Just checked in on my car progression from the factory - it still hasn't moved to the port after 2 weeks of being built. Hopefully here before early Nov as the 8 series goes back then.

Anyone else any news?
Sometimes I forget I even have the car on order! Thanks for posting the new contact info, will give Nicky a call tomorrow.

Well, got confirmation that I have a car on order but no idea of BW, did say it's could be mid-next year until I see it!

Fairly relaxed about it at the moment as ALD have been brilliant with extending my current lease. Just hope it continues...

Seriously considering cancelling this. My regular work trips to the UK offices have stopped with covid and it's getting obvious they aren't going to resume. The car wil just be sitting as an expensive ornament. Great deal, if it was getting used
Thinking a used fun weekend car makes more sense. Can't see Arval transferring this deal to someone else for that price unfortunately.

Been lurking in this thread for a little while now with some interest

I ordered a car in January this year (22), was quoted 45 ish weeks then. I’m buying it as opposed to lease. Just been given an unconfirmed build date of week 24 effectively middle of June next year.

Interesting though when I went to a local dealer last week and asked about lead times they pushed a few computer buttons and came up with 40 weeks.

I’m going to hang about for it as it’s price protected and I’ve just seen a delivery mileage one with similar spec to mine and it’s 12k more expensive.

Good luck with your orders chaps

Dealer expecting it anytime now. I don't think it has landed at the UK port yet though. Not long now! Our new Touareg black edition arrives Friday.

Yeah happy with the wheels now I can see them in person. I had a bit of regret not going with the slightly more expensive all back option but quite happy with these.

Checked again today with Inchcape, mine still with a PROVISIONAL build date of week 19 next year... so going to be June/July earliest. Cupra went back 4 weeks ago, need a car so got a decision to make 😟

Sorry to jump on this thread as someone who sadly doesn't have one on order (despite it being a frustrating wait for those that do), but what was the deal that everyone got? My current lease is going back next week and I haven't got anything lined up furious
