good work~hope u can sort it out soon

Well, sorted it out I think.

Would love feedback on the following. I've read through the MY12 thread (the only one I could find) and one other person had a similar situation but they ordered just before the MY12 changes were communicated officially.

I placed an order with the dealer very recently for a built Golf R with specificed options.

Since then, that vehicle was taken by another dealer (another story) so we confirmed another built Golf R and now ours, on the boat.

Now, here is where I am looking for feedback. We were told (and listed on our contract) that MDI and BT were options but the build date of the confirmed vehicle makes it a MY12 where they are standard. I am assuming the dealer will now remove those as listed extras and we wont pay for them. One option (ACC) was not available so that will also have to come off. If this is indeed an MY12 vehicle, surely the dealer should have known they were standard and we should not be charged for them ?

I am tracking the vehicle and it is on the Fidelio, due in late August. Build date 22 June 2011 (which is MY12 I hope)

I guess I should have done my homework and known what was standard and when MY12 kicked in but I relied on the dealer ...

Pretty cool being able to track the boat. Makes the waiting fun although cant imagine what it must be like waiting 6-8 months ! (mind you, I did wait 5 months for a vehcile I bought a few years back, a Subaru of all things)

You need to sort it out between you and your salesman.

You signed a contract with an agreed price. So there is no obligation for any change to be made. But if you've confirmed it is an MY12 build you could bring up the topic, and if they do, then you're lucky. It's completely unreasonable to expect the full price of the options to be removed unless you actually paid full price for the car

That's the plan tomorrow

Was just interested in people's views on a standard item being listed (and paid for) as an option

In my case, I am hopeful it was an oversight by the dealer

Hey Robbo!
Is your car showing as discharged yet? How exciting for you. The Glorious Leader is lost in the Indian Ocean somewhere! Might send a lifeboat.

G'Day langers, yeh it's showing discharged (quantity 1) Could have thrown in a GTI as a gift pack, geez VW are miserable. lol

Glorious Leader shouldn't be too far off Fremantle. Aida took 11 days to make the crossing. Pity Glorious Leader doesn't do voluntary weather reporting every 6 hours like Aida did. Never lost track of Aida because of this.
