Getting close!

iigx, it's not patricks that cause the delay my friend, it's the dealership not asking for it.

when you have waited more than 21 days, then come back and complain, see if you can beat my record

I phoned up Sam, the Sales Manager at Osborne Park VW. He advised that on the Patricks tracking (or VW tracking) it still said it would be 2-3 weeks before it hit the dealership.

I dont even.

How can it take a car 3-4 weeks to travel a whole 15km?

I told the Dealer that I have a friend who works for Heliwest. If the cars not here by the 3rd week of Feb i'm going to airlift it to my house. I'm off to America for 6 weeks at the beginning of March.... would like to have a play before I go!!

Sorry dude but the dealership is telling you porkies me thinks. Compliance takes less than a day, coming from an ex-Patrick's pre-delivery mechanic. As soon as it gets off the ship, the vin gets flagged at VGA, they then alert the dealership (generally the stock controller) who then requests the car to be complianced and trucked to them.

Oh, as a side note, Patrick's tracking as a bit of a myth and realistically, only Patricks logistics staff have access to it, the only way that ( unless it's changed in 6 months) dealership staff can access it, is if they ring and speak to logistics...

They did exactly the same for me....i got my polo from off a ship..I ended up waiting 3 weeks because it was in some VW WA holding yard and apparently it was in the wrong part of the holding yard....OH and check your rims really closely!...i have just found that my front left and right alloy wheels had damage and that they painted over it.

time to send the dealership an angry email then!

[gavs]

Maybe, but then is that really going to speed it up? "I heard on the internet that...." isn't a good way to get things done

Just wait, the wait will be over soon. I know it's hard but speaking from experiece, it makes the phonecall to come pick it up all the better.

I'm hopeful that I have the car before the end of next week.... I am off to America on the 3rd of March to go to GDC so we'll have to catch up in April
