T6.1 new order delays

[BuilderJay]

I’ve not been told of any price increase on my van. I did email my dealer but had no response. Im too scared to chase it!
I’ll find out when I collect it which I’ve been told approximately end of this month.

@BuilderJay I would be aswell . Can only hope that it is swept under the carpet .

Good luck mate sure it will work out . End of this month you will be delighted, slight increase or not

OK so I know this isn't a popular subject but has anyone who is due build or due to receive there van had any info regarding price increases , seems some pay extra some don't .

Spoke to dealer today and has told me they are expecting news in the next week or so regarding build date for mine . Still un confirmed for week 48

Hi. Mine is built and at the port in Germany. Ordered in Jan 22. No price increase. I ordered a basic panel van with a few extras.

A bit more info on vw’s van configuration page -

I chased my dealer around Feb this year and asked them to confirm or deny the rumours of price hikes - they confirmed .

However, they wouldn't say by how much and instead offered a "wait & see" response, as if they were in negotiation with VWC(?)

I haven't chased since.

I ordered through Lookers back in August and they hit me with a modest price increase 2 days later, but agreed to protect the new price for 12 months. I have absolutely no doubt I won't have the van by next August and will be hit with another price increase then. I am contemplating cancelling it at the moment to be honest.

Mine was ordered in Jun 21 and got hit with a price increase in April 22 which was then told its protected for 12 months

I had confirmed build week 41 10th October. 4 weeks now and no van built yet. Spoke to dealer to see if it had a chassis number .,but not yet
He said he will contact me once its left the factory.

That sounds a bit odd. I had a confirmed build week 42 and it’s now built according to the dealer. Are you dealing with a VW main dealer? If so ask them to send you a screen shot of the order so you can see the latest status yourself

Yes vw dealer. He said no more info
This happened to my mates, he got confirmed build date end of August van didn't get built, then a week ago he got an email to say van was at docks in the uk

Seems like they just don’t have a clue when they are coming! Hopefully the same will happen for you and it will just show up

Yeh after being told its in build for the last month just got an update and its built awaiting transport to port from factory

This is correct. Mine got delivered a couple
Of weeks ago without a camera from factory. However the dealers are fitting them as they have stock. Mine is almost complete. Wish you all well in getting your orders. I have to say it's well worth waiting in the end for those too spec orders.

So I had a call from my dealer today, my van is in build and possibly be ready for Christmas/New Year.. happy days, when I asked about possible delays because of the optional extras I have requested, he said that that shouldn’t impact on the build time, what he did say was that if I’d placed the order any later than when I did ( beginning of August ) then anything with tow-bar, 4 motion, power latching doors etc would now be at least a 12month wait as the factory tries to catch up with orders already placed, now thats a scary thought!!

Did you order in August this year or last?

 

[Monty1987]

It’s a sad date of affairs when we have to question what year we ordered our vans

 

[Carlwaynie]

August this year

 

[Scruffy]

So without trawling through the hundreds of posts, what wait times are we currently looking at if you ordered today. I ordered mine in Jan 21 and received it 53 weeks to the day, Jan 22.

Amen to that.

Ordered mine May 21 and it's allegedly being built right at this very minute.
