Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[MagneticZero]

Look, this really is just a repeat of what others of us enduring the wait had to deal with, but if you ordered a car in March, I highly doubt you will even see it this year. Why? Because people who ordered cars in December 2010 have been quoted September/October 2011 delivery.

Fair enough I was just concerned about the fact that the dealer doesn't seem to want to talk and is avoiding all questions. Just anxious. I'll wait it out like you all did haha

My car landed in Melbourne Ports on 17 June and the current status is 'Discharged 17 June 2011'. I picked my car up yesterday and I don't have nor have ever seen 'Delivered From' on my car's status. From landing to collection it was just over 2 weeks.

I think lowlee got his car within 10 days of landing, but his car was offloaded in Port Kembla. You never know your luck in a big city....you could get her on the 11th.

Oh cool, thanks for that info
I've been anxiously waiting for my status to say "Delivered From" on the tracking site when it must be a Nadcon status lol.
I seriously can't wait to pick up the car! I haven't been sleeping properly ever since my car landed in Melbourne

Ha ha. I had seen 'Delivered from' mentioned in the forums before, and like you, had anxiously been waiting for it to appear on my car's status. When I got the call from the dealership saying that she'd arrived at pre-delivery, I thought 'where's my delivered from status?'

I do have a confession to make though...I had to drive my Astra today to get a roadworthy so couldn't drive my Polo in. When I got home I sat in her for about 5 minutes, just breathing in that new car smell. I think I need professional help

Ahhh, the scenic route. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying your new GTI.

So far I've only driven my car from the dealership to home. I had to take my Astra to the mechanic yesterday for a RWC and I pick her up today so I haven't had the opportunity to drive my Polo yet I can't wait for the weekend though.

I can aleady see into the future.....8.00 am on Saturday....'See you honey, I've going for a drive. Don't know when I'll be back home. Don't wait up for me.'

VGA is on damage control with too many great publicity.they want to compile our data email details to sooth our boiling temp.least they can do is to provide discounts to all the unhappy customers on this long unwarranted queue.

Purchasing a new car is always exciting! (As it always should be!)

Dream on Will never happen. The Polo GTi is just THE MOST WANTED small/hot hatch in the world atm. Demand is much higher than what VW can supply, even with their billion $ factory upgrades.

AND, add 3 months for shipping from the Fatherland...

So i called my dealer today with the tiniest amount of hope that i might be able to pick the car up this Saturday the 9th as it was discharged on the 1st.
But dealer said it has only had 1 out of many things done on the Patrick Auto Care tracking page, and once complied and everything it will be at the dealer within 48hrs.
I wish i could log onto the Patrick site and track it myself.
Oh well, hopefully the car comes next week

Hahaha! Just wanted to cheer myself up and kidding too, with the obvious hard facts rather than getting angry.Hopefully my old seat ibiza can stay alive till the polo arrives.
