Update. Asked the question. Reply almost straight away with invoice amended by £200. Many thanks for pointing that out.
T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874
- Start date
I'm guessing you named your price by asking the closed question: "Are you prepared to knock £200 off the invoice as a goodwill gesture to compensate me for a greatly delayed delivery?".
If you'd have asked the open question: "Are you prepared to make a goodwill gesture to compensate me for a greatly delayed delivery?", they might have offered you more (...on the other hand, they might have offered you less!
).
Any of you guys had a price increase from the original purchase price quoted??
Change of plan for me. A few weeks ago i cancelled my van as work was very quiet but a change in circumstances meant i cancelled the cancellation and luckily, they hadnt processed it. My van turned up today at dealers so will be picking it up some time next week. Was hit with a £800 increase but reading what some on here have gone up by, i was lucky. Ordered end Sept 21. 150 dsg highline with sat nav, power latching side door, rear window with wiper, twin singles with swivels and carpet in cab. Oh, and Bay leaf green which has now been discontinued.

Ahhh I’d love to see a photo when you get it please, I ordered a bay leaf green shuttle in January. It’ll give me something to look forward to if I see your lovely photo It’ll be a while before ours lands in our driveway
Will do but you can have a look in the bay leaf green section too. Think there's a shuttle in there.

Hi James
Had a call from Listers this morning, my van has landed in the UK!!! I can collect next Wednesday. I think ours were probably on the same boat. Have you had a call yet?
Had an email from the dealers today with a build week of 36 which translates into 05/09/22 
he also said it’ll be around four weeks from build to arrival in the uk and a further four weeks for the sportline magic. So if this does not slip……..IF lol, it should land beginning of November ready for the winter salt to rot it out

Well Well Well.
JCB Sittingbourne called me this morning!
It went like this....
Hi it's JCB Sittingbourne here, we have some news (after 7 months of zero contact with VW)
I thought he was going to tell me the van had entered the production phase....Nope not that!
Yeah your van has been dispatched and it should be with us shortly, how are you placed to receive it (only last night I was thinking maybe I could buy something sporty)
Err yeah good I think I said, when is it going to be here?
Let me check, Oh its at Sheerness, 2 seconds, oh wait its going to be here by 11am today..
And there she was in the compound, picking up on Thursday next week.
I would add that my salesman alone had about 10 delivery folders on his desk, sure some are caddy's and crafters, but a few other transporters were also in the compound.
So my journey (7 months, which I recognise completely is luck, in fact very lucky) is a few days from being over.
Indium Grey 150 DSG
I had LED headlights
Heated seats
Rear window
Rubber floor
Detachable tow bar
Uprated suspension
Second battery
and a few other little bits
Ordered last week of Jan 22

Very nice buddy, bet you’re well pleased!
That rubber floor, seems to be a madatory £252 selection when you add a power tailgate which is a bit annoying as I will be converting mine in to a camper. Does it look like it’ll come out in one piece?
