Order cancelled by dealer.

[gh172]

A friend of mine has had a Polo GTI on order since January. The dealer called this afternoon to tell her that Volkswagen Germany have cancelled 15 cars, hers being one of them. No reason given!!! Bloody disgraceful. 6 months patiently waiting for your car to be told that.

It certainly wasn't without any alternative offer from the dealer, was it?

[gh172]

Dealer didn't offer any alternative at all.

100% certain there must be more to the story..

Just noticed you're in WA. What dealer?

Agree for sure that something further to the story, most likely at VGA or dealer level. VAG wouldn't just cancel 15 build slots, even if they ran out of parts. They would be postponed and built at a later stage. My thought is that the dealer has made a mistake and forgotten to put the order in or they have exceeded their production allocation and have made an excuse. If it was VGA, possibly they have exceeded their allocations as they are basically an importer.

Research further because the factory wouldn't just cancel builds...

Well, these are all cheap shots, since the other party is not present. Your opinions are based on hearsay. Re-read the OP 1st post and have a good think about it.

I will admit that mine is a cheap shot but based on my experiances at both local levels of VW representatives, neither are that cheap because it's exaclty the kind of bull***** stunt that they would pull. Hell, up until the week my car arrived, VGA still told me adamantly that my car would not be built until week 18, they only said "oh yeah" once I, nobody else, told them that my car was actually in the middle of the indian ocean somewhere, this is my VIN and this is when it was loaded onto the vessel.

Makes me think that if it wasn't for me having that information, I wouldn't have gotten my car, they would have allocated it to someone else.

So yes, more details would be more informative and get rid of the hearsay which I have posted and fingers crossed for your friend that what I have written is wrong
