I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[Vwvw1212]

OK So I just got off the phone with the dealer & he told me that there seems to be a glitch in the system which they are trying to confirm & figure out with VW Oz as mine & a few other cars on order are now showing a later build commencement date & delivery date of early Oct....I have gone from originally a May delivery, to June & now potentially October....WTF....He made the comment that maybe the push back is cause of back log of MY17 builds & they could be slotting it into MY18 production queue??.He will tell me more as soon as he knows...

That's terrible! I am in the same boat as you, not sure when you ordered but mine was in December. Told it will be delivered May then a month ago pushed back to end of June.
If I get that call from the dealer I am going to cancel my order. Don't really care for my18 in October. Early October could mean November or December with VW schedule! Rather just buy another car now or in June when all the deals are on.

Damn. If this is true then it will apply to a few of us.

I feel for you guys - I ordered mine back in July 2016 when the prices had been released and about to get the car next week. That's 9 months of waiting!

I ordered mine 28th Jan and it's built already, expecting delivery in June. There is no science to it, seems it's also a bit of dealer differences as well, maybe due to allocation etc, it's a weird one.

I've referred a couple of guys from this forum that have ordered my18 RLINEs coming late September- October.
My dealer is taking orders for my18 now

I asked my dealer if I could make sure my car is MY18 and she says there is no way for them to be able to specify MY18. Apparently simply depends on pot luck in regards to when an order happens to be allocated a build slot. How is your dealer making sure he is ordering MY18? Is he just holding off on placing the initial order?

Man, lucky for you....Is it a 162TSi with all options? (mine is).

I think it depends on how many cars each dealership get allocated. My dealer is taking made to orders for my18 now

Yeah and all options apart from the roof.

Hey Gladbach,
Just got off the phone with my dealership and they have told me mid to late April delivery. The car has already been in the county for two weeks and it now looks like 4-6 weeks for delivery since landing in Australia.
Let's just say I'm not too impressed - was expecting it next week.
