United Gray Golf VI 118TSI
Sports Pack
Tints (front)
Mats
Full tank of fuel
HURRY UP!
Did the literally say "We promise the car will arrive and be ready for drive away on 5/10/2010"?Quote:

I am relaying most of this information tongue in cheek as I take everything anyone says, especially car salesmen, with a massive grain of salt. It was never promised, just the usual "6 to 8 weeks MAX" then as I agreed to the sale "up to 6 weeks" then as the money starts to change hands "more like 10 weeks"!Quote:

Of course, you need to figure that naming error in your sig :)
Once dealers have advance "stock orders" in the system (as opposed to specific orders for customers), they can change the spec of the stock car up until the time the car moves to "frozen status" in the factory build schedule. Solitaire had a few cars (not allocated to customers) that were ordered on the factory back in January. They didn't move to frozen status until about a month ago, so because I got in and ordered my car just before then, they could change it to my spec. If everything went to plan, those cars should have been built last week (week 38).Quote:
