T6.1 new order delays

[N3DXT]

The dealer called today to advise the van has gone to status 10 - provisonal build week 28. Second time the order has been to status 10 so I'm not holding out any hope, only 5 weeks or so away though I won't have to wait long to find out.

I've also got an Audi Q5 order in, that's been status 10 for the last 3 weeks but provisional week 41. I didn't think they gave provisionals for that far ahead!

Just been in touch with the dealer, now showing as status 10 for week 48. pretty much what I expected to happen. Looks like I won't be taking it to Busfest in September then.

Maybe mate...I didn't know a choice of new reg numbers was a thing offered.

Well it really did happen. Dealer emailed a list this morning and has assigned the reg number I picked off it to our van. Awaiting an update now on next steps.

Oh cool...were you in luck with closing an appropriate reg, or was it a bit of a non event?

Wonder if my dealer will do the same?

There was nothing particularly relevant to us or stand out to be fair. We did pick one that could be sold further down the line as someone's initials. It also meant we could pick something easy to remember and avoid some crazy z combinations.

Mine does that.

Just been advised build week 28, so with me in “mid August-ish”.

Is that an estimated (status 10) or confirmed (status 20) build date? I’ve got a LWB 4Motion DSG in Pure Grey on order with an estimated build date in Week 28 too.

The mail says ‘Confirmed’

Ordered a Sportline in September '21, with expected delivery for June. Update yesterday to say there was no news. Guess I will be waiting at least a year then.

Still no news on my sportline black edition ordered 16th April 21 either...

 

[Stueyphoenix]

Paid up today. No price increase. Dealer aiming for Saturday collection if it clears PDI in time. It is starting to look like it is really going to happen after almost 13 months.

That’s got to be the longest wait for a Black Edition

Yep! Hopefully it won't be too long now.

Its all getting a bit ridiculous now!!!

Its all getting a bit ridiculous now!!!

At this rate, my van's going to turn up just as the market for Diesel campervans nosedives, Diesel rises to £2.50 a litre and VW launches a T7 electric van suitable for conversion to a camper.

 

[Shockabilly]

VW are just taking the piss...reduced production & profits through the roof; call me old-fashioned but its just plain racketeering, its basic corrupt economics, restrict supply & see prices rocket & that profit comes after they've settled many law-suits for tampering with MPG figures.

Getting? Has been for a good while.

What are trade in values like at the moment, going to dealer next week to see what our van is worth with possibility of an August delivery but thought market was not so bouyant even with current new build delays. Prefer to trade in due to being Vat registered...

Straight van or part/fully converted?

My dealer can only offer straight van px value despite our outgoing T5 being part converted with a tonne of factory for extras. Offered 50 percent of what I have already been offered on a private sale basis.
