seventyseven Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Ordered my car 6.5 weeks ago & they tell me they usually know about week 8. Sounds like mollox to me but is that the case? They aren't being very informative & I'm getting twitchy. Beware!! This what happens when you order a car before discovering tyresmoke. Any reassurance re build week?

RedRobin Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 If you are buying via a VW dealer then they usually tell you your build week within two weeks of taking your deposit and order for. The import dealers tell you much later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventyseven Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 It's an import dealer-that sound about right then Red'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm buying from a main dealer - ordered on 27th June, and haven't heard anything yet regarding delivery or build week. When I phone, I'm told that they don't want to promise any date until they're sure, and once it's confirmed, they'll let me know. Hmmmmm. I was also told that the factory closed for 3 weeks in the summer (end of july, beginning of august) is this right? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Ranter > Yes, factory closes but I thought it was only 2 weeks. UK VW dealer should tell you within a couple of weeks cos it will be logged onto the networked tracking system as soon as Wolfsburg sees your order. Quasimoto > Yes, about 8 weeks is usually right for an import dealer. Have fun waiting! Tee Hee. How you will suffer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Cheers RR, the dealer did say that the order was on the system... Ho Hum...I'll just have to learn patience. I've a holiday booked for the start of November, and knowing my luck, the car will arrive the morning I'm due to fly, and I'll spend the holiday wishing I was back home in my new motor!

RedRobin Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 My advice is to politely keeping phoning your dealer - The squeaky wheel is the one that gets oiled first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemod Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 When I ordered mine back in Jan '05 I phoned VW customer services (0800711811), they contacted the dealer and got my commission number, and they then gave me a build week Then I pestered them for sixteen weeks getting updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablorubino Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 my VW dealer gave me the build week (37) about three weeks after the order was placed IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventyseven Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Cheers Red'-kinda reassured now,guess the main thing is that the car's kosher when it gets here. ''tee-hee'' is it?
