T6.1 new order delays

Haha if I knew that I would be all over it, yes cant believe how lucky I have been, its got a fair few options aswell so was worried it might have got pushed out but its only around 2 weeks behind where it should have been! It was a order that the dealer submitted back in May but they changed the spec to what I wanted.

Even with it being a May order, that’s still quick!
 
Well the wheelchair conversion company have said they can start work the 1st week of Jan and it will take 4-8 weeks. The only plus side is it will probably be on a new plate. :(

I'm afraid I've been putting-off that call tbh. Not sure I want to hear I'm on the hook for a few more grand, but I'm hoping to grow a pair later this week. :D

I've ordered a T32 LWB H/L Kombi, 150, DSG with electric t/g, latching slider, LEDs, heated seats, removable tow-bar. There are a few other options but, hopefully, nothing that exacerbates the delays. How does your order compare?

You need to make that call sometime!
I’ve gone for T30 SWB H/L Kombi 150 DSG, LEDs, electric tailgate and sliders, rear camera, heated and swivel seat, 80l tank. I think my van is causing the semiconductor shortage!

I was told if you didn’t have a confirmed build week, it would’ve been pushed back to next year. The dealer has to submit orders to the factory in date order. Have you spoken to the dealer?

Latest from my dealer last week is that its still not showing a build week, for the second time, after lots of prov. build weeks and then its drops off....frustrating to say the least!:cry: Ordered mid march..lots of semis!

Spoke with my dealer last Saturday and asked about price rise and build date. They were very non committal stressing that as they have zero news on my van (no build date) they don't want to say anything either way. They did say that they should have some fairly concrete details by the beginning of December. Not sure what's happening then but we can live in hope.
Ultimately not particularly useful to me as if it's coming after March then it's back to the drawing board as it will be quite a bit more expensive....than it already is

Ordered Feb 6th.

I think the dealers are getting a monthly update from the factory rather than the normal system updates so they’ll get refreshed info at the beginning of the month.
 
My company visited our local VW and Ford commercial dealers last week to enquire about a sizeable order of panel vans. Ford got the order because the commercial terms were better, but mainly because Ford could deliver next year, not 2023.

My saga continues. Dealership can't release the van as vwuk and vwfs can't agree on the pricing as it's going on contract hire. Deep joy.
