Lots of people on the Facebook groups being phoned by dealers to say cars are at the port but system still showing 00, also lots of orders jumping straight from status 10 to 30, all seems a bit fubarred atm
Hi Guys,

Hope everyone get their order soon!

Ours is a life pro, with assistance pack plus and andoya’s in Makena. Suppose to start build 27th June. But hasn’t moved off status 10 for 12 weeks, would have thought build would have locked 6 days out, but it seems the dealer system is all over the shop at the moment.

Fingers crossed it’s already built or going to be built next week 😊

I had a call from my dealer today advising that my car is very likely to arrive beyond the 12 month time limit for the Gov grant. My car was ordered on the 9th of Sept and is expected to be delivered in October. They remain confident that they can work on the package to offset the loss. I am in the process of buying a Born from stock so will not cancel until that deal is completed.

Still holding out hope that it will be moved up like some of you guys!
Hey. Is that the EST loan in Scotland? I asked for an extension mid march as that's when the 4 month limit was and they extended till end of September but the email sounded like it was as far as they were planning to push things. Be good to hear if they are open to extending past that point as that would reduce my anxiety slightly.

Yes it is, here is what they said.

“ Thank you for informing us, the maximum extension we usually do is until 30th September 2022. However, could you please provide a letterheaded document from the dealership that states the delay and has an estimated delivery date on. Once received I will forward this to management for approval.”

Did you go for the VW PCP to get the £1750 price reduction? I’m still trying to figure out how it all works but someone on here said you cancel within 14days and you can keep your discount. EST approved it with the discount showing on the order confirmation so I’m hoping it will be OK!

Ah that's good sounds like they at least might entertain it. RE PCP no given the finance is coming from the loan I assumed that wouldn't be allowed on either the VW side or the EST side. Be some good going if it is mind. £1750 discount and a 6 year interest free loan.

Repaying of a PCP in order to benefit from finance contribution was always within the rules when I was working at Audi and then with BMW, it was frowned upon a little by sales people advising customers of that being a possibility as I hurts the business/finance managers retention rates, but to be fair not all that many customers used to pay it off as rates back then we’re usually quite favourable.

I did that back in ‘21 to get the 1750 discount. Absolutely fine. Not available now though of course…

Yeah it was more the EST end that I thought might have issues. The loan is for purchasing a vehicle and I just thought paying off PCP wouldn't be classed as purchasing a vehicle. I know very little about PCP and the EST loan though. And sounds like so far they haven't had issues.

Quick update that I managed to get a VW order number and a status update of "Still waiting for a build slot to be confirmed from the factory" which equates to 0 i guess.

Looking at the order spreadsheet i see no logic in the way cars are being built, even for those of the same model it seems random, you'd hope they'd build them according to order date but earlier ones are left waiting and newer orders are built. Obviously we are only seeing a fraction of what the order list actually is but it's frustrating to see more recently ordered cars getting built. I wonder if some dealers have more leverage than others?

I suspect they are focusing on getting cars out that are approaching the 12 months from order point, so avoiding the grant expiry issues

Just updated my sig with what I know of my order with Plan Leasing for my Pro S Tour, not sure on when exactly they ordered it other than they advised around 10 months ago.

Currently build week 41!

Come the end of the month, when I get my monthly update from the dealer that'll be 8 months since I ordered. If there's no progress by then, even moving to status 10, I have zero faith it will be built and delivered in 2022. For a bog Standard Life model, with no fancy add ons, is very poor. Its only compiunded by VW shocking updates, and greed as they continue to release more/bigger cars. As many have said, there's no ryhme or reason to how its decided what is built first.

With this, and the obscene cost of living and energy bills set to sky rocket again come autumn, this may force my hand to cancel and stick with the ICE car for another few years. Will see how what the next couple of updates are before calling it.

There will be some logic it's just not obvious to us based on the data and it's probably fairly complex and likely weighted towards maximum throughput/profit rather than length of wait. It will take into account availability of parts, options and date of order but will likely include various other things. If dealers are assigned batches of slots then that could be a factor. Type of order retail/fleet might play a part. Who knows.

After 2 months, finally an update from my dealer! My build slot has been pushed back from week 35 to week 36. At this point i'll believe it when I see it and the car actually goes into build, but at least the build weeks have so far stayed fairly stable for my car.

Had you been moved up from from later on in the year? A lot of orders placed in September/October ‘21 were sitting at a build date of May/June were all bumped to Sept/October.

Just out of interest, does anyone know when the next model year comes into effect, just wondering what myself and others with current October onwards build weeks can expect, and of course how long are the prices likely to be protected for, I've only just ordered mine via the lease company and the order I have taken was placed last year so not sure what is likely to happen, I dare say I'm as much in the dark as many others on here.
