Ok, not the best deal going around, but I didn't qualify for any corporate deals, so I can't complain too much.
Full tank of fuel
Nice black GTI T-shirt
2 x caps
and a great bunch of flowers....

$37,500 Drive-away after my $5545 trade.

Good on you.... have fun.

How Long Did You / Are You Waiting For Your MK6 GTI?

I am in the process of waiting for my MK6 GTI. The dealer has told me varying arrival dates - from 4 months to 7 months. I was just wanting to see what other peoples experience has been since it was launched in October last year?

I am apparently being told this week about a specific arrival date, but i'm getting abit sick of thr conflicting news I'm getting.

Not in line with Your question... but still it was waiting and it lasted 28 years

**mobster** · 21-03-2010, 08:09 PM

Hey Pauly, I ordered 21st Nov, I heard from my dealer early last week that my GTI is built but not on the ship yet. ETA is now 4th May for me. Getting pretty darn excited!

Hey Pauly

I ordered my in Feb 2010, was told it's arrving to the country between Jun and July of this year. maybe even longer i was told. hang in there buddy.. it's worth the wait.

**trueman** · 21-03-2010, 09:09 PM

Ordered late December, told delivery late March (was new to VW so thought this was OK), then blew out to April...MAy ......June .......... now maybe July.
Pretty crappy if they had told me July from the start I would have still ordered the car!! Now I just feel like they have played me along.
Will name names if don't get a more clear cut answer soon

Pauly, whilst I understand that you are excited about making your first car purchase, or first new car purchase, you constantly open new threads asking questions which are easily found if you only looked in the thread list, or used the search function.

Now, you're answer can easily be found in many places, but two which are stickied at the top of every page of the MK6 forums:
How to track the car you have ordered?

Edit - I decided to take trueman's suggestion and just merge these threads

What's wrong with the existing thread that is stickied at the top of the forum for this exact purpose? I know you like creating new threads but it makes it harder to find useful information which leads to more people creating new threads and the cycle continues.

And the ETA is exactly that, even if you get a date there is a good chance that it will be pushed back closer to that date, the more options you have, the greater the chance so don't expect an accurate ETA as it's means exactly what it says 'Estimated Time of Arrival'.

You ordered your car 3 business days ago, it takes time for a slot to be allocated for the build of your car and pestering the dealer for this information will only get him offside. What he has told you so far is 4 to 7 months which sounds like a realistic lead-time.
