I have resisted the urge to contact the dealer since i signed the contract 2 weeks ago.
When should i start pestering to ensure the order has been placed in the system? (he confirmed on the day i signed that he had placed the paperwork in the proper place, whcih i assume means computer system and my credit card was charged the deposit)
I been pestering the dealer once a week - mine has a lady in charge of deliveries and her job is just to handle customers tracking cars coming in.
Just make sure a car is allocated and push for a VIN if its out of production
It's seriously not necessarily to "pester" your dealer once a week.
There's almost nothing they can tell you in the first month, and being updated once or twice a month after that should be enough for anyone....
Yeah after I got advice from here I gave it about 5 weeks from ordering before I contacted the dealer for production date info.
I was lucky enough to be assigned a slot they had previously ordered in June (apparently this no longer happens?) for a showroom R which they changed to suit my specs. My dealer was kind enough to email me a screen dump from NADCON so I could verify what I ordered was correct with VW in Germany. I was also able to see that I had been assigned a build date of Week 44 Day 1 so hopefully the car is finished now and will be loaded onto a ship very shortly! Now I'm just waiting on the VIN and for the car to hopefully be on the ship called "AIDA"
Anyone know how long their car took from production date to be loaded onto a ship and depart port in Germany?
Just be polite with your dealer and I'm sure you will have a better than average chance of getting the info you require
