Unfortunately it is still showing as waiting at port of exit to board a ship. I’m
Thanks for the info, star man! Just checked with VW Liverpool now. It’s on the ship and code 39!!!
just found out my cali is already here. landed on sunday.
Awesome news, won’t be long now!!!
it can still take upto 10 working days to reach the dealer. i could walk it in ten days. that's UPTO . could be sooner, so fingers crossed.
Nice! Did you order a ocean?
A ‘bloody van’ which seems to have the longest build time known to mankind.
Mine was ordered in September, tow bar, 4 no, diff lock, tpms etc etc etc. It’s on way to UK soul today. The delays are indeed annoying but the van will get built. They will also honour the deal. Best wishes for a speedy receipt of your van
Wow sounds like my experience (October 8 order with tow bar and sports pack, both retained when offered earlier build). Friends have suggested I just cancel...but the only winner is the dealer...I’d probably end up buying my own van for £10k more!
It did occur to me too, you'd think the cancellations would be coming thick and fast but then there's no real alternative with few 2nd hand vans around at decent prices, and Ford, MB etc also with long leadtimes.
My dealer knows nothing, other than "they will be very minor".
I'm waiting for the Cali Chris video with baited breath!
Perhaps they’re hanging out for us to just get bored of the California dream.
its not just vans , we have been waiting 7 months for a toaster and our bosch kettle broke and they can't replace it because they have none. i went to my local motorcycle shop and they have no bikes, and can't get any new ones. i think micro chips are to blame for a lot of delays.i make parts for f1 and we are waiting for material all the time.
My cycle shop has just finally received a Schindelhauer shipment it’s been trying to get through customs for months...I struck lucky and they had one in my size...all either pre-sold or sold in 4 days
Well mine was on the same boat it turns out. It's sitting at Sheerness still according to VW Chat, no doubt parked up together. If you hear anything from Eurovans let me know, I won't say anything rude about them in case they're listening...
Good news. 4 months from order?!
Yes ordered 13 Feb or thereabouts... very quick comparatively especially since it has a towbar. My guess is that they want to get some Beaches out on the road to promote them
I know there’s lots of issues for many items mainly coming from the east. Lack of shipping containers, microchips etc. But to be a told some 8 weeks back when I’m 14 on the list that it’s either May without tow bar of June with then to find out it’s another 2 months is a bit rubbish especially when it seems other vans are coming through with the same spec items which were lower down the list back then.
