The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Tortugas has hit Fremantle today ... now for the home stretch!

Yep. I said I wasn't going to check on the ship every 5 minutes but in the end, couldn't resist.

Awesomeness approaches.

dodgy fuel??

Dunno. Maybe. The salesman buzzed off to fill the tank just as we arrived to take delivery. He told me to use either Premium or Ultra. Wife and I were just trying to figure out what happened so checked the label inside the flap. Says to use 98.

Well that didn't last long. We've owned the car for less than 3 hours, done 20kms, and the catalytic converter failure light is on. :/

That's disappointing. Back to the dealer. Hopefully they can resolve it quickly for you. Probably just a faulty sensor.

Wife took it iin first thing this morning. They put it on the computer. Couldn't find anything wrong, reset the fault, and took it for a burn. It hasn't come back.

When we picked it up yesterday afternoon around 5:30, it was raining fairly steadily so couldn't really check the exterior. I got the salesman to note on the handover checklist that I wanted to check it when dry. This afternoon with the car under cover, I gave it a good going over. The paint's fine, but I noticed the front seemed to be sitting somewhat higher than the back. Yep, the yellow transport blocks are still in the springs.. Back to the dealer tomorrow.

Ok, after have chat with my salesman, I gave up my order and change to RB from CW, swap option from dynaudio to rear cam, the car have been made and it will deliver on Jan 12 or Dec 11 depend on the boat's speed. Feels happy now coz don't want to wait untill Apr for the original order.

dyljoy, I'm sorry for you because you are royally screwed by your dealer. Please let us know who they are so that no one else will suffer. I've been reading your posts.

actually it's not dependant on the boat's speed, it's a lot more dependant on whether the dealer is telling you the truth about the build and/or transit status .. in my experience dealers can be very convincing whilst nothing but sheer BS is coming out of their mouths

[dyljoy]

True, so I need get the VIN for sure asap.

[Corey_R]

Yeah - if it's already built, the dealer should already have the VIN...

I'm glad to hear that your dealer got their **** together and helped you out in the end. It's a shame though that you had to compromise a bit on what you originally wanted but arguably better than a 12 month wait.
