I must have missed something here I shall be looking for an Acapulco Blue roof. I thought you had the same colour - obviously not. Bamboo Green - that is the longest wait colour. You must be a saint!
Just had a Christmas present! Just been informed my Status 10 has changed to Status 20 (22 weeks to get there). That's a confirmed build date. The week? No change, so that means week 4. On track to avoid that nasty VED hike? Looks like it. Its getting exciting - at last.
And my blackberry
Well - we both had it wrong:
Should stand out in that sea of white!
Another hazard of changing specs on the way maybe!!
Ah! Travelling incognito. That's not fair!
That looks like a big British Gas fleet order for Caddy's going through...

Oh, but the anticipation!! Excellent news, particularly after such a long wait. Nice name btw. And you avoid that nasty VED increaseHappy Christmas indeed JW
I now have status 'Code 38' 'In Port of Exit Released' which basically means it has been built and will be spending a lonely christmas stuck in the Emden shipping port
But hey, Mr.Blu will be home soon...My dealer says it will be here in january.
For those who may be interested, I paid my deposit on the 18th of May 2016, so it will pretty much be 8 months from start to finish. Its going to be a long xmas!

Any pictures, haven't actually seen an Acapulco Blue in the fresh and there isn't many pictures?Picking mine up tomorrow from Guy in Preston
Hi Lennox, here is a link to earlier post - recent AB delivery - visually identical to my order incidentally.
. We'd worked out a suitably epic place to park up but, by the time we got there, it had started chucking down and we didn't want to get wet....
I wish white was the shortest lead time, ordered 3rd week of September and been given unconfirmed build date of wk 17
DSG? Or other long lead-time item - some alloys, dealer allocation delays? Its a complex matter. I make that 31 weeks. Mine will be 27 at best - longest I have seen during my wait is 54 weeks! Others 41, 38, 33 etc. Regrettably its part of the experience.
I contacted my dealer last Friday.unconfirmed build date week 16. Its gone back 2weeks.I think you have a month on me. I doubt I will avoid the tax change.@Hantshog Are you still unconfirmed build at week 16? Mine is still unconfirmed at week 4. Oh, I ordered end August but now getting rather frustrated as others seem to be shifting forwards but seemingly not mine!
Still hoping to miss the dreaded VED increase though. Need to stay positive
Since I sent my post I have been confirmed at week 4. I hope your build date can come forward as do detect some optimism on the forum what with VW shake up. Redundancies and renewed customer focus etc. Fingers crossed for you.
same here very excitedYours and mine will be on the track together!
Oh well it's no point in worrying about it as, I don't think I'm going to avoid the new tax changes
Got my fingers crossed for you.Oh well it's no point in worrying about it as, I don't think I'm going to avoid the new tax changes
