Any delivery delays???

[mattyf83]

I ordered mine on wednesday, i have estimated delivery time of May 17.

Do they all come on the same boat?, i cant imagine there would be a boat full of VW's rocking up every week or month,

I would say any Jap car.. But not something i would be considering! hehe

No... that's the thing. Jap cars (typically) don't get built to order. They just have so little option combinations from the factory that 99% of the time they can fulfil the order with stock which is already in the country, or is on the way.

Take the Civic Type R for example. 4 colours, no factory options, and then a bunch of dealer fit accessories, which means they only have 4 cars to stock. Or Mazda 3 MPS. 4 colours and two spec levels for 8 combinations to stock. Completely different world to the Golf GTI which I calculate has 1,920 combinations after excluding factory options which the dealers _could_ do themselves if they really had to. Or 122,880 combinations including all factory options.

Hi,

bought my GTI on the 7/12 delivered on the 10/12. Yes last manual they had on the floor (Barloworld, Mascot) Got the colour I wanted reflex silver, but came with 17" wheels, cloth trim and no options. Was told their next deliveries were scheduled for April 2011, if I wanted any options.
