The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Corsa...

I hope they give you a decent loan car!

[Ohmang]

Gratz on the purchase. Be sure to follow up on that loan car if it's not here when stated... Got it in writing?

Honestly, I also doubt that the car will arrive in 4 months because all other dealers I contacted told me 8 months or even longer.
Hopefully like Silvrfoxx said, he's got the exactly the same one coming in.
But whatever happens as long as I can get a loan car from the dealer, I will be happy to wait for another 4 months.
Unfortunately, I haven't got anything in writing for the loan car but will follow up on that one just in case.

I reckon they have a dealer order coming in.

In fact, after my phone calls I can pretty much guarantee it...

Hi All,

I am a new member.
Today, I have signed on the dotted line for a fully optioned rising blue Golf R with black 19" except for the Recaros.
Unlike other members, I was told that the car would arrive in 4 month time from today. The sales person I dealt with today at barloworld VW in fivedock NSW was fantastic.
Although he couldn't guarantee the exact delivery date, he gave me a good deal and more importantly he said to me that it would take about 4 months to get the car which is not too bad at all. He even agreed to get me a loan car if he can't get the car for me within 4 months.
So overall, I was so happy that I just couldn't resist myself from ordering one.

Corsa,
I hope it all goes well for you.
unfortunately the reality is that it is at least a 12 month wait for freshly ordered R's, or so we are being told by other dealers.
Anyway, i hope your guy has a Batphone through to Wolfsburg.
You'll love it when you get it.
Just back from a drive, and I can still hear that wonderful induction growl.

Drive Hard or Drive Home!

Drive Hard or Drive Home!

I used to have that motto when I was single

Hey there Foxy,
when is your R due?
You ordered similar time to me I believe?

[SilvrFoxX]

July / August last time I rang.. original date was March 1st.. then May and now it has gone out further.. I really don't know.. but I ordered on the 21st of Spet. I have the Commission number, apparently they have the Patricks arrival date but no build date.. go figure..

Well Happy Days.. I started ringing around all the Sydney Dealers to see if anything was in stock or cancelled and I stumble onto my original Rep from Denlo over at Chatswood classic. Awkward conversation but I flagged I had no choice as I didn't know if my car was ever going to come up. He looked into the system and what do you know

1. Car is in Frozen state - can't be changed now
2. I have a build week of 11
3. Delivery date of the 20th of May
4. Expected hand over 2nd week of June

Now I could have done with that info much earlier...

Seems to be moving now

I know this is an ordering thread so hope its ok but as a few are starting to talk timing - is the wait time for the R the same as the TSI. I have been told different wait times by different dealers for a factory order- from 4 to 6 to 8 months? Just wondering if anyone has recent experience to share?
