience has been since it was launched in October last year?

I am apparently being told this week about a specific arrival date, but i'm getting abit sick of thr conflicting news I'm getting.

[MIRSAD]

Not in line with Your question... but still it was waiting and it lasted 28 years

Re: How Long Did You / Are You Waiting For Your MK6 GTI?

Hey Pauly, I ordered 21st Nov, I heard from my dealer early last week that my GTI is built but not on the ship yet. ETA is now 4th May for me. Getting pretty darn excited!

[noowve]

Hey Pauly

I ordered my in Feb 2010, was told it's arrving to the country between Jun and July of this year. maybe even longer i was told. hang in there buddy.. it's worth the wait.

[trueman]

Ordered late December, told delivery late March (was new to VW so thought this was OK), then blew out to April...MAy ......June .......... now maybe July.
Pretty crappy if they had told me July from the start I would have still ordered the car!! Now I just feel like they have played me along.
Will name names if don't get a more clear cut answer soon

Pauly, whilst I understand that you are excited about making your first car purchase, or first new car purchase, you constantly open new threads asking questions which are easily found if you only looked in the thread list, or used the search function.

Now, you're answer can easily be found in many places, but two which are stickied at the top of every page of the MK6 forums:
How to track the car you have ordered?

Edit - I decided to take trueman's suggestion and just merge these threads

What's wrong with the existing thread that is stickied at the top of the forum for this exact purpose? I know you like creating new threads but it makes it harder to find useful information which leads to more people creating new threads and the cycle continues.

And the ETA is exactly that, even if you get a date there is a good chance that it will be pushed back closer to that date, the more options you have, the greater the chance so don't expect an accurate ETA as it's means exactly what it says 'Estimated Time of Arrival'.

You ordered your car 3 business days ago, it takes time for a slot to be allocated for the build of your car and pestering the dealer for this information will only get him offside. What he has told you so far is 4 to 7 months which sounds like a realistic lead-time.
