The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

[kennyc]

I was decoding my vin number last night (I have too much time on my hands) and it looks like my model may be a MY18 model. I read that VW do the model years from 1 August - 31 July, so being that my car is being built in August 2017 it's actually a MY18 build.

Chris here from sydney

Put a deposit on a new R 7.5 fully optioned last week, was able to score it for 59200 drive away from hunter valley vw, speak to scott

anyway, after some deligation and back and forth, was able to score a wolfie wagon in blue, no sunroof (thats a bugger, but oh well), for 66 drive away. Thats with euro plate, and weather sheilds and boot liner added in. Maybe not as good of a deal as the hatch, but i reckon its a good deal overall. Also novemeber delivery instead of jan/feb for the hatch that was on order.

looking forward to it now.

Cant wait

Spoke to my dealer today to try and get my build week number.
He claims it is already being built as we speak
Hopefully it will be on the tracking site in the next couple of weeks!

Hi everybody. First time posting here, but I've just ordered myself a MK7.5 Golf R with manual transmission. I've always had VW's in the past (a couple of Polo's and then a Golf 2.0 FSI). I was debating either a GTI or R and after test driving them both there was no doubt, the R was epic.

Dealer said delivery date would be the end of Dec so unfortunately a long wait ahead! I also managed to negotiate the drive-away price down to $53,500 (Manual transmission and no DAP or sunroof). I know people have negotiated lower than that, but I'm happy with it and at least I didn't pay full price

So apparently my car has been built and left the factory. Should be on the ship soon. Looking at an early to mid October delivery.

Was thinking of changing my order to the Wolfsburg as the carbon Nappa seats and dynaudio are things I want but I couldn't handle the wait until January.
Hopefully I don't regret it.

Well after a few weeks of waiting - I have received my FIRST ever VW - a Golf 7.5 TSI110 Highline with R/Line and Infotainment.....first thoughts are the infotainment is definitely worth it (although the GM mentioned he is currently unable to order cars with it....right across the range)

Think I am gunna enjoy this

Looks great, upgrade to the slimline plates, they fit much better than the standard 'not designed to fit Euro cars' Oz version and only cost $160 ish.
