New Polo - I've got one!

[Hail22]

My car is due to be placed on the ship tomorrow after putting an order in for my polo last Thursday, don't know whether it has to do with spec, allocation to certain parts of Australia or what not. 25th September after clearance from Customs etc. Best of luck Casper with the car mate

What specs did you order? You're very lucky to get such a good delivery time.

Not sure about you guys, Ive placed an order for a White Candy MY11 77TSI DSG, with sports package and Audio package on 17th of July, was expecting delivery at around Mid October. But now the dealer is saying mid December......

I would expect that to be correct....given the time frame we were given on a similar specced unit (Flash Red), ordered June, expected mid-November.

Just reading all your locations, most of them are WA, Vic, SA. Is it me or is there a shortage of Polo;s in those areas? like i ordered my car two weeks ago and its arriving on the docks the 28th Aug...i just feel surprised/shocked to read that most of you put orders in excess of 6 weeks ago, Might want to quiz your dealerships about this.

I have.....I am waiting for an answer tomorrow. However, it would seem that the WA dealers didn't expect that the Polo would sell so well, so they did not purchase many build slots. Dermott may or may not correct me on this.

Also, WA has had a run on new cars (due to hailstorms etc), and the new car market does not have a lot to offer for soon as deliveries (especially VWs).

Finally some good news on my Polo! The dealer called today to give me my VIN and let me know that it's currently on a boat. The boat is due to arrive in Brisbane on 9 Sept, and I should have it in my possession 2-3 weeks later

I have already put the VIN into the tracking website mentioned elsewhere on the forums to verify his story and it checks out.

It feels like I've been waiting an eternity! Only one more month to go...

That's very good news mate! Only 1 month to go for you

I ordered mine on 21st May but haven't been given a VIN number yet. I was told last weekend my car was on a boat due for delivery in early september. I was then told on Monday that no VIN yet but approx delivery is end of september/October.

It's been a long 3 months now for me I tell you
