How to track the car you have ordered?

Mines on the Tortugas. Very happy when I got an email last night saying it was in range of Melbourne, then another email this morning to say it had docked.

Only a couple of weeks now!

Go Tortugas.

+1 for car that was on Tortugas. Was a little worried with the Spanish translation for Tortugas = tortoise but nonetheless it has arrived on time. Dealer sent me NADCOM screenshot of it at bond documentation stage today.

2-3 weeks before delivery of new Golf R, absolutely cannot wait.

I'm shattered! That's 2 more months of waiting plus I've sold my car.

Not happy Jan!

Just to give you an SA opinion on things. My car was built early September and was due to have been delivered by early November but unfortunately there has been some transport damage and I'm still waiting but should be before December. So a two month turn around is possible if everything goes smoothly and your dealer puts priority on everything along the chain when it arrives in port. My dealer went behind my back and pushed for an earlier build but I think now that you've got a build week allocated, there is no other way to get it faster unless there is one already coming with your specs which you can grab.

Sorry to hear about the missed target of feb but I think late march/early April is very achievable.

Right. After refusing to do the tracking thing (prefering to hide in a hole) I got cc'd into an email between the dealer and the finance people. There is the VIN glaring at me to do it. A quick cut & paste later...

It's on the FIDELIO. Currently on it's way out of Baltimore and due in Melbourne 6th January. Now I'll be checking the damn thing every day.

It should make it from Melbourne to Wodonga by the 24th Jan. Shouldn't it?

G'day Guys

My dealer told me yesterday that my GTI had moved to "Scheduled" status meaning it would be on to build in 1-3 weeks. Any idea when I could expect it based on recent experience? (dealer estimates approx 3 months so late June/early July delivery).

cheers

Used to be 4 months, or longer if your car was more unique (as far as options, paint colour, etc is concerned). A standard white Golf would generally arrive quicker than a fully kitted out Rising Blue Golf R, for example. I believe they do a bunch of the same coloured cars in one batch.

Thanks Ryan, mine is CW plus sunroof, nav, rvc so a few add-ons from std

Does anyone know the meaning of "Delivered from" on WW tracking website?

[entice]

patricks have your car, cleared customs, and now needs to be "built".

HI everyone.

I know my golf landed at Port Kembla on the 29th Dec. Dealer is saying 14 days plus a few days due to holidays.

Does it really take that long to wash and vacuum a car? surely they can PD it in a few days?

Cheers
