Hi Mash welcome.
I ordered mine on August 13 and it is still sitting in NADCOM waiting for VGA to pick it up.
Each dealer is given a allotment each month.
Dealer say I might expect mine in March/April.
So April may be generous.
:goodluck:

Ordered Candy White Golf GTI, 5 dr, 18's, Leather, MDI - sitting in Germany waiting to come over - expected mid/end December
Also on order: Eibach Pro Kit suspension to be installed when it arrives
I have resisted the urge to contact the dealer since i signed the contract 2 weeks ago.
When should i start pestering to ensure the order has been placed in the system? (he confirmed on the day i signed that he had placed the paperwork in the proper place, whcih i assume means computer system and my credit card was charged the deposit)
I been pestering the dealer once a week - mine has a lady in charge of deliveries and her job is just to handle customers tracking cars coming in.
Just make sure a car is allocated and push for a VIN if its out of production
It's seriously not necessarily to "pester" your dealer once a week.
There's almost nothing they can tell you in the first month, and being updated once or twice a month after that should be enough for anyone....
Yeah after I got advice from here I gave it about 5 weeks from ordering before I contacted the dealer for production date info.Quote:

I was also able to see that I had been assigned a build date of Week 44 Day 1 so hopefully the car is finished now and will be loaded onto a ship very shortly! Now I'm just waiting on the VIN and for the car to hopefully be on the ship called "AIDA" ;)
Anyone know how long their car took from production date to be loaded onto a ship and depart port in Germany?
Just be polite with your dealer and I'm sure you will have a better than average chance of getting the info you require :)
Ahh that explains it.. I ordered mine on Sept 28th but mine hasnt progressed.. I was trying to figure out why given your newsQuote:
