Polo GTI Pricing and Specifications Thread

Is it safe to assume that anyone who ordered in the last week or two probably missed the January cut off for allocation?

I would say the answer to that would vary dealer to dealer, and based on the reactions of the customers in line before you in relation to their wait times. So no, it's not safe to assume that (which is a good thing in that case!).

In any case, you really need to talk to your dealer.

Received a call from VGA and have been advised that my order is slotted into build week 13 with an ETA of June/July. Strange, as my dealer confirmed the same ETA from VGA, however, his build date was week 9. Maybe dealer has not got the latest news

Dealer demos should be coming up for sale soon I assume. Do they still keep them for 3 months in NSW for tax purposes?

I was told today that my dealers allocation for the polo gti was 4... yes 4 cars for the entire year. Apparently its not set in stone as of yet, but seriously that's pathetic if true. They also mentioned that 12 people had orders. I ordered mine mid december so I guess ill have to wait and see.

I got a call today, my dealer is getting 7 for 2011. Despite ordering a few days before it went on sale I missed out, I was told I could keep my order and hope for delivery early in 2012, but that wasn't guaranteed.

It's easier to buy a Ferrari than a $30k VW......

Time to decide on a different car.

I'm not sure why VWA paid to advertise on TV, billboards etc for a car that they refuse to sell to people!

lol at this. im in the market for a car but im selling the one im currently driving. im in no hurry obviously as my current car serves me fine, i just want something newer.
for the price range $30-40k, there r heaps out there, and i would never buy new. im leaning towards a near new golf gti, or even bumping a little more and getting a 2yo audi s3.
i wouldnt even bother with the polo gti for the next 6 months, but im a patient person i guess, i dont need to impress people with the latest and greatest

6 months? Those will be when the very first ones arrive, add another 12 months to that for any hope of getting one. People aren't buying them to 'impress' anyone. It's a brilliant car with great value, just extremely annoying that you can't actually buy one.

Same with my dealer. 4 allocations and 8 orders. That's pitiful
