Status 20 – Factory ordered with confirmed build week of week 9. Hoping for delivery early March (ordered 2nd week of Oct). Holding our nerve with Bamboo Green is hopefully going to pay off and beat the VED raise.

Fingers crossed for you.

Build week 3 and already waiting for a boat, you should be OK

My van was build week 4, it left the factory 29 January, and is currently awaiting loading onto a ship. Dealer expects it next week. 3 weeks build to delivery to dealer takes yours to week 12. Your dealer should be expecting it week commencing 20 March. If you get it registered immediately you should just miss the new VED. If I am right with these timings, don't expect handover until early April.

I am told the dealer can register the vehicle if it is on UK soil and he has the VIN number.

That's also my understanding.

There are risks. Best wait until the dealer has it unless absolutely necessary.

Hi Tom, can you elaborate?

I would have thought that in order to get the Cali registered in your name you would have to pay for it and therefore accepted it without seeing it.
Should not be a problem but could be. Also possibly something you could negotiate with the dealer.

Most times a vehicle is registered before you see it. I don't ever remember being invited to see a new car I was buying without it being registered complete with reg plates etc.

If for some reason it needs rejecting you will need to de-register.
It doesn't feel right to be the registered keeper before being the owner.

Good point. Doh!!!!

Mine has just been confirmed for build week 10 (w/c 6th March) so desperately hoping it will achieve a 3 week trip to the UK.

I ordered early October so it's looking like around a 6 month lead time. I have had an unconfirmed week 11 for a while but recently moved forward by a week. I haven't made any spec changes - 150 DSG with a reasonable selection of bells and whistles.

Your order date, spec, build week and delivery week is similar to ours. Lets hope we receive our Calis before April.

I think this depends entirely upon the dealer. Mine - Parkway Leicester - wanted full payment before they would register the vehicle.

They then asked for payment 48 hours before because they do all the registrations from their head office. I refused. No way were they getting my money until the keys were in my hand. We then had a bit of a stand-off for a couple of days before the salesman managed to argue my case and they found a way of registering it at the time of handover.

Checked mine again today, has slipped again. Was wk15, now wk18.

Just had our Beach confirmed build week 11. Our build was 3 then slipped 4,5,6,8,10 and now 11!! (ordered 6th Sept from Preston). I have been very annoyed although not the dealers fault due to the increase in TAX. Interestingly the dealer had an email saying not to worry they will get the Cali to them before the end of March - bold statement I think I will ask to have a copy of that email. That was when it was build week 10 and I was assured it would confirm at 10 now 11 - we will wait and see.

He said today they have build week 6 vans arriving this week (week 7). Keeping everything crossed.... The dealer told me they can register the Cali as soon as it hits UK soil.

Yes, dealer just needs VIN and the vehicle on UK soil to register. Sounds as if your dealer is on the case. Good luck!

Thanks Jabberwocky - I am going to keep the pressure on VW as much as I can - fingers crossed..... :0)
