Disappointing, since the early side of that 6-8 week estimate meant it could have gotten here right as her lease is ending. That said, the $1000 September option allowance made it worth waiting as opposed to ordering at the end of August. My sales guy was right to tell me to wait beyond Labor Day Weekend. |

I've seen some on this board who have 240's already on the west coast.
And just for fun, I found out today that my ship is now 1 day behind schedule crossing the Atlantic. I'm beginning to think that this car is not meant for me...

My 240 has been sitting at the port awaiting shipment for just about a week now. I wonder if it's related to the other delays. Anyone else waiting for transport?

My car is currently on the Toronto. To add to my drama (see above in this thread), it is arriving as I type this 40 hours late to Halifax; it will be two days late to New York (my cars port of entry). With the way things have been going, I should have seen this coming. At this rate, I'm hoping to have my car before the 2018 models are released...

Hope your VW situation gets sorted out so you can get your hands on the new car! Too bad all that went down with VW - I really looked at those TDIs once upon a time before settling into a gas-powered A4 Avant. Great performance and mileage on those diesels, but now I guess we know how they managed it! |

They're great cars And most people are making money on the buyback......so much so that its foolish not to turn it in. If the 328d wagon was offered in a standard I would buy it in a heartbeat |

Yeah, I love a good hot hatch. I'd have been all over a three-door M140i or maybe stretched for an RS3 Sportback. But the way it is, we're taking on the M240i for my DD and weekend cruising and keeping the A4 Avant as her DD and our more practical vehicle. I'd say it still all worked out.

It's hard to justify the fix unless you're really in love with the car, and I've never met anybody in love with a Passat |

Went into production early!
I don't think there is any delay at the factory, if there ever was.
I ordered my M240i on September 19th. I was told it would go into production in week 42, October 16-22. I got notice that it went into production yesterday, two weeks early! I anyone is not getting a production # right when they order it I think that means your dealer does not have an allocation. They should be upfront about that with you when you order it. Pat |

I understand the skepticism, but in my case at least, the delay is supposed to be due to a parts shortage specific to the manual transmission. Who knows if it's true, but it could be.

Possible. But production numbers aren't as routinely disclosed in Canada since there's not much we can do with them (no online checking). I do have mine now, though.

I ordered mine a week ago and got a production # immediately. No production date yet, though. Hopefully there's no production delay due to MT, as I'm rowing my own with this one - first car I've ever ordered, first one with a manual trans after 7 years of auto's/dct's.

After a 4 month and 1 day wait, I finally got my car two days ago. It's a blast. (I'd like to say it was worth the wait, but the delays were brutal... Still don't want to be driving anything else though.)
Good luck with the rest of your journey!

Yet your post was moved by the mods to the very subforum I referred you to ...
Anyway: hope you get your car soon.
