Carwow website is indicating a lead time of 8 months for a Polo GTI. Assuming this information is still current, that would suggest delivery around June / July if your car was ordered last November.

Thanks for giving me your information that you know but still don't understand why they can't give me an idea of build date plus I asked the sales man what was going on and he could not give me any idea what's happening at VW. Considering all the GTI addition 25 where all sold end of November 23.

By ‘all sold end of November’ assume you mean that orders for all of the UK allocated ED25 GTI’s had been filled by that date rather than all customers had taken delivery, as there are seven ED25 GTI’s advertised as brand new / unregistered for sale on Auto Trader.

As for why your dealer can’t give you a build date; historically, VW have often been very poor at communication - both internally within VW and with the end customer. There’ve been many instances over the years on various VW forums where dealers have had no idea what is happening with specific customer orders as the ordering and build system hadn’t been updated to show the current build status by the VW factory building the car. So I’d say it’s highly likely your dealer doesn’t have any information on the build status of your car.

If you’re able to get your deposit returned, then you could consider one of the 7 unsold / unregistered cars currently on Auto Trader - that’s if you’re prepared to travel for the ‘right’ car and can be flexible on colour and spec.

Good luck 2 u Monty. my order was placed in September. now the estimated date is late september.

The two I'm aware of, both ordered within a couple of weeks of each other, one is confirmed week 23 and the other is unconfirmed week 33. Both have sunroofs.

Had an update from the dealers about the GTI 25ED, hence why there is no build date

Theres a parts shortage:
1, Alloys wheels
2, The leather for the seats.

Sounds like a load of bull to me

If there’s a shortage of leather it’s not enough bull.
