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

Hey there ctan...nice wheels

Our car is on the Tortugas which is somewhere between Melbourne and Port Kembla at the moment. I was wondering what exactly you requested your dealer not to do in PDI to get the car with stickers etc. I passed by mine yesterday to request the same and I got a blanket response of: "haven't done that before and will have to check with the GM". Thanks.

Hi stedes,
I initially told the sales rep that I would pick up the car w/o any of their pre delivery detailing. I told him I am happy to drive car home with all the protective sheets. The delivery manager made a point about not being able to do a predelivery inspection with all the protective covering on. So I agreed that they could take the sheets off and leave everything else there. The car comes with a protective sheet covering the roof and the front bonnet. The sheets are taped to the car using an adhesive tape. I told them they could take the sheets off for a visual inspection, but no washing, no polishing or waxing, no application of any brushes or brooms on the car. I was happy for them to hose it to get any dust off but to only dry it with a soft cloth. When I picked up the car, only the sheets were removed, the car had not been washed. There were some stains but no visible scratches or dents. You have to be prepared to take it home in that condition. I would rather my detailer do the job than someone I don't know. I have seen cars taken home all nice and shiny until the initially layer of polish wears out and you see scuff marks underneath because the pre delivery detailing is not done professionally. I made it very clear that I did not want any detailing done and I would accept responsibility of detailing the car myself.

So apparently the specs of engines are changing for anything build after week 22. . .all I know is that here in the UK at least my 140PS GT (high line) comes with a 150PS.

Mine was ordered last week with a build date of week 29 - I emailed my dealer asking if I got the 150PS model and he said yes!

Hi, new to the forum but there is some great info on this forum.
Ordered my first vw but the wait is painful.
Ordered a red GTI with power pack and driver assistance back in January and it won't arrive in Aust until 12/5.

Hey
Looking at getting a Performance over the R but quite torn...
What's the best prices people have managed to get their Performance for?

Paid $52k for GTI PP with driver Assist and roof rack. Did't haggle to hard for that price.
