New cars stalled in storage yards

I'm interested in a Tiguan 103 TDI. How can I help dealers' storage charges? Happy to help at no delivery fee and a tad no arrogance. R. E. S. P. E. C. T. please...

I'm prepared to mind an R36 for them if they like. I want to do my bit during these times of economic hardship.

I did my bit to help the cause.

My Jetta came from a Melbourne holding yard.

It's crazy how they are piling up around the wharves here in Sydney as well. Every spare bit of space around Glebe Island is chockers now.

It might just be me but I think you could have a lot of fun in a big wheeler.

Well I don't think VW has any stock... A friend of mine has been chasing a DSG TDI Polo for over a month... so far 2 dealers have not been able to get one.

.... Or I have a sneaking suspicion dealers just don't want to sell a car.

Depends on availability of what is ordered; color/trim/transmission combination. I was very lucky to get my Golf within a week as it was sitting in the holding yard at the time. Had I ordered a different color, I was going to have to wait . . . a long time.

I can assure you, dealers love the cash-flow and wouldn't do anything that would slow that flow.

. . . oh and one other thing. A good dealer would suggest another colour or trim to a prospective buyer if it were available for immediate delivery.

I think there may be a reason for this, just had a quick look at the Polo specs on VWA website, DSG is not available at all in the Polo range, the only auto is a 6 speed Tiptronic that appears to only be available for the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engine Polo. TDI available only in 5 sped manual.

That's even worse if I call up and ask for one of those and the sales guy doesn't even catch on lol, I'll have to tell my friend. I asked for any colour too.

i dont get it,

so none of the dealers have bothered to explain it ain't happening in the polo?

they can't be very intellectually bright dealers...

my work place in melb has some empty warehousing most of the year and they were approached by the car storage places around us as to whether they can start to store cars onsite... will be interesting to see if they take up the offer...

[mikepologti]

they can use my back yard to store vehicles,.........with there keys,........to move them around of course,...........though unfortunatly we have a lot of theives up here on the coast and 1, 2 possibly 12 could go missing,............send them now!.........please
