Should definitely know by now.

I was given a revised eta about 1 month after ordering on feb 5. It was originally due 10th Aug now 2nd week in june. I found that out on 2nd march.

I will be asking for a Vin for mine in the next 2 weeks as it will need to be on a boat by the 15th apr to delivered by june.

I disagree with Ohmang. A revised ETA is very different to a confirmed build date.....

I have been told the car is landing end of may. Pick up 2nd week of june. How can the dealer say that without a confirmed build date?

Did you get a build date/week from dealer? Best wait till you have that and a VIN. After that, it should be pretty smooth.

I'm not really concerned with what is happening or not with your car. I disagree with your comment that everyone else should definitely have confirmed build weeks within 1 month - because there are dozens of members here who can vouch for the fact that it doesn't always happen like that.

If it has for you, then that's great - but other people shouldn't be stressed after a month if they don't have a build date....

Took me two months to get a 'planned' build week. Agree with Corey.

**crazyray** · 03-04-2011, 10:26 PM

i agree with Corey on this one..

singed my contract in Demcember 6th only just got confirmation in mid march for a May Build and delivery in July for my R....

Well I'll be damned.. just got a call from the sales rep and my car is expected to arrive mid May. He proffered the VIN and I now have visability **WOOT** Seems to have been loaded onto the TOREADOR at Bremerhaven on the 29th of March...

Damn it has been a long wait...

I ordered my car only a few weeks ago. I was lucky to find one already allocated.

Build is complete and it is being loaded on ship this Friday as far as NADCON print outs.

I have Comm No. VIN No. and NADCON print outs of all specs and confirmed.

Spec:

5DR CW Golf GTI MY11 DSG 6
18" Detroits
Sunroof
Leather
MID
BT

Total under 52k on road.

Not sure if this is the best price around but it is the best I could find after some research and chasing around.

The closest I could get to a car with these specs and not too far away was around the 55/56k..

First thing I want to do is get a good window tint and probably tail lights done too.

Can't wait to get the car......

Finally got the call from the dealer today that my R has arrived at the dealership holding yard. Ordered in early December and have been told that car will be cleaned / rego'd / pre delivery checked and ready to pickup Friday.

I asked my salesman if he could take a picture of my car if he saw it in the holding yard......and behold here she is....
