I guess it will depend on where you are shopping, but firstly a quick check on carsales shows over 75% of GTI stock in Mk7 guise for sale is DSG, so the manuals will be hard to get a hold of (and white accounts for only 15% of stock, and white manuals 5%). Secondly, it sounds like a wait of around 6 months given its mid-June - choosing to wait for a 2015 build would be your choice.
