Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to determine if the car is already scheduled or made to order? Or can the dealer really only tell you once the order has been put in the system? Either way, if I'm going to pull the trigger I should be doing it soon I think!

Your dealer can tell you if there is already a car meeting your specifications scheduled (it's up to them how hard they work here. One dealer may tell you none available, another may be able to "find" a car for you. Bigger dealerships with better network wins here!).

Once they have found a car, they can then look up in NADCON (their dealer admin system) for estimated time for production, shipment, arrival on our shores etc.

Once on our shores, allow 2-4 weeks for dealer delivery.

Edit: You can still ask for NADCON printout when you factory order a car (once it's accepted by VW.) people have waited up to 3 months for their cars to be scheduled for production. If you have already placed an order, then they should be able to show you the details on NADCON.

Refer to this thread for more information. How to track the car you have ordered?

You might also get lucky that a car meeting your needs is already available for sale here in Australia. In that case, you are probably looking at 1-2 weeks delivery time. Really depends on what you are after.

Thanks agentthumb. It's looking likely that there will be a point I either have one too many cars, or one too few (ie. none!). I have a way to work around the second scenario and the first will just hurt my hip pocket a little. The last 3 cars I've bought were all available that day, with two of them being brand new. Having to wait for a car is a new thing for me but I think the wait will be worth it

Definitely worth it! I'm waiting for a golf wagon myself with DAP2. Was lucky the day I ordered it, it was just finished off the production line. Now I just have to wait till June to pick it up (fingers crossed it will be mid / late May)

When I ordered my car and put a deposit down the dealer organised a loan car until my car arrives.
