Test driving the new GTI.......any luck finding one?

[Ralfi]

Called up Essendon VW & asked if there were any GTI's available for a test drive. Was bluntly told "Nup". I then asked when they knew when one might come in....again, bluntly told "12 months". Then asked so they don't expect many sales for the next year?........"Nup. Correct". & they didn't know if any other dealers had any.......

So, pretty useless phone call.......similar to one I made a couple of months ago...

Any others found one they've been able to score a test drive in recently??

Not much luck mate, most dealers have sold their demos. You might find the odd one in the country but there's only 1 way to find out....

Camberwell VW just sold their demo and have just taken delivery of a new black demo with alacantra/leatherette trim. Not sure when it will be available for test drive, but might be worth giving them a call.

blokes.....time will tell

Hi Everyone,

I tired calling all dealerships in Brisbane and no luck for a GTi. Anyone have any luck in other states?
The sales guys dont really want to help out with their short answer.... sounds like they get a lot of calls for the GTi...haha

For Ralfi and other melbourninans, Bayford Epping still have their reflex silver 3 door GTI available.....

I'm pretty sure that Bill Buckle on Sydney's northern beaches has one for any Sydney siders wanting a test drive

Ian Boettcher in Ipswich had a 3 door GTI demo last week.
