New Polo - I've got one!

[emmz]

Thanks all for your advice I went and spoke to the dealer yesterday afternoon and they couldn't give me any solid reason as to why it has been delayed...

The manager who was in charge at the time I placed my order is no longer working there, so the salesman basically told me that all his information came from the now departed manager and he doesn't know where the problem originated from... It all sounds like they have given my car to someone else, and are now blaming the manager who no longer works there... No-one else is willing to accept any responsibility or offer any reasons for the delay...

I told them I want a comfort pack at no extra cost and they are supposed to be calling me back with an answer (when, I don't know). Does anyone know of a way I can find out if they have given my car to another customer who was perhaps prepared to pay more for it? I'm so sick of this whole thing already I just want my car!! LOL

Im having issues with my delivery date too!!
I ordered on the 8th of May they said 16wks wks at the max which is the 28th of august.
I recieved a call last month saying the computer was saying start of september was the expected delivery but it changes and comes to a closer date, Today i get a call saying it has changed to OCTOBER!
They told me it went into the factory on the 30th of june so i really dont know what is going on.
Yep all i want is my car too lol

That sucks emmz! I had another call from the dealer a few days ago to confirm that mine *should* be arriving late Sept/early Oct... They still couldn't give me a firm timeframe though... Maybe there has been a delay at the factory while they sort out some of these rattle issues?

So anyone else getting updates?
I just got told my car is now delayed till Dec! :,(

[RedSky83]

I got an email from my dealer the other day to say the rep I was working with left and that they'd call me shortly with an update. I'll see what he says.

yep...no change in delivery (estimated) date yet

My car is due to be placed on the ship tomorrow after putting an order in for my polo last Thursday, don't know whether it has to do with spec, allocation to certain parts of Australia or what not. 25th September after clearance from Customs etc. Best of luck Casper with the car mate

What specs did you order? You're very lucky to get such a good delivery time.

Not sure about you guys, Ive placed an order for a White Candy MY11 77TSI DSG, with sports package and Audio package on 17th of July, was expecting delivery at around Mid October. But now the dealer is saying mid December......

I would expect that to be correct....given the time frame we were given on a similar specced unit (Flash Red), ordered June, expected mid-November.

Just reading all your locations, most of them are WA, Vic, SA. Is it me or is there a shortage of Polo;s in those areas? like i ordered my car two weeks ago and its arriving on the docks the 28th Aug...i just feel surprised/shocked to read that most of you put orders in excess of 6 weeks ago, Might want to quiz your dealerships about this.

I have.....I am waiting for an answer tomorrow. However, it would seem that the WA dealers didn't expect that the Polo would sell so well, so they did not purchase many build slots. Dermott may or may not correct me on this.

Also, WA has had a run on new cars (due to hailstorms etc), and the new car market does not have a lot to offer for soon as deliveries (especially VWs).

Finally some good news on my Polo! The dealer called today to give me my VIN and let me know that it's currently on a boat. The boat is due to arrive in Brisbane on 9 Sept, and I should have it in my possession 2-3 weeks later

I have already put the VIN into the tracking website mentioned elsewhere on the forums to verify his story and it checks out.

It feels like I've been waiting an eternity! Only one more month to go...

[Stevemak]

That's very good news mate! Only 1 month to go for you

I ordered mine on 21st May but haven't been given a VIN number yet. I was told last weekend my car was on a boat due for delivery in early september. I was then told on Monday that no VIN yet but approx delivery is end of september/October.

It's been a long 3 months now for me I tell you
