How to track the car you have ordered?

[Ozram]

thanks guys, but actually I don't have my vin no. yet. From the order contract there is a blank below the vin No. Is there any problem? Maybe I should call the dealer to get the vin?

cheers

Hi mate,

You should call your dealer to see if he has the Vin No. I take it you have managed to get a MkVI that was already built and on a ship over here. My own experience was being given a batch number from the dealer and a build week. Once it was built I contacted the dealer and got the Vin from them. I am now tracking mine using the website listed above. Mine arrives in South Africa on 16/7 and then docks at Port Kembla on7/8.

Thanks mate, mine should be already built and on its way. I just don't feel good that the dealer treated me so differently before and after signed contract.

I wouldn't be too worried Ox, it took me about 3 phone calls to get the Vin out of them, I think it's just slack assedness on their part. Keep at them though, they eventually get sick of you asking and will get it, not the way it should be of course but a lot of dealers are like this. Jason is spot on with the post arrival time, between 2 and 3 weeks is normal from arrival to delivery.

The dealer will definitely have a VIN for you.
I didn't have any drama in geting my VIN out of the Brisbane dealer I'd ordered through.
Keep at 'em!

I recently went through this with my S3 and wrote it all down in the Passat forum, of all places. It has since been moved to the General Discussion forum:

Hi all,

I ordered my GTI a few weeks ago and spoke to the dealer this morning. They told me that the car is due to land on the the 24th of August and expect delivery sometime in the middle of September. At the moment they have a build date in June sometime but no VIN number. Just wondering if anyone else is waiting the same amount of time for their GTI?

Is the link on page 1 of this thread still the right one ?

Is Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics the only carrier VW uses ?

I have had my wife's VIN for about 10days now but nothing comes up on the tracker ....

Any thoughts ?
