kgt Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just like to say hello to all as I've been reading this forum since November and only posted once. Was notified of my build week today: week 10 for 3 door, DBP, Manual, Sunroof, Monte seats. This is my first R32 so can't wait! A big jump from a 1.4 Polo! Was told I'd get it about 4 weeks after the build week although they say there's a good chance that it may be sooner as previous R32s have arrived earlier than expected. Very impressed by this forum and have learned a lot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc851 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 bit harsh to have heard nowt, was it a DSG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindaloo Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Got my BD yesterday as well, only ordered it last weekend, build date is Week 13, was told the same that chances are it will arrive early if it's a manual which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xscreamsuk Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yep was a DSG, I'm # 5 of 6 on the list, i emailed dealer last week, they said should be able to place order late Jan, I guess I should be contacting again? I'm in no rush, time to save up a bit, but I don't fancy waiting until the end of the year, I was originally told would be May / June delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc851 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I bunged my order in the start of nov, dsg too, think i was just lucky my dealership is a bit of a sleepy hollow, I didnt want it til march anyway, for the 06 plate, and it gave me time to get some cash together too. I'm advised it's now built, and sat waiting for the boat/ or shipping. So it will only be sat getting pissed on and frozen by manchester weather for 2 weeks max hopefully. I would poss advise ringing round other nearby dealers see if they have any earlier slots, just in case they tell you in June that it will be the end of the year. Don't trust 'em!! They want to keep your deposit in their bank account!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xscreamsuk Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Dealer is part of a chain with 3 other local dealers, all have said the same , but they would, wouldn't they? No other ones I've tried have a build slot for this year. I'll wait to see what they say. manchester is not far away, don't suppose your peeps have any builds left?

njc851 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I think smith knight fay group own the whole lot around manch area, mine is oldham and they put it through the main office (stockport i think) so they probably have more build slots as they are a bigger concern, I can only recommend ringing Stockport up and seeing what they say, can on ly tell you to go whistle at worst? 1 week ago they had 2 slots left at bradford cos i was in there having a leer at one the showroom, might be worth a look?

Soprano Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I know Robinsons VW (Norwich) have 3 builds left for this year, may be worth a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hixster Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Nice one swil00! Good choice of colour and config. I've gone for the same..got my build date for week 16. Although i've been told by forum members that the factory is on holiday for those 2 weeks so i'll probably see the car in June. Nevermind. ,it's worth the wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindaloo Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I was told they only take 2 to 3 weeks from factory build to showroom, how come they've told you 2 months, that sounds ridiculous. I know that Warrington VW have spaces for the March 1st order (they get 3 per month) which they said would then be May/June delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swil00 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Not sure why I've been quoted 2mths after build date... I'll maybe go in and ask as the salesman that told me that has only been there 6mths or so...... If I get it earlier than that then all the better...
