How to track the car you have ordered?

[Hoops]

Thanks for answering my question!

How can they put a VIN on the invoice for a car which probably wasn't even built?

My car has already been built. It's already in transit and it arrives at the end of July... so they tell me any way. Oh and I bought it on Monday this week, so I thought they should probably have VIN already and be able to put it on the invoice.

Got the VIN from my dealership Hooray! It's on it's way to South Africa at the moment. So cool that you can look it up like that. Thanks for great detailed info on how to do it guys.

Got the GTI today - most impressed. These things are such high quality and as they say the cockpit is like a cockpit and such a nice place to be in those leather seats. The drive back to the coast from Campbelltown was fun to say the least, so much to discover.....

Got my iphone paired via BT and I took a 4GB thumb drive with me and it works perfectly. The stereo sounds great! Oh! and the DSG sounds unreal - that flutter and blip/burple sounds great... feel like schuey...all I need now is a helmet!!! lol

The CW looks awesome - still might do the red strip grill striping though in black after I do the windows in 35% Octane...

Tried out the heated seats, cool! So many things to learn - going to be a fun journey of learning, cleaning, polishing and modding....

Now parked safely in my garage... I can see I am going to be paranoid at parking lots of where I park.....

BTW Nathan at Paul Wakeling was great to deal with. I got the right plates and he waited until I arrived and I put them on with double sided tape which he provided, some red gel like stuff. Bent the plates ever so slightly to suit the plate holder profiles and I must say the EURO white premiums fit PERFECTLY - they look like they were made for the car or vise versa.

Anyhow - Very happy chappy and thanks to Nathan, I would recommend him as a good dealer who is particular and does what he says he will do....

Hope all those waiting get their cars soon and are happy with the deal....

Cheers

Well done Hoops. Are you on the Aida or the Glorious Leader? Or did you charter a small sturdy fishing boat?

I ordered my GTI late March and was expecting delivery around September. I received an email from the dealer last month claiming expected delivery late July! I enquired about its progress today (expecting it to have reverted back to September...) and was given my VIN number and vessel!

It's on the TOSCANA and left Europe last month, due to arrive in Melbourne on 26th June!!! Allowing 3-4 weeks before delivery means they were pretty much spot on.

Looks like I'll miss out on the current APR sale though...

Hello lads. Yep. I am on the Glorious Leader which is about three days behind the Aida. Could go either way. Watch your backs.
