Hi Doggie

I wouldn't be too phased about it. There'll always be someone with a better deal. I'm sure someone will post next week/month of an even better deal. Just enjoy your purchase (once it arrives). I've learnt not to sweat those details.

Cheers

[DoggieHowser]

Just the wait is bugging me

[gecko2k]

I heard there will be new batch coming soon which is on a ship atm. Do you guys know when it will arrive?

[Jeffsy]

Yep, if you look back the last few pages of this thread you will see that there are a number of us waiting on this shipment for our cars. Personally, I'm waiting on a standard 155TSI in blue after being told they couldn't source one from anywhere in the country.

A couple of weeks ago we were all told six weeks, so basically I am hoping to have my car mid to late April. I don't believe anyone has been provided any specific dates yet. I anyone else has, I would be also pleased to hear!

Was told by the dealer that the car is being built in week 18, and take 10 weeks for delivery so it would be some time in August?

Hey Blue

Dealer told me there was a shipment arriving in two months. Alas, no car with the specs I ordered.

Does anyone have any insight as too why it takes VW Oz 5+ months to deliver a vehicle to a customer? I've previously custom ordered a Merc and it took approx. 3 months. Five months seems an inordinate amount of time.

If you have the VIN you can see where your car is - see the Sticky thread !

My car was on the Torrens and was discharged in Fremantle on the 8/3/12. Must be on the way to the East next...

Hi Stig

Duly noted regarding the VIN, thanks.

The question I posed was in relation to the actual time from placing an order to receiving the actual car. Delivery bordering on half a year seems excessive. You would think VW being a large volume car manufacturer, that they'd have a streamlined process implemented.

Any takers?

well my dealer told me there is one coming within a month in Melb. but I never trust dealer..

I deposit my 132 Pacific in Ti Beige on 04/02, the dealer told me my car will ready pick up at 25/03

I dont know how true it is but one of the dealers i went to told me they can steal cars from other dealers as they sell more cars and are considered a higher priority. He told me i could have any car that was coming into the country, even if it had been allocated to a customer.....

I can only imagine how much of a problem this could create if it is true.

Luckily for me i only wanted a pepper grey or black 132 DSG with comfort pack so i had no issues and i had no need to steal a car from someone lol

After a three week wait for my VIN from my dealer, I can now track the car myself. I have found two inconsistancies from what the dealer has told me. Firstly, I was told my car was on a ship AU bound on 21/2, but I can now see that my car wasn't loaded until just last week on 13/3 in Bremerhaven on the "Fidelio". Secondly, he now tells me the car will be in Melbourne in about five weeks, but it is quite clear that the car is being unloaded in Port Kembla near Wollongong on 30/4, being in six weeks and no doubt closer to seven before getting to Melbourne. Its a shame it couldn't be left in Melbourne on 27/4, but hey what's an extra three days...
