The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Finally picked up mine at midday today, now with 900km under the belt she's loosening up nicely.
The weather between Sydney and melbourne was not exactly perfect photo weather though... Recaro's are super comfy - as good as the ProBax seats in the Lotus.

Heads to see VolksPower tomorrow morning for Stage 1. Looking forward to unlocking the true potential!

A collegue of mine picked his up on Tues (same specs except for recaro's) so we will do some stock vs stg 1 comparisons on two near new ~1000km cars.

Congrats, of course. I take it you drove it back to Melbourne from Sydney. Run-in done I suppose. Not that you had a choice but were you not a touch concerned that SYD-MEL might not be ideal trip for run-in?

I just made sure to run it in as my other cars. Plenty of load on the engine to high revs then slow down in gear to suck out the crap. I did a lot of that on the way down! Slow to 60, hard on the throttle for 10s, slow again. Making good power now and even more since Dean did a Stage 1 upgrade on it this morning!

Turns out his car has very similar plates To mine too! Both white R's with black wheels - GLFR and V GLFR

Cant be that long, GTI wait times are at the moment 4-5 months, the earliest 3.5 months.

Yeah - that's what the dealer said - 6 months. I comfortable with that though. Save some more $$ in the mean time.

Better to set a conservative ETA and then come in early, than set an aggressive ETA and fail...

Sure you have listed all your options? Discount works out to be ~6.5%. I think you could have pushed harder.

It has Euro plates as well - $400 and iPod cable. And full tank of petrol. Was quoted $48502.73 retail and got it for $45000 so thats 7.2% ?

You are probably right - I just did rough numbers in my head. Well, as long as you are happy.

Which dealership would this be?
