The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

Yeah, my limestone gray comfortline was ordered end of June and the estimate is early November at this stage. Just have to keep telling myself it'll be worth the wait hehe

I have ordered a limestone gray Highline TDI with xenons, driver assist and blade wheels. I have a 5 month wait for mine.. And it does not bother me a bit, good things come to those who wait

Sounds like a great combination! You will love it.

Me too, could'nt wait. Tried the ACC on the way home from the dealer on the Ipswich Hwy and it worked a treat. Took me a while before I had some confidence in it. Only one very minor annoyance - the radio. I can't seem to have the am presets on the same menu as the fm presets, works in my Passat but not the new Golf. Very minor issue though the rest of the car is brilliant.

Hi all, put my order in for a TSI Highline in the first week of June and still waiting..... . just got my VIN number from the dealer as it is supposed to be end of production now. Apparently i can track this and i've tried but no records are found, yet. Does anyone know how long it takes from now till it gets in the cargo and start the long journey down under?

I was given a end of oct/early nov delivery date.
thanks.

My 110 TDI Highline took 5 weeks to arrive and be delivered to me once it was ex factory and aboard the ship

Hey applegen,

I'm in the same boat as you (and possibly the car will be too! )... I keep checking the shipping company's website to see if it has been manifested yet & when it will be boarding the ship and thenarriving here in Melbourne - still no details on the site which is frustrating as hell!!!!

Volkswagen told me on Monday it will be ready for delivery in 9-10 weeks, way too long if you ask me... You may find some solace in the following link:

It has the shipping departure & arrival dates, ship name, voyage number etc... I'm predicting (or at least hoping) my car will be on the Tiger, due to depart 16/09 and arrive in Melbourne on 26/10 - if not i'll be mighty
