I was thinking that they could be 199's late arriving, which would have given a registration problem. They can't be 204's, as they aren't expected to start being built till after build week 6. So supposedly they are all 150's like yours. That would answer the question.
They confirmed yesterday that my CW51 Coast is still in build. No reason given other than it went into build 14/12 and is still there, they did say the factory was closed only a few days over Christmas, no big 2 week closure.
Lots of chat on another thread about provisional dates now being pushed back by 10 weeks. (Us included). I was told by VWC today that our provisional build date has been bumped to 31st May having been ordered 30th November. So 6 months plus the build/ship weeks from the order date.
Stu@rt OMG 10 weeks ! That's pants, I guess the only other option is to cancel and buy dealer stock or used. Personally I'd sit and wait it out to get your perfect van, your time will come
Yeah. Was only prompted to contact online chat again after reading about others saying the same. I only contacted them a week before Xmas and was told March 22nd. Today its 31st May. Big push back eh?
Are you going to wait it out ? I would as used and dealer stock prices are just going to get inflated even more. Very frustrating though...
I've read about some people buying used vans while they wait for their new van, perhaps another option if you want one for spring ?
I guess so, but after dithering and researching for well over a year and eventually getting brave enough to place the order in November, I'd stopped the daily check of classifieds and autotrader. Started again today after the online chat! But you are right....nothing that is the same 'value' as being patient. Not even sure when too much eta slippage is enough to justify a cancellation without forfeiting the deposit. Just need to sit tight and hope it might get bumped fwd a bit #wishfulthinking
Is it possible that VW sets most of the orders (due a lack of pieces) to 31/05? We ordered a Coast in Belgium in June, and last week the delivery date changed from January to week 21/2021!
Thank you.
Wow. That's a bit of a shock eh? But I like your positive thinking and hope that you're right. Good luck.
Worked yesterday when I contacted them
Funny thing is i tried all day yesterday without Success then by chance the little bubble turned up. Bottom right of the web page at. 21.55 which was a surprise
Whats the latest on your order Jenny? How close are you now?
Bit of a theme emerging here eh? Lots of us being pushed back.
That is pretty poor eh? Are you getting any regular updates from the dealer at all?
they do keep in touch but to be honest I don’t think they have any more information than me plus I contact VW chat occasionally but only get the same message my order is accepted but no build date has been allocated.
Hi Stuart - when I contacted them yesterday they said my build commenced on 14th Dec as scheduled & to contact again today for a better update.
That sounds really positive @Jenny H Exciting times ahead eh? Don't forget, we need photos! I'll be keen to see the flooring upgrade for sure.
Really not getting excited just yet as so much poo in life to sort out!
I read delivery is normally 6 weeks after build so that takes it to the end if Jan, likely it will be later than that because of Christmas delays, I hoping so anyway, would prefer it Feb time but will be happy to just get my van
