Didn't you look at dealer stock? I've had to wait 4 days for mine! You can't choose the spec of course, but if one matches... 

Very nice looks stunning in white

No...

Motability my friend...

 

A great deal, if you ignore the whole having a disabled wife thing.

Aha, totally understandable. What have you ordered?

I have ordered a vRS TSI DSG Estate in Black...

 

And yes... I know black is going to be a nightmare to keep clean....

I had two black ones, less trouble than white. All cars look scruffy when dirty, occupational hazard of UK climate

When did you order yours Andy, and have you had any sort of delivery info yet?

 

We ordered ours via Motability on 24th August and they claimed 10-12 weeks, but others say it takes longer!

Oh there is a whole thread about this...

 

I ordered mine mid July.  My build week is 39 so hopefully picking up the end of October.

Yes, know some are getting there's quickly and others are seemingly waiting forever!

 

We've gone VRS Diesel 4X4 DSG Estate, so hopefully won't be delayed like the petrols.

 

Still in our current car for as long as needed as we are terminating that lease early due to now needing an Auto.

FTFY

 

Hopefully, with yours being a diesel order, it will come quite quickly !

Can I take from that Peter that you've ordered your (petrol) version via Motability and it's taking a while?

Both me and Peter have had lengthy delays after ordering petrol vRS's through Motability.

 

I ordered mine at the beginning of May and mine is due to be built this week (fingers crossed )

 

I was told by my dealer that the diesel vRS was being built a lot quicker though. 

 

Hope you have less of a wait than we have had

Me too, however, embarrassingly we seem to be highjacking Adam's threaded !

 

Lovely looking car Adam, judging by your April order, yours is petrol I assume?

20 weeks order to build for me and I believe 19 for Laurie (MrTaylor).  Obviously this is totally unrelated to them being Motability orders.  The fact everyone else seems to be getting theirs a lot quicker is pure coincidence .

There's nothing like a little bit of hijacking  sorry Adam

 

Lovely looking car, making me almost regret getting the hatch now. Was very tempted with white, looks great with the black pack plus

This is not true. I was told opposite (that it would take less to get petrol TSI) and my VRS TDI DSG is scheduled to be built in week 45 which is 19 weeks from order to build. Although I am in different country it seems that they are saying whatever calms potential buyers.

Hi. No mine is diesel. It's  been at the dealers a while but I wanted to wait for the 67 reg.

Makes sense, was yours 10-12 weeks from order though?

A beaut!  seeing as you are Kent based too, can you give me an idea of how long it took from the car being at Emden to dealership? 

Never had a brand new car (too tight); newest I have ever owned is what I have now which was 13 months old when I bought it having driven 7+ year old cars previously.

 

What pointless trips have you lined up, simply for taking the car out for a spin?  I ended up day tripping to West Wales, Portsmouth and a few days up in Edinburgh just because.

 

There is something about jumping in a new car and taking it on a road trip
