The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[SilvrFoxX]

One reason I'm not looking at a vehicle in stock is the price. If I could find one close to my spec I would end up paying $,000's more than the one on order so I am just trying being patient.

Same Same...

Sometimes when it's 1am, and I can't sleep even though I need to get up for work at 7am, I just get dressed again and go for a drive in my R... seriously, it's that good guys! You'll quickly forget the wait once it's arrived.

I have been debating whether or not that it is a good thing participating in this forum ( or any other VW forum for that matter) as I am divided in thought if in fact the discussion about shared experience of the R is making the situation better or worse.

I realise comments about how the pain of the wait will be forgotten post delivery are in good and positive spirit but it is a fact you are no longer waiting..

Does my head in.. makes me want to ring the dealer and wring any remnants of information which in 4 months they fail to have about when my unit might arrive, knowing that I will be told 3 things 1) not the original date they indicated on the contract 2) 2 months later than they told me last time and 3) they have no idea

I figure if I shut down all stimulation it may ease the frustration

Have almost finalised an order on a new Golf GTI (DSG). Keen on your thoughts on whether im getting the best possible offer as im a first time VW buyer

5dr
Carbon Steel
18" Detroit
MDI
Sat Nav w BT
Leather
Sunroof
M1 Tint
$52600

Quoted $1200 for Park assist inc camera, etc or $700 for rev sensors

Have been told by a few people that it's a good deal - what is depreciation like?

Qns - is leather heated? Electric standard or optional?

Thanks for your advice and thoughts!

[Corey_R]

Mate the price is fantastic... over 10%.
Park Assist is $1400 and camera is $500, so $1900 option for only $1200 is great. It's a factory option though. $700 for Rev sensors is standard... although if that includes the dealer installation, I guess that's fine.

Leather includes heated seats and electric lumbar support. Electric seat adjustments for the drive side is $600 - but doesn't include memory (it does include 8 way adjusting instead of 6 way though, if that's important to you).

[SilvrFoxX]

Well it depends.. when do they say it is going to be delivered.. it sort of becomes irrelevant after 5 months waiting

[United13]

Delivery whenever im ready tp pick it up!!

I assume that would mean no electric seating adjustment would need to be factory so not available to me unless i want delivery in August by the sounds of it.

Price includes corporate discount and under Novate no GST is payable so i guess im laughing by the sound of it?!
I should probably check on the camera/sensor price - maybe i have the park assist thing mixed up, the sales person wasnt THAT generous but sounds like he looked after me!

[SilvrFoxX]

Then you indeed are in the black.. congrats on all counts

Cheers - here's to joining the VW club (and hopefully keeping my license after the speed upgrade from a princessly SP23)

I ordered my car on 7 Sept and took delivery on 5 Jan this year. All up 3 months wait but like a lot of the people here, the car is so worth the wait. Very happy with the purchase (but then again, I'm coming from a 07 Honda Civic so it's a massive 'upgrade' lol)
