MauenCaliSurf
So I’m in a bit of a dilemma now and I’d appreciate some sage words of wisdom.
I ordered a Surf on the 27th of April and (as I’ve moaned on here before, sorry) it still doesn’t have a build date. I know this sounds short for some who ordered last year, but it’s really starting to get to me when I’ve counted at least 10 people on here who ordered around the same time or after and have their vans on route.
I ordered through my local dealer (before I learned of DTD etc) and so I could maybe have got it cheaper. But they’ve been ok, no beef with them and they contacted VW who said the surf has been through an update which is why it’s been delayed. That’s also why it’s been taken off the configurator. No idea what this update is, and they still couldn’t give a date. The local dealer also have said they have a Surf in stock, it’s not exactly the spec I wanted but very close, but 5 grand more and without the happy camper event perks I got.
So I have three choices now: stop whining and suck up the wait, with no idea how long it could be, pay extra for the stock van and get it soon, or cancel my order altogether and go through DTD and lose my deposit but get an ocean for the price I paid for my surf but start the order and wait from scratch.
