mikeconnolly Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 excellent forum - keeps the wait bearable. I ordered on the 24th Aug and have been quoted build week 43. The dealer has then stated delivery likley 5wks after, therefore early Dec. Is the 5wks about right and what is the best way to check on progress. Any advice would be welcome Thanks Steel grey, dsg, 18's, multi cd, highline, & winter pack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 5wks seems quite long to be honest. i would have thought 3 maybe 4 max. I'm build week 42 (this week) wohoo! and dealer is quoting an early Nov delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixit Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Mikec... As LeMan says 5 weeks is an age.. Mine was Build week 28 and it arrived 15 days later.. I'd be tempted to put a little pressure on your dealer. I'm sure they build in a "calming" buffer, so you don't bug em too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiey Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Also make them look good to quote a longer time and then call you "early" to say it's on it's way... Mine *should* be at the dealers today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeconnolly Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 thanks guys The dealer is saying they have no control. Unfortunately i could not choose which dealer as its a zenith company car. If it comes early fantastic - may even get them to deliver by wagon to my home or perhaps i will go and pick it up, most certainly NOT having them driving it to me.

GTiMK5 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Mike, Welcome mate. If you think early dec and it comes sooner then its a bonus, better to be thinking worst case then you wont be disappointed. As for delivery, I would pick it up, means you are more in control and not waiting for when they can organise delivery to your house and you get to drive it sooner.

WhiteHArtMart Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Not yet mate - mind you I've had to chase them for every bit of info along the way! Would take anything they tell me with a huge pinch of salt!! Just hoping that the timing is right with regards to her catching the ferry!! I'll guessing she'll turn up w/c 7 November! Having to use the wife's car til then though else I'll need to service and re-tyre my Audi!! GTI can't come soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Still haven't sold your A3?!? surprised. any viewings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHArtMart Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Nope - think the 2nd hand market is pretty dead - as it happens the trade in price now looks pretty good compared to the various guide prices! Always had that to fall back on - glad I did now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I got a brilliant price for my Golf GTI. Sold my a3 to my brother for 20k.. not too bad! lost 4k on it in 18 months. My local dealer offered me 15k for the A3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHArtMart Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Dealer just took the time to call me to let me know it was still showing as Week 42 on their system!! For a minute I thought he had some worthwhile news!! When I mentioned to him that week 42 was this week he just went quiet and then said... I believe so! What a waste of time!
