The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[AdamD]

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, as Corey said, that's outstanding mate. At the time I placed the order I naively assumed that the dealer could order my car right away and have it queued for build early in the new year (especially as I didn't order that many options). I've since learned that the factory doesn't guarantee a build year when an order is placed, so I suspect my dealer was just being careful to ensure my car was built in 2010, as I had requested. Add the rest of the delays imposed by JIT manufacturing and strong demand in other markets, and and a week 10 build it became.

C'est la vie. I'm not complaining - there's nothing that can be done about the situation, and there's no question the car will be worth every day of waiting!

Anyone else who has a 2010 build checked their engine? I checked and my engine has a sticker on in stating a December 2009 buld. But in the boot it has the Janurary 2010 build.
I am not annoyed or pissed off in anyway that the engine is a 09 build as i understand they would have them already built and when a car is ordered they would just "grab one off the shelf" so to speak. Thats my opinion, could be wrong.

Just interested to see what year other's engine's are bult in.

Those with cars delivered before April, i'd be double checking that its a 2010 build if you asked for this.

First week of production is the second week of Feb. To get a car within 4-6 weeks of that is incredibly quick.

The engine is a December 2009 build and the build plate in the boot does say January 2010.

I don't really care about the engine being a 2009 build. It still goes like all crap!

Well my dealer did guarantee that the car was a 2010 build. I even saw the order form saying 3rd Week of January build.

Not too concerened anyway.

I heard of timeframes between 3-4 weeks depending on dealer fitted options.

so 2 weeks is wishful thinking huh. damn. so all up it'll be pretty much 6 months wait on the dot for me then. never knew I could be so patient...

Hey at least the Toreador made it to your port, I still have to wait another 5 days until it arrives in Brisbane and then another 3 weeks until i can drive it.

3 weeks is the given average for customs, adr, complaince and dealer prep.

When mine lands it will have been 97 days from ordering.
If delivery is late May, it;s close to 4 months for me.

Mine will be the same as well, at this point in time it is looking like exactly 4 months from date of order to date received.

[Christopher]

Will be 142 days for me.. Monday seems so far away!!!

[JPwest]

175 days.
if the latest info from my dealer is correct on it's delivery date.
i believe my car is being carved from a solid block of metal, by a man with a nail file.
or so it would seem.

I tell myself the wait will be worth it.
