New T6.1 order delays

So just had an update from my dealer (Eurovans) today and our Ocean (Oct'21 order) has now been built and is awaiting shipping :cheers

It's been a very long wait but it's almost over....
What was your build week number?
 
Lead times are much better now, if you was to order today you could expect build to start January with some small delays if you choose a tow bar or 4motion
Are VW getting better or do they have less orders? Are we generally seeing 2022 orders getting built quicker. I might have to bring my plans forward if so
 
Eurovans Crawley have confirmed that my build week 35 Ocean ordered 13.10.21 (tow bar, 4motion, single colour) is due at their dealership on this Thursday, and ready for collection mid next week (from Mike).

I also got a surprise email today that my Ocean (ordered Sept 21) will be at the dealership on Thursday.

I knew it had left the factory a few weeks ago but seems quick, we must have been on the same boat

That is two for East Anglia. I imagine you are collecting next week, as am I.
 
I was told week 34 originally, when ordered ended up being week 43. Almost there, ordered Liverpool September 29 2021 been told its on its way from port in Germany and could be collecting October 29 2022from dealers . its a 4motion with options inc tow bar.
All things being considered with what's happening in the world, I don't think it's too bad.
its been a long journey. update coming soon :thumb

You may have to wait a few weeks whilst it sits at the port for tow bar bits...thats what mines been doing but just heard its been allocated the parts...they have got a team from the factory at the port fitting bits and bobs there to get them off the line and out of the factory...I reckon the whole tow bar thing has set back 2 months...i ordered with a school friend on same day and he took delivery 1/9/22.
 
I looked today and see that there is a ship in Emden due to arrive in Grimsby this weekend. Hopefully some vans will be on it. The ETA I was given, for ours, was end of the month.

Fingers crossed
 
I can confirm that my price quoted last September has been honoured this year so no price rise .paperwork has been finalised,so we are happy bunnies here.
I was told my speck vehicle would be £8000 more in todays prices if re ordered.That is a serious price increase it makes you wonder where these price increases will stop in this country (uk) not just on vehicles.

Not based at a dealership and not in a sales role.
Have you seen instances where the price has not been honoured? I was told all quoted prices had been honoured to date regardless of when the order went in
 
Ordered 6th August 2022.
Been told today it’s at the port - 21st October 2022
I think 3 months is a new world record :D
Happy for you, no doubt. I'm looking at a world record but at the other end of the scale. My 2 year anniversary comes along in less than a month, and still no delivery confirmation. it was reordered due to spec snaffu last May so I'm quite shocked by your timeline. Mine is also a 204, 4Mo.

Officially price protection finished on the 10/11/2021. However ultimately it is down to the supplying dealer if they can help or not.
