How long does it take to build a VW from scratch?

I spoke to my salesman this morning about adding factory fit options and he told me that they started building the car this morning so he's not sure if it's too late. 2 hours later (about 3:30 factory time) he says they've completely finished for the day!How long does it take to build a VW from scratch?A typical car takes about 2 hours to pass from one end of final assembly to the other. It will enter final assembly as a painted body shell, and emerge from the other end as a completed car.



It will take about 6-12 man-hours of labour, but there's more than one person working on it most of the time.



In a high-volume factory working to full capacity, one car leaves the line about every 60 seconds.How long does it take to build a VW from scratch?apperently my b/f says that once the car has been ordered to whatever specification you asked for in the first place it cannot be altered once gone into process because there's hundreds getting made thats why you have the choice of factory fit options when ordering the car.How long does it take to build a VW from scratch?I thought I had heard it all......

Your salesman is a dolt. Factory installed options are added on the assembly line by a process called line orders. If you think that your car is the only one being built in your color with your options, then think again. Insist that he make the changes and if he refuses go somewhere else to make the purchase. He is trying to sell you a car that is probably already ordered from the factory and is scheduled to be delivered. Salesmen never lie do they?How long does it take to build a VW from scratch?
VWs take a really long time to asseble just because so much is screwed. you would be surprised how many cars are glued together these days. I read somewhere the MKV GTI takes 50 Hrs to put together. Anyway yea options are installed off the line in certain amounts. It's ur car that ur buying the stealership dosnt have to push you around allthough u can push them around. Your final call on the deal.
