Oreokid Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 i am thinking about getting a gti but i have been told by my local dealer that the delivery time is 6 months!! is this true or is he just trying to shift the used stock he has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_d Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 6 months? Where the hell are you mate? In the UK the delivery time is about 8-12 weeks. You'll be lucky to get 8 weeks, but unlucky to get much over 12. That's for completely your own spec, whatever you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I waited 14 weeks for mine and i think that is the standard for Northern Ireland, 6 months seems to be ripping the arse out of it, unless you live in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petsy Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 try another dealer as they may still have allocation available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreokid Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 i have tried 2 in the in kent one told me that i would be lucky to get one before 2008!! and the other said 6 months, so i might try a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordlad Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 www.euroimports.co.uk, ring them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 As Stevie says I would accept anything longer than 3 months... keep ringing round until you find a dealer within that time frame. Have you checked with the Windrush network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreokid Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 sorry i have never heard of windrush, what and where are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Windrush own a few VW dealerships in Slough, Maidenhead (plus one more?) which is a bit of a trek for you as you're in Kent but would be worth it! I got mine from Slough, here's a linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joffan Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Can highly recommend Windrush Maidenhead.Had a great experience when I purchased from them. Chris Conroy is the man to talk too,1st class service,not like my local Listers dealership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabskabs Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 you will love it! i have the same spec w/ dsg it is magic! i waited 7 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbetts Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 My first GTi took 6 months and I got it in Sept 05 - my next GTi took 1 day - as I bought it from the showroom floor. They are out there... there are also factory slots that are still spec-changeable if you phone around from Dealer to Dealer. You could have a car of your choosing in around 4-6 weeks.... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
