The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

7R · 26-02-2011, 06:28 AM

I did. When shopping the deal I was adamant I wanted something in stock and this dealer was adamant he could get me the car I wanted/had agreed to buy from a dealer in Qld within the week. So I made it a condition of agreeing to the sale that if he couldnt get me the car within the week I was entitled to a free loan car from when I signed the contract to when he could get me the car he promised. It will end up that I have the loan car for about 3 weeks by the time my car arrives. As it is I only drive it locally otherwise it sits in the garage. Plus I like that it is diesel so drinks only a bit of fuel. Quite a change from a worked 6.0l V8 I just came from.

Been a bit slack reporting this, too busy enjoying...

Picked up my third VW last Wednesday, get the fourth one next week.

This is what I got

Queen sapphire is almost here.

How many people here awaiting delivery from that ship?

Guys - i got a call from the VW dealership last week to say that the R i ordered in December is built and on a board a vessel heading to Australia!! This was great news as i wasn't expecting the vehicle until June/July as told by the dealer when i ordered the car. He said that i should expect to take delivery around mid April.

How do you guys find out what ship/vessel your cars are on? Im based in Newcastle so im assuming the boat will dock at Sydney/Wollongong (?) and then be placed onto a transporter up to Newcastle.

Is anyone else expecting a VW at around this time and know what vessel yours is on?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Congrats mate! Check out the "How to track your car" thread - first post gives you all the details on how to find out which boat you're on and track it etc.

I dream of a phone call like this...

Finally picked my R up on Saturday. Saw 3 on the way to the dealership, they seem to be everywhere now.

Awesome car, well worth the wait. I don't think I'll need to apr it anytime soon coming from a 90kw impreza...
