Congrats NRD80Y.....pleased all went well, looks great...ain't that a pretty blue bow
Thought you would enjoy the first good drive back home...good stuff

They gave you the VIP treatment...that is pretty awesome..Guess you deserve it after such a wait.

Cheers guys. Well worth the wait for this car and glad I didn't break and just pull the plug after the wait and go with another car (not that there was anything out there that matched what I was after).

Yes, I did really like the whole delivery area setup idea. Pretty cool. There was a small hiccup though, the detailers missed some glue along the length of the spoiler and the lower side skirts, but the sales manager fixed it all up himself (since the detailers had gone home lol)

Should get my plates on it tomorrow so will hopefully get some pics up (even though everyone knows what they look like)

I've ordered a Polo 77TSI so it will come over from Port Elizabeth - I was just wondering, when it gets delivered to Australia, which sea port will it be delivered at? Freo or Port Kembla?

[amazeer]

I'm guessing Melbourne. They all seem to stop there before coming to PK.

Hi all,

just reading back on some posts and would it be safe to say that you get the keys in your hand one week after vessel ETA? btw my car is on the Hoegh tranporter ETA into Port Kembla 11/09.

Hmm, not exactly sure on the timescale from off-boat to handover in Sydney. My car hit dry land on 7/8, ie last Tuesday. On Friday the dealer didn't have any news for me on his systems about when it was coming to him when I dropped in for him to value the trade in. He is going to ring me if he can deliver this week, and he told me I am priority as he wants my money this month (we go away later in the month for circa 2 weeks) and if its not this week then I dont need/want it until Sept, and he wont get paid until its delivered LOL). So, we shall see...

Car just landed at the dealer... 7days from leaving the boat to arriving at the dealer and then its however busy they are as the car goes in a queue for PDI etc.



Yep, that's a red 5dr behind, appears its going out the same day as I get mine...
