Re: finding the right caddy how long did it take
The last one I found in germany via an app on the phone, called a friend which lives in germany and he called for me, price dropped and when we after 3 calls agreed we picked a date and picked it up. Took some months to create the van like it is nowdays.

After a week of frantic calls I finally found a cracker on Gumtree up in Leven, Fife.

No. That one was in Leven too but well modified and a fortune.
I just wanted a clean standard van.

Re: finding the right caddy how long did it take
Actively looking for around 9 months. Was messed about by vw dealers time after time, so with a lot of recommendations decided to bite the bullet and just go straight to GTE. So far service has been great and I pick her up tomorrow

Re: finding the right caddy how long did it take
I have been look for my 1st Caddy for over 2 months now (I'm in Australia). Found a awesome one. Was looking forward to posting a pic on here. Seemed to good to be true and it was. Had a test drive, negotiated a good price, talked the wife into releasing some funds. Had the cash ready to go but decidered I better get a history check before I went to pick it up. The history checked showed it had been written off 2 years ago. Best $30 ever spent. Still looking.

Taking me a while as I am still trying to get to grips with the models and specs.

Re: finding the right caddy how long did it take
Took me about a month to find a maxi that I liked, flew to Newquay for it hoping it wasn't going to be a dog, tbh only went for a caddy maxi as I couldn't find a nice T4 to replace my old girl,

Had my first one from someone else's cancelled order, second one was a factory order, think it was 3-4 months.

Re: finding the right caddy how long did it take
Well, it took me 9 months to find a spec I wanted but even then it was underspec-ed. It's strange and funny how we all struggle finding what we wanted in a vw van.

There was none available in Australia with all the options that we wanted (ALL) so had to wait. Apparently though with full options it will have colour display in the instrument panel.

Re: finding the right caddy how long did it take
I'm struggling to find one I want, seems like nobody speced their vans with tailgates
