Ordered my GTI PP white. ETA late November.

Woah, that's quick, we're still waiting for our GTI ordered back in July.

Red got me tempted. Also like the silver. Never doing white again.

I still reckon the white looks the best and it's the safest colour on road.

Apart from being one of the unsafer colours visibility wise there are too many silver cars on the road for mine.

Red looks good yes I admit

EDIT: looks like I spoke too soon... had a call from the dealer about 30mins ago to say that there had been a recall on some Polos and Golfs and mine is affected and they can't release the car until it's been checked / fixed which will be next week at earliest... (all over one little locknut to do with the oil filter)

Hmm, I wonder if this will affect our GTI delivery date ...

Hi all, I ordered a standard Golf GTI mid-July and was told to expect delivery "end of November".

I received the VIN today and this is what I get when I run a search on the 2wglobal.com site:

Can anybody hazard a guess when I might receive the car? I'm in Melbourne.

Thanks in advance.

I think we ordered our standard GTI around the same time so hopefully it's on the same ship as yours !

Would love to know how you got your VIN. Our dealer said they could only get it for me once the car arrives at their dealership

Give or take two weeks.

Give or take a few days or two weeks?

Regardless I'm getting EXCITED

Std GTI's were harder to find.

I agree red looks good - was tempted and was available now. But at the end decided too racy for me.

Yeah. Some of the other wait times are a killer. 4 weeks is about my limit!!

Well, the dealers clueless The VIN should be available to the dealer once the car is built (or very shortly thereafter). Then you can track its shipping journey from the Motherland through to Oz

Been meaning to put these up for a while… GTI PP in red, received about six weeks ago now. First time I've gone for red, and I have to say I love it!

Finally took delivery of my R this morning! Only had a 25 minute drive to work but loved every second of it!!

I ordered my R a while ago for January delivery. Rang the dealer about something else and asked in passing if mine was being built yet. 'Being built!?' He said. 'It's on a boat and will be here in a month'!

I still won't get it until January for lease and compliance plate (don't start build date vs compliance plate debate again). Looks like it'll be one of those annoying 'sorry, you can't test drive that one, it's a customers car. In fact you can't even get into it' cars for a couple of months. I wonder does that apply to me? He he.

It'll have a 2014 compliance plate if that's the case. The plate is affixed by Patricks after the car is unloaded from the docks and before it reaches the dealership for pre-delivery or registration.
