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

[wasabiz]

Placed an order for a golf 90 tsi comfortline dsg limestone gray and driver assistance build 2014 .On 14 april was told estimated delivery 30 april .They said i need to pay pick up no later than 10am 1st may .maybe some sort of end of month thing .I called then today 4.30pm and was told something happen and they should have it some time nxt week . They said cars docked and needs to be transported and dealer checked .Asked about them delivering car as with public transport its over an hour half walking two bus and train.They said its not possible they dont have time or staff free .Maybe its because i am paying 28490 .My neighbour got picked up and taken to there honda dealer .

This exact same thing happpened when I was about to pick up my GTI few weeks back. I complained to the sales manager saying how unhappy I was and at the end, they have me a free loan car for nearly 2 weeks, and **** tonnes of freebies which I asked for and offered to pay (nah I wasn't really gonna pay)

Picked mine up today. Everything went smoothly except they didn't switch the number plate lights across to LEDs (that will happen next week). Another white GTI running around

Congrats Jimi! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I love mine when I get to drive it.

Joining you with white GTI Jimi.
Pleasant surprise today when advised that car was ready 2 days early.
Very happy with dealer - everything exactly as ordered, all instructions followed.
Overall this was a very good buying experience, and I would highly recommend this dealer for honesty, helpfulness, good advice and excellent customer service (Ben Horsfall @ Ian Boettcher VW Ipswich).
Going on decent trip Saturday to test everything out.
Will post pics of car when bloody rain stops (probably in number plate base plate thread - also very happy with Lakin plates and covers).
