How to track the car you have ordered?

[Maverick]

Even so 6 month or 8 months wait for car is too long VWA is responsible for providing an estimate on how many cars get allocated to built for Australia. Gathering by what iam hearing on wait times from other people the requirements are not been met to a satisfactory standard.
Yes VWA is responsible for this

The car is popular and VWA are given limited build slots as the factory has to cater for other countries.

If you wanted your car quickly you should have chosen one coming in on a ship and compromised on the configuration or gone elsewhere.

The dealer shouldn't have told you three months when the cars were taking longer. As I said it's the dealership you should direct your anger at or you could just suck it up and enjoy the car.

Yeah - I have to agree. Your anger is being misplaced. The dealer should not have told you 3 months. This was simply misleading given the number of other customers who had more realistic timeframes provided by their dealers.

im very lucky with mine - the only thing extra i wanted was a sunroof, but didnt want to wait 6-8 months for it.... compromising sometimes pays, and at the end of the day u still have an awesome car

it takes 2 months on the boat the get here (with all the stops plus customs) so i agree 3 months is unrealistic for custom - u should talk to VWA about the dealer given they gave false info to seal a deal (and stringing u along for 5 months)

Hi guys, i have been told by my dealer that my golf R is expected in Sydney around October 31st. This figure seems to have been given to a few others as well. How accurate is this date? Should i be optimistic in expecting that to stay true? I certainly hope that i won't be dragged into a 5-6month wait.

Last I'd heard everyone else has been quoted end of Nov and that's the first shipment. So not sure where Oct 31 came from.

I hope you are right but I think pretty much all of us with 'R's on order have been told delivery end of November, i guess if the ship docks the end of October it will be November before you receive it, but i reckon it's going to be a few weeks later than they have told you.

Well, technically JaseVW's dealer could be right as well. "Expected in Sydney around October 31st" is when the boat will arrive around. Add your 3 weeks for customs/compliance/transport and a week's dealer preparation and JaseVW will be collecting his car around November 30 with the rest of us

True, I was told the polo is arriving on the 1st of sept, but they won't have it at the dealer until the 23rd.

IVe gotten a date of 15 October written on mine. I've already sold my soul for that. We'll see if my guy comes through. I believe he will. Before I was ordering a GTI, I had 30 September so when I changed I got told 15 Oct but that's being pessimistic (I was told) so that my hearts not broken.

I have no idea cause I never bought VW before. Should be ok though..

Thats potentially awesome news for me. I placed my order yesterday for my R. Potentially...assuming we're all in the same batch...I could have it late November early december?????Sweet!
