How to track the car you have ordered?

Sounds like what my days have been like for the past 16 days since it was loaded up.....

Got informed from the dealer today the my GTI was completed on 11/03/10 and is now waiting to go on the boat.
Was wondering how long is takes for it to arrive? I've been quoted a delivery date of 23/04/10. Do you guys think it'll make that date?

I would be EXTREMELY surprised if you had it by then. Generally seems to take a fair bit longer than that.

I recon that would be around th dates that it arrives at th docks. Then add around another 2-3wks for customs clearance and dealer prep.

Believe it highly unlikely unless they are flying it out. No ship has left Bremerhaven since the Torino on the 10/3/2010 that I can find and there are 3 ships leaving shortly with arrival in Port Kembla is 29/04/2010 at the earliest. Even if it was on the Torino a day before it was finished it still would only hit Pt Kembla on 24/4.

So ask the dealer what plane it is on.

Hi all,

I ordered my GTI a few weeks ago and spoke to the dealer this morning. They told me that the car is due to land on the the 24th of August and expect delivery sometime in the middle of September. At the moment they have a build date in June sometime but no VIN number. Just wondering if anyone else is waiting the same amount of time for their GTI?
