The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[VooWoo!]

New Golf 103 TDI DSG Wagon arrived today. More impressed that I thought with build quality, engine-transmission, and interior package and glad to have added in the Sports Pack.

Congrats.
Hopefully mines comes in late dec. Hopefully around Christmas... That would be a nice present.

i didnt' want to make a new thread, but I think my query is along the lines anyway.

im looking to get the 118tsi in about 2.5 weeks time, but im worried about the waiting times (~4-5 months wait) after speaking to one of the sales guys back in July. didn't have enough funds back 2 months, but do now

anyway, when i was speaking to sales, he did a look up in his systems to see which cars they already had in the country and he ran off the couple that were in.

im not wanting to get alot of options, all i want really is sat-nav and park-assist (RVC would be bonus) and would prefer any other colour aside from black, but colour is not TOO big a deal.

when he went thorugh his systems, he told me there were a couple in the country (back then), that had sat-nav and park-assist (im assuming these options are popular?) and some other stuff.

but that was two months ago.

im worried at the moment as well, my parents (im 24, not 16 lol and paying for 95% of the car) are saying if there is a wait time of 4-5 months, i should have backups in mind (because of the long wait) and the peugeot 308 and Renault Megane were thrown up as options. to be honest, whilst i love the styling of the 308, i really would very much prefer the 118tsi and VW, so im in sort of a dilemma.

anyone who recently bought a MKVI 118tsi know how the situation is at the moment? any rough ideas? i can phone chatswood classic and ask, but i figured what's the point if im going to get it in 2.5 weeks anyway, alot can change in the time.

cheers! sorry if my post sounds pedantic, but im actually quite nervous and worried :S

I'd prefer to wait 4 months and catch a bus than end up with either a Pug or a Renault.
No point worrying about something that is out of your control, give your dealer a call tomorrow and see what they actually have available.

My MkVI 118TSi, ordered 2 weeks ago, is currently on a boat heading to Sth Africa. It is due in Sydney on 5/10/2010. My car is manual with Sports Pack the only option. My sales guy told me there was another one like it on the boat, as well as others with different options.

My VW search started at Chatswood Classic along with a colleague who was purchasing a Touareg. It was not a pleasant experience.

Update: spoke to Fergus' contact and they advised I was also in a week 38 build - looks like we may score our cars late November/early December <fingers crossed>

Change of plans. MY10 MKVI GTI 5 door DSG in red with 18s, leather and BT in my possession NOW!

So when did you guys place your orders again (like exact date) and what is the "Handover to production" date in NADCON? Just trying to get an idea of how the rest of us will be affected...

I placed my order and paid my deposit on the 23rd of June, I was told yesterday that my car is due to arrive in country on 24 November, with around 15 days after that to clear customs and allow for transport, dealer delivery etc.

Placed my order on the 2nd July and my car was taken from pre-ordered stock that the dealer already had in the system. Originally received a Vehicle Tracking Report that stated my car was to be handed over to production on the 4th September.

I have requested an up to date Tracking Report from the dealer so will see what the amended dates are when i receive it.
