Polo gti 12.5

[iigx]

I picked up the extended warranty as I plan on keeping the car for 6+ years. YMMV. If you are only planning on having the car for 3 years, maybe skip it. However given any potential oil issues will be resolved well before the 3 year period is up you should be fine without it!

Also for those with the RNS510... If you get an RCD510 as per standard with the Polo GTI - i assume upgrading to the RNS510 is alot easier than say RCD310->RNS510? I am considering an RNS510 myself, but wiring in the GPS is my biggest concern.

Can't wait give it a good run. Ive only had about a 2 month wait. I got a cancelled order or an unassigned car on the boat over here. I dunno what i would have done with a 18 month wait!

What is the ask for extended warranty? if you were going to sell it after 3 years you would have an easier task if you had it but would you get your money back?

went to pick up my polo this afternoon only to find that the sat nav doesnt work in the pre inspection.. needless to say im not impressed that they did not check this before i came in. Not too happy with the dealer at the moment

What was the reason the dealer gave for it not working or for them not checking?

Waiting for a 77TSI with sport and comfort pack + few other options and would hope it is all good when I pick it up at the end of august...

Try ringing before you head out to dealer.

Dealer probably failed at coding for the RNS, typical... Don't sweat, it'll probably be all good once they get off their asses and get your car with the RNS to someone who actually has a clue (you'd hope one exists at the dealership).

Re the eBay cost of the RNS, these "refurbished" units for ~$1k exiting out of Luthania, or sometimes the UK if they're smart enough to have a UK address on eBay, are not legitimiate competition (read: stolen). $3.5k is pretty normal from the dealers and you would probably still expect at least $2k from legitimate alternative sources.

I would assume the dealer gave you a day and time to collect the car? This in mind I would not expect to have to second guess whether the muppets had done what they said they would do!

Any clues on the dealer location for future reference?

Picked it up last night.. The problem was something to do with the signal.. Probs wasnt plugged in haha. Great little car tho.. Feels much bigger then it actually is!
