How to track the car you have ordered?

**trueman** · 24-02-2010, 04:29 PM

Hi all
Trying to follow this thread.
I ordered in last week of december through broker(

) and have been stuffed around since. No build date no VIN etc. Now delivery "May sometime".
Am I being unreasonable or is this a typical ETD?

Thanks

That delivery date sounds reasonable (within 6 months from purchase).
If delivery is in May you shouldn't have a Vin until mid-March to early April.

I have been told June delivery for a 28 January contract.
Been given a commission number but have been told the Vin will be provided when the factory allocates the car to be built and not to expect it until April.

I had a similar problem going through a broker. I got to the point that I cancelled the order.
It seems as if they are all over you until you have paid the deposit and they have taken their "fee". Then you are left in nowhere land. No communication, nothing.
I believe that because you went through a broker the dealer pushes your order to the back of the queue.
Sorry trueman

, moral of the story DON'T go through a broker!

I ordered my GTI the end of October. Hate to rub it in but it arrives tomorrow.

I ordered mine on Monday this week and the dealer gave me a print out of the build and delivery schedule today...........its states that it is currently in the build stage and the ship should dock in Pt Kembla on about the 10/5/10. Delivery to me will be about 10 working days after that.

It also states that the dealer originally ordered the car on the 22/10/09.......8 months before delivery

(Lucky i chose one that was scheduled to be built already)

I ordered almost identical spec in early December, and it looks like the build/delivery schedule is almost identical. Maybe they've grouped together all the white 3-doors

I think your right about them grouping them together.. I watched a youtube link on mk6 golf production lines and it showed them grouped by colour on the production line??
