I was lucky. I went into Pickerings in Townsville at the end of May looking at a Passat wagon and was keen on the TDI. Only problem was my current lease ends at the end of Aug. Fortunately the dealer was able to source a vehicle that was already on the boat heading to a dealer who hadn't sold it yet. It has everything I need and I wasn't to fussed on the colour (reflex silver).
It left Aukland yesterday and should be in Brisbane on Monday. Signed the contract on 6 June and should have it in my hands in the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, was was never interested in a VW (although always thought they were a class car) but thought I would look at everything that was in the size/price bracket I was looking at. My other options were Calais/V sportwagon, Subaru Outback/Liberty or heaven forbid a people mover. I sat in the Passat and was sold almost immediatly. Then i drove one. I cant wait to get my hands on it.
