Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[payno]

I've all ready told my boss that as soon as the call comes thorugh, I'm outta here!!

haha good commitment. The way I see it is if I pick up on a Saturday morning then I can have the whole weekend uninterrupted with her .

You guys better be prepared for the onslaught of photos!

Payno, I just got an email from VGA saying that because mine was a priority build (after I complained so much!) that the first arrived GTI in my specification has just been unloaded in Fremantle and that it is being sent over here as soon as it's complied and out of quarantine to be in my hot little hands next week!


Sorry dude!! I just couldn't resist stirring you, you lucky sod!
Enjoy it man, I can't believe how quick the time has actually passed!! Remember when we were all bi*ching about the stupidly long wait and why we couldn't get any dates?! Seems like only yesterday!

I just got the call from my dealer and my Polo is off the production line and I have a VIN, it doesn't show up on the WW site yet, probably just a bit too early.

Anyway I guess I am going to become an amateur shipping expert over the coming weeks.

See you all soon!

Had to put my Polo on the backburner unfortunately... I needed a car sooner so called the dealer and got bumped to the back of the queue, to give me time to earn a bit more money and justify the rego and stamp duty on another car in the mean time.

10-12 months now, and to everyone else waiting who just got bumped forward one: You're welcome

Welcome and enjoy the ride. Probably give it 2-3 of weeks to get onto a ship and on the WW site, that's how long most of us waited

Was 34 days for me - If you have the ETA Data screenshot from NADCON you can get an estimate of the departure from the port with the "Departure Last Port of Transit" line - Mine was one ship off (I got the ship one before the date on the NADCON screenshot indicated)

Hey guys, how long after you ordered your cars did you start getting information through NADCOM from your dealers?

I ordered mine on the 18th of February with a deposit. Now its 3 months later and they haven't given me any info still. I've been told to expect early 2012 delivery, and I'm fine with that given I ordered so late compared to everyone else here who is expecting 2011 cars. However not being able to garner any information from the dealer at all is disheartening...

Any ways to go abouts forcing/prying information out of the dealer?

Cheers

Considering your delivery isn't till 2012, there may not be anything substantial the dealer can give you unfortunately. You maybe could ask for an order confirmation from the NADCON to ensure you are getting the correct car with the options you selected when signing the deal.
