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

[MrGadget]

Hi Guys,
After many months of indecisiveness I have finally placed an order for a GTI Performance Pack- Night Blue, Leather, Driver Assist & Panoramic Sunroof.
Can't wait to pick it up early Feb

Sunroof on the PP is not an option!

MrGadget, that was the case when it first came out... Only very recently sunroof has become an option according to my dealer so I cancelled my original order with them and added the sunroof.

If I were to wait until April for the same specced car, the dealer advised that the driver assist will be slightly updated with lane departure warning, but I don't need that

Very interesting, also rumor about updated sat nav.

if rumours are ture, an updated sat nav would be great as I've read all the terrible reviews about the current one throughout this forum...Maybe not as good for me, as my car has been ordered and is already on the way so it will still have the current version

It may just be a software update?

If that's the case, then all good

Have you decided on the PP yet?

Hi everyone,
I have ordered a 90tsi mid December and the ship arrived in Melbourne on 4th Jan. When I paid my deposit, the dealer promised that my car will arrive between 15-20 Jan. I still haven't heard any updates from my dealer yet. Just wondering how long it'll take for the car to be delivered?

Is this question for me? If so, I'm pretty much sold on it. Haven't actually driven it yet but I do drive a MKV GTI.

Getting quotes at the moment, will be on novated lease. Not sure if there is a pricing thread on here but was quoted $49K for tornado red with no options. Doesn't seem that great considering there's no GST on novated lease?

I would have thought $48k is achievable, if there are 2014 plated stock that they need to clear - are you eligible for any corporate discount
With novated leases, the finance amount you pay is calculated on the GST exclusive cost of the car. You still have to pay GST on the purchase of the car - which you do when you make the balloon payment, the GST will be calculated on the residual amount.
Running costs of the car is where you benefit by not incurring GST

Hey Everyone, picked up my girlfriends new Black 90TSi with no options yesterday. Such a great car compared to a few others we test drove such as the Yaris and Mazda 3! It drives so much smoother and built a lot better I thought! More importantly she loves it!
