Good Eve chaps,
Quick question, I ordered my car about 8 weeks ago, still at stage 3 - build week confirmed - the question is: how long did your cars stay at Stage 3, and did the car get delivered within the 12 week time?
I got mine from the factory in just under 8 weeks, although I only had paint and a tow bar as options.Quick question, I ordered my car about 8 weeks ago, still at stage 3 - build week confirmed - the question is: how long did your cars stay at Stage 3, and did the car get delivered within the 12 week time?
I didn't register for updates until about 4 weeks after the order was made, I got a text to say it was at stage 5C of 7 on 15th April and stage 7 of 7 on 23rd April.
Hi guys, new member here. Have spoken to my dealer today. They have not given me a good news at all. According to him, VW have put the Touareg building on hold for the time being. All the updates on the Order trackers we have access to is only being managed 'offline'. Updates should happen sometime next week or the week after.
According to him, my provisional build date was Week 22, but now it could be around Week 26!!! But he is not willing to confirm even that, he mentioned he will be able to give me a more accurate picture sometime next week/week after.
FYI I placed my order on the 1st of April.

Currently negotiating with my dealer for one of these. Any chance any of you chaps want to share with me what you're paying? As my dealer is struggling to get anywhere near some of the deals I have seen on the web etc.
Im looking for a basic car, just Met paint. 24months, 10k, not much of a deposit.
Feel free to PM anything through to me....

Decisions...

They've got an E63 for £489+vat, but the BIK is the best part of a grand on top, makes the Treg seem quite reasonable.
They'd probably sell me a 458 at £3k a month, with £2.8k BIK a month on top - but it still doesn't make the Touareg any more affordable to me I am afraid. I'll look at some personal deals or try getting something with a lower P11d and BIK rate. Cheers.

At the end of the day the only cars bik makes financial sense for me are silly city cars or EV vehicles. The PHEV was the nearest I got to pulling the trigger on a company 4x4, but it is a low rent donkey compared to the Touareg IMHO. The decision is yours.....
Did you try to get any explanations to that?
I spoke to VW customer services directly today and they gave me the exact same explanation which my dealer explained. Basically my car which was given a tentative build week of week 22, got postponed to week 26 because of the biannual upgrade VW do around week 22 and week 7!
According to them in the next 2 weeks I should be seeing a change in the tracker.

I can't believe how torquey this engine is and how early it kicks in, it even makes a half decent noise under acceleration, and that's from someone that has come from a V8 diesel.
I spotted a possible glitch in the audio system, my iPod artwork doesn't show up, but artwork does show if you use the SD card slot?

Got to agree the engine is sweet with lots of grunt, quite surrpising how quick it can hustle it along given the weight of the thing, even with just half throttle. The ZF 8 speed is smooth and really well matched too.I spotted a possible glitch in the audio system, my iPod artwork doesn't show up, but artwork does show if you use the SD card slot?
