Wow, that’s very quick, mine was ordered in January which gives me hope.
T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874
- Start date
Not till I have the keys in my hand
Whereas mine was ordered May 21, which gives me indigestion!
Rang the dealer yeesterday, now back at status 00. From following this thread I was expecting that much more than seeing the van actually arrive
Hi wondering if you have your van now. I ordered nov and had build date of 18th may now told 8/12 week delay waiting on tow bar and Devon port wheels.
That may help explain why my LWB 204 DSG 4Mot Highline that was ordered last June, has just been moved back to week 29 (July). It seemed like a good idea to include a factory-fitted tow bar in the spec. I shot myself in the foot it seems.
Even with a mistrust of alleged delay issues I actually believe this one as I ordered a westfalia tow bar for my partners merc and that’s still missing 4months later ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hi, unfortunately not! I've been told its got priority build for May but I haven't heard anything yet. im keeping everything crossed. just over a year now since ordering! getting more impatient but hey what can we do! did you order yours November 21?
Yes nov 21 spec was high but am thinking I was very unrealistic on delivery expectations
You never know. Deliveries seem to be all over the place! I was told September when I ordered mine last may.
Ditto re no date, and on Friday I'll be "celebrating" a year since I ordered
Given that you ordered at the beginning of the year and you're due your van end of June/ start of July, I don't really think you can complain about a tow-bar slowing your order.

Ordered July '21. Originally advised Week 19, now amended to Week 35. Price increase so far: £4800, with at least one more increase to come. Was given the option to cancel with deposit refunded, but that was hardly the issue. I do at least have my current T6, but it will be 4 years old when I sell it, rather than than 3, so any notional increase in value of the new van will be cancelled out by the diminishing resale value of the existing van. Mirabilis!
Initially thought your post was an eyesight test!!
Re price increases, AFAIK VW have relented partially and reinstated a form of price protection for vehicles ordered before end of March 2022. Now, for such vans, the price will be held at the December 2021 list price (which should mean no further increases for you).
Appreciate that may be of limited comfort to you, but I guess it's better than no price protection at all.

Sadly not. Queried with Listers last week. No price protection at all. I suspect close to £6k extra by the time it arrives.Initially thought your post was an eyesight test!!

Hmmm... strange.
In early April I received the following email from Autoebid confirming the above (and I'm aware that others on this thread received similar emails)...
Hi Paul
I hope you are well.
We have been advised that the invoiced price for your order will be fixed based on the December 2021 list price for your specification and not subject to any further price changes regardless of delivery date.
The dealer will be in touch separately in the coming weeks to confirm this price with you.
If I can be of assistance in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Admittedly, my dealer hasn't yet been in touch, but that's just par for the course unfortunately.
I'd say without confirmation from the dealer, that e-mail is utterly worthless.
You're welcome to your opinion and I'm free to ignore it.
