Picked mine up today. Black with Detroits looks awesome, have never seen one in the flesh until now. MDI is also very cool for you iphone users.

Hopefully I should have mine early July...

This is actually incorrect. Liner release does not mean the car has been offloaded - that status is "Discharged". Note that the quantity for Liner Release is not "1".

I've seen several examples (including my own car) of Liner Release occuring approximately 8-10 days before the ship arrives in port. As per Christopher's comment above, I'd say it's the docks anticipating the arrival of the car and accounting for it.

My GTI is on the Asian Dynasty bound for Melb and today the status has also changed to "Liner Release", but not due until 31/5. So, same as above....getting ready!

Hey Guys,

It's probably been asked before but im just wondering if anyone could tell me how long it took to get notification from the dealer that the car had been booked in to be built or 'Handed over to Production'

Contacted the dealer early this week about some extras i want with my order and he mentioned the car was still 'on order' (its been a month already, so it seems they wont be delivering on their 4 month promise)

Just wondering if this is normal and im getting a little carried away or if it something to have concern about.

Cheers,
Kev

It took me exactly 4 weeks to get that, however I understand that it depends on so many variables like the options you've ordered and even the rate that the plant is running at (which according to chatter on here at the moment is taking longer than normal). My dealer also originally told me 6 six months, and look like they will deliver in just over 3 months - there are so many variables that you just need to see what hand you've been dealt (my car is currently in transit off the east coast of the USA - could it be any further from Oz?!)

I wouldn't worry about it too much, if your dealer has ordered it then they're probably waiting just like you for confirmation. Best thing you can do now is keep a line of communication open with the dealer.
