Sorry to hear that mate. Best of luck with your hunt for another vehicle. A 250 Cup would be brilliant. But given all their hype, perhaps the wait will be just as long?

Not at all... there's plenty of them in stock at the Renault dealers... you can even take one for a test drive for a weekend if you want, lol.

Really? Hmm.... if only I had another 20k in the budget.

Farewell guys - I rang CCC yesterday and cancelled my order. At least the guy in line behind me will be happy. I wonder what the wait is on a Megane 250 Cup?

Take a bow VW and CCC. Sorry to hear bud but they really were taking the p*ss.

Hi guys ... I ordered my gti with comfort pack, sunroof, blutooth and upgraded audio on december 16th 2010 and it is on a ship due to arrive 26th August 2011.

On a side note anyone know how long it takes from ship to dealer??

[Tim]

generally up to 2 weeks. Sometimes quicker

[gavs]

Bet on at least 3.5 weeks, at least then you won't be dissapointed with the wait

Yep, plenty on carsales etc.

I think demand for them dried up after the renault fanbois got theirs. They are also in the Golf R price range once you get into the Trophee model.

True, but it will wipe the floor, then crap on said floor and wipe it again with a R

[Corey_R]

But who cares... it'd mean you have to drive a Renault day in day out, lol.
Hence why whilst you waited months and months for your Polo GTI, you could walk into a Renault dealer tomorrow and drive away with one in the colour and spec level you want

Oh, and btw... for the money of the Megane Trophee, your Polo GTI will wipe the floor... and STILL be a nicer car to live with

Ordered on Jan 29th thankfully right before the Feb minimum 12 month wait crap.
Got a build date for week 26 - week beginning June 27.
Current status is having left the factory and on a train to the docks in Bremerhaven, Germany. Still hasn't arrived at the port.

If it gets to the port before next Monday and fingers crossed the ship departs some time next week, 6-7 weeks shipping time puts the arrival date in Australia end of Sept/start of Oct. Allowing for 2 weeks at the Melb. dock put estimated date of arrival at the dealership by my calculations around October 14th.
