Im afraid confirmed build dates mean nothing . My 204dsg was Confirmed build week 32 (w/c 8th august 2016 , but it is still not finished and looking a possibility of week 37 now (but not confirmed as parts missing).To bring us back on-topic (I have just sold my house and could write a book on the subject of incompetent solicitor and deceitful agents - and I am a solicitor! - so it is not because I do not feel your pain)
Ocean 150, manual, 4Motion, diff-lock, sensors and camera, side scan : Ordered late May. Given provisional build date of wk44. Brought forward in July to PBD of wk 39. Now just put back to PBD of wk41.
Not sure of whether that helps anyone with their position in the delivery lottery. I will post again when I get a confirmed date.
Very sad, I was under the impression that VW would only confirm build date when the virtual parts bin was full (as explained some where else on this forum) enabling them to complete the build to the date specified.Im afraid confirmed build dates mean nothing .

I'm with you there with with several additions. Brandrup carpets are nice aren't they.My spare room looks like the inside of a Cali ... Brandrup carpets, toilet/tray, sleeping bags, window blinds and roof thermal insulation ... maybe I should just fit them permanently to the room!
My spare room still looks like a store room for the Cali - 6 months after taking delivery, 6000 miles and over 60 nights away - yes, most bits are in the Cali, but the room now gets used as a permanent store for camping food boxes, clothes - washed and put back in the e-bags ready to go - even when staying at home between trips, bedding, bottle holders for fridge (the bottles seem to come back empty...), etc...My spare room looks like the inside of a Cali ...

Thats what i was told as well ! Unfortunately The UK Volkswagen Vehicle Supply Manager has proven this to be another incorrect piece of information (see earlier post).Very sad, I was under the impression that VW would only confirm build date when the virtual parts bin was full (as explained some where else on this forum) enabling them to complete the build to the date specified.

I hate to act like a forum policeman but that's not quite right + VW Cali....Not to worry squire!
I ordered my Cali in late July. It already arrived, I went and sat in it yesterday. Picking it up tomorrow morning.
So your worries resolved. I shall open the bid for your extras at GBP 23.05.

OK. Most amusing. Thread is on Cali Delays and poster ordered in March. I happened to recall that you had purchased a Cali already ordered by the dealer so your post claiming to have ordered in July was misleading.Don't get it. I was trying to elicit a laugh.
My Cali bog standard, not specced, no accessories....
Please explain what was wrong, and why are you policing such a comment...
I shall learn something - just when ai was emphatically told that Cali have no profit margin for dealer whatsoever..

Have a laugh by all means but this is also a serious board trying to get answers to serious questions.

You my friend are being unnecessarily aggressive.Well, I think it would be beyond Superman to deliver a late July order of a Cali in late August!
Unless, I have missed something.
Technically, you are right it is indeed some theoretical possibility that it could have happened and therefore my statement was misleading. It was not intended to be, and seems a very hard stretch to claim that it is misleading.
But hey, you are the T6 CFO, and the moderator, so I shall defer to your interpretation no matter how implausible.
Be good.
You my friend are being unnecessarily aggressive.
My post was well intentioned as much as yours was misleading.
You wish to carry on being a smart arse then do so.
As I previously stated there is no problem with humour but your post without comment could easily mislead.
I am not a moderator but you most certainly have issues.
You may now have the last word as you clearly feel the need and have the ego to require it. Goodbye

Sorry if you all disagree with one another. If you still do can you maybe move it to another post so that those of us following this one are still on something close to topic...
