2019 lead times
Re: 2019 lead times
Ordered my Polo GTI end of November and it was available for delivery on the 15th May, although I didn't take it until the end of the month, so 5-6 months to the UK seems to be the rate for new build, only done 80 miles in it so far - but so far so good

Re: 2019 lead times
lucky to get yours so quick. By any chance, it is a stock build with few options? As I ordered my GTI+ tail end of September and it is still a few weeks away, putting the lead time at almost 9 full months for me.
Re: 2019 lead times
Yes you're probably right, the only options were wheels and paint - on a contract hire so haven't loaded it this time!

Re: 2019 lead times
Ordered mid March 2019, expected delivery week 28, which is right around the corner now I think I hit a low point on delivery times, as it was 10months a week before my order and again a few weeks after I placed my order.
It is a “custom” order, as I wasn’t in any sort of rush either, my current lease is still due for another 8 months I like changing cars often.
Re: 2019 lead times
I ordered the R-Line Polo beginning of May and was told there was a 20 week wait...
But now I've been told that because of the model changing over to 2020, I won't receive a build date till after August, and that my 20 week wait will start from then, but i'm on a waiting list so I may not get my build date for ages!!

This is much better than expected , it would appear that production speed in South Africa has been turned up to 11 !!!!

Re: 2019 lead times
That's great! - Really quick turnaround!
Though I really don't understand their order in making cars, some people seem to have been waiting ages, and others seem to get theirs built quite quickly.
Re: 2019 lead times
Hey, awesome!
Just checked mine and I also have stage 3. (Ordered j April) How do you know which build week it is though? I only see "Build week confirmed" n.b. this is the phone app right?

Re: 2019 lead times
You will have to contact your dealer to get that information.
Re: 2019 lead times
Awesome, thanks!
Re: 2019 lead times
Just spoke to the dealer, locked in to same week Initial estimate was 36 when I ordered in April. Dealer says slim chance it will be here (North West UK) end of Sept but still more likely to be Oct. See how it goes.

Re: 2019 lead times
I hope you test drove a Cooper first. The awful offset of the pedals crippled my left knee after a 30 min test drive.jonnymagnum wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 10:34 pm my father in law ordered his polo r extras (alloy wheels and led headlights) november 2018 has had 3 phones call in total last one last week, his car should be here next week, absolute joke,for a polo.

BMW group are quick to build cars - no order backlog it seems.

Re: 2019 lead times
Are there any Polo models that don't have long lead times, or that can even be delivered from stock?
I'm thinking of replacing my ageing 3-door Fiesta with a new Polo this year, because I now need to carry multiple passengers often. All I really want is an SE 1.0 TSI 95PS Manual. I'm not bothered much about the colour, although I'd prefer not to pay extra for paint. I might be prepared to pay for a SEL 1.0 TSI 95PS Manual if that has short delivery times. I want Front Assist and a spare wheel, but I believe those are standard on all models.

A quick search on Autotrader for VW Polo with up to 100 Miles on the clock came up with 290 available cars.HatchbackBuyer10 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 10:10 am Are there any Polo models that don't have long lead times, or that can even be delivered from stock?
