T6.1 new order delays

[Scruffy]

Just had the phone call to say my van is at the dealership

Good for you. What did you order? and when did you order?

 

[Bodger]

Me too Ticsmon...... Happy days!!!!

 

[Trickle]

I hope they don’t say mine is ready, I haven’t got the money yet.

 

[Bodger]

Haha... yeah I suppose all these delays to peoples new orders gives them time to save - I knew there was a bright side here somewhere!!

 

[Woodman]

Good News Ticsmon and Bodger, can't believe after the long wait I have had mine 3 weeks today, and already cut a 'kin' great hole in the side for a window since the van I actually ended up with didnt have the rear quarter windows, and I am impatient.

 

[Ticsmon]

I was in the same boat as Ozi and a few others were my first order (November) though a third party got cancelled, so reordered through main dealer in Feb.

Wow, that’s quick!! I thought mine was pretty good, I ordered the start of December... it got to the port of exit in Germany mid March - been a long time getting here from there though!!

You are lucky… ordered dealer in Nov still no build week. Then another for week 17 in early March now week 28 best. Also went with third party too in Sept . Well done for getting through the quagmire. #TheNationalVWVanDealerLottery

 

[Scruffy]

This all just confirms my suspicion that some dealerships have been taking orders knowing full well they have no build allocation left.

 

[Bodger]

It looks like some vans are quicker to build than others.... mine's only a panel van, so probably partly explains it being relatively quick

 

[Ticsmon]

The only thing I can put it down to is the fact I ordered the exact same van again and it already had a build date before it was cancelled. So when I reordered the van was already in the system

Been a long frustrating journey but it finally arrived today. To say I’m chuffed to bits is an understatement . Might just have to take it for a drive tonight

Crack on. the colour is even better in the flesh than in the brochures. Definitely the right choice for me

lol rarely use that crap. It has its place in some constructions though as it is stable.

Imagine a joiner turning up at your house to do a job and that being his Reg
