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

[emufriedchicken]

It took about 6 weeks from the very start of my order to when I had it delivered. Hopefully My dealer will shed some more light on it tomorrow when he contacts VW Oz or the other dealer he did the swap with. I know the Novating Lease company are going to be pissed. Hope fully the dealer will refund the money for the car back to them as I aint making repayments for something I don't have.

You mean parallel parking, right? Was never called side parking when I did my licence anyway...long time ago now.

My first VW will be a 90TSi DSG in Reflex Silver (the only colour left for six months ). To be delivered on Monday 23rd December.

Really hoping that there are no problems, but looking forward to getting it. I was impressed by a Golf Wagon that Hertz gave me recently as an upgrade, even though it is based on the Mk5.

The dealer is being quite supportive about it all...they even showed me a copy of the order invoice just to prove that it did have driver assist on the invoice. VW Australia told them that there was one left with my exact specs at another dealer. So my dealer did a swap with them. So we aren't sure yet till tomorrow on who made the stuff up.....VW Oz or the other dealer they swapped with....to be continued......

So had did you go emufriedchicken what did good old volkswagen assist...

Amazingly the head of sales for VW oz is making a dealer visit tomorrow and my dealer wants me to be there with him to see what options he gives me and to let me put a few back at them....The Tiguan they lent me to drive around in has now died on me in my garage...they spent 2 hours today diagnosing it but they said they will be back tomorrow to tow it back to the workshop so they can test it more thoroughly ...they think the fuel pump has **** the tin. Starting to think I am not meant to get this car!!!

2 weeks ago, I decided to order a new 1.4 TSI Highline in Tungsten Silver. My truly excellent local dealer, Miles Continental in Christchurch did quick check of incoming stock and found an unallocated car on a ship called the Tarago, that docked in Auckland last Friday and the car should be in my hands in about 10 days. Very happy with the price, which at NZ$37K drive away, is about 10% off list. Mind you, this is my fourth new car in 3 years from them, so I'd hope to be looked after .

Be interested to compare Australian and NZ specs for the Highline. Would you expect them to be identical?

Decisions decisions, which way you going to go? Are they willing to give you leather at the price you already paid?

[emufriedchicken]

I made mention of it today that I don't care for the leather or I would have optioned it with it on my 1st order . I have a follow up meeting tomorrow with the dealer so will nut all that **** out then....I upset the VW rep when I said the May delivery is unacceptable when they can ship 20 or more F1 cars around the world in less than a week, so why cant VW do they same for F*^^ing my order up, And none of the colours (Black, red ,white) I like very much at in fact I hate them....When you go to the german VW site and build your own GTI there are a **** load more colours to choose from to what we get here........
