T6.1 new order delays

[VWSAWKS]

Ordered my Sportline SWB back in early November (2021), Just been advised its now status 10 for provisional build week 22, I'm not holding my breath but thats only 5 weeks or so away so who knows.

My dealer advised it's approximately 8 weeks from build to arriving at dealer

Mine was shipped from Emden Docks on 27th March and it arrived at the dealers on 22nd April.

Yours looks great…..shame the same can’t be said for that hideous thing parked by its side

Well I’m off to Liverpool Van Centre today to collect my 6.1. It’s been in order since July and was predicted for May so it’s slightly early. According to the sales manager I have escaped the price increase by a few days as Liverpool have to increase prices from May.
Top job by Liverpool Van Centre everything considered.
Keep the faith everyone and good luck with yours.

They're not the best build quality, feels very tinny.
Although saying that, mine isn't perfect. As the sales guy said, you're paying all this money for a shoddy non-VW interior.

I’m the same. Off to Lancaster Van Centre (another Swansway dealer) today to pick up mine. Also escaped the price increase. Predicted April/May delivery and the dealers have been great.

As Vodders says good luck with your orders everyone.

Any Fourmotions in this recent flurry of late arrivals?

What a lovely comment from the salesman.. Although it does worry me when you say tinny, I'm guessing this is why everyone has them sound proofed and insulated. My Renault Trafic still feels solid after 72k, it's not tinny and has never been sound proofed or insulated and only cost me £27k I think when I got it. My Sportline is going to cost me £58k Inc vat and that's without any discussions regarding this price increase that's being mention on here. It is making me question whether or not I'm doing the right thing. Sorry everyone, just had to brain dump all that. Have a great day

I believe the "tinny" comment was aimed at the T7(?)

I was talking about the new Caravelle/Multivan build quality.

There you go. Extras were tailgate with wash, no bulkhead, reverse camera, rubber floor towbar and the metallic paint. Would have liked the LED lights and Sat nav but hell. I spent enough.
