T6.1 new order delays

No e-mail for me, maybe because I ordered directly form a dealer....

ill give it another couple of years then ill probably cancel my order! :eek:

Maybe VW will follow Ford and start supplying them 'unfinished' too! :fast rofl:
 
All of my order was direct with the vw commercial dealer that I was introduced to by Autoebid. My contract to purchase is with the vw dealer. Autoebid just do the leg work and feed back to me each month. I have also spoke to a named contact at the dealer on several occasions. I think the email was just advance worning of what the dealer will be telling me in the next few days.
 
First posting. Great informative forum guys. Been keeping a close eye on peoples experiences with delays as I ordered a new T6.1 on 7th September 2021. Well- picked it up last week from SMG at Tonbridge:):cool:.
Was a given a build week 8 in December 21 not that I believed it after reading this forum. Arrived in the UK on the 25th March just in time to beat the new price increase:).
It seems my dealer will be passing on an increase to all new vans registered from 1st April 22.

Spec:
VW t6.1 Highline panel van 150ps DSG.
Tailgate with LED upgrade and ABS front splitter.

Just had the factory 16" alloys replaced with some 20" AXE alloys. Awaiting to have a KW coil over kit fitted in the next few weeks. Interestingly there was definitely a reduction in ride quality once the 20" where fitted which some may still find acceptable.

Hang in there guys. The day will come.

Pick up day:

Well... sort of. Your comment last week implied price protection was to be reinstated for orders made prior to 31 March ("...anybody with vans on order up to The 31st March will not have to pay any extra or any price increase..."), but the reality is that all price rises up to the end of Dec 2021 will be applied and then VW will protect this new, higher price.

Think my order status is currently -712, which equates to "Sorry! We've just found your 11-month old order form stuffed down the back of a radiator - we'll get on to it right away". :rolleyes:

It's only taken me 12 months to get to that stage :eek:
