Hopefully they can truck it up the hill quickly to stop this GTI-anxiety :tapfingers:

I think I'm leading (or is that losing) the longest wait race... ordered October 31, expecting delivery in early June. *cries*

Geez I must be a patient guy! ;)

How is it possible for you to be waiting so long!.. that's nuts.

Mine will be 5 months to the day.

Ordered 20th Dec. Arrival 5th May. Delivery 20th May.

The TOREADOR arrives in Melbourne today. :-D Anyone else in my boat?

So what, like 2 weeks to go?? Longest two weeks ever...

It just showed up on the AIS tracking site for me today.
I have to wait another 5 days till it arrives in Brisbane but it got pushed forward a day so i am not complaining.

Hope you get your new GTI quickly.
I heard of timeframes between 3-4 weeks depending on dealer fitted options.

One thing that has annoyed me though, they scratched my passenger window when they were taking the sticker off. They have ordered a new window and will install it next week. But god brand new car and already this happens!!

But i love it, and i cant hear the rattle, i thought i heard it when i drove away but it was very, very faint. Not hearing it anymore.

Ill post some picks on the weekend if i get a chance!

Not sure. I had "2010 build" written into my contract, and have a few options (as per my sig). Other than that, luck (or lack thereof) of the draw I guess. Fingers crossed it'll get through customs quickly, and I'm glad I have no dealer-fitted options specified - so they can clean it and hand it over STAT! ;) I am incredibly over not having a car right now!

Yeah - if you specified 2010 build, then that would've delayed you by 2 months straight away!

It must be the sunroof. I ordered my GTI on 27 October specifying the same "2010 Build" and as you can see below, very similar specs.

I took delivery 12 March.

You sure did get bumped to the back of the queue.

Wow - March 12 is exceptional for a 2010 build. Considering the 3 weeks it takes once the car has landed, and the shipping time... it must've really been built in the 1st week of the year!
