MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

[Bearman]

August! Do you mean arrival in Aus or VW start manufacture? This is also an unusual year due to the factory shut-down in September

My dealer tells me MY19 builds commence from week 32-36...

Take that with a grain of salt

Which week are we in now ?

VW manufacture

Which week are we in now ?

currently we are in week 30
32 is first week august
36 is first week sept

I've tried to wrangle my existing order to be a MY19 but they politely refused, reason being my negotiated price is based on MY18.5 and supposedly MY19 prices not being released yet. Guess this suggests there will be a price difference between MY models

Yeah it's a can of worms - you would essentially have to start the negotiation process again, especially since they have re-jigged the base specs and the packs in a big way. As much as I would like MY19, I'm sticking with MY18.5 order, which should be here in few weeks.

I think it's probably more along the lines that the dealer doesn't want to have to re-sell the MY18.5 with the MY19 just around the corner as everyone will want the MY19. I suspect the pricing won't change a great deal as they'll try and keep it around the same price-point in the market.

Worst case is you could cancel your order and lose deposit and re-order a MY19 at another dealer if your current dealer doesn't want to play ball.

You have ordered a MY18.5 fully loaded right? Stick with that, unless you want Dynaudio and/or electric pax seat. Personally, I sit in the drivers seat! MY19 engine the same etc.....

It would take more than what's on offer in the MY19 for me to have canceled my MY18.5 order.............those who haven't ordered....wait for sure, although expect price increase.

Incidently, my MY19 Tig wishlist was: Updated engine, Elec. pax seat, heated rear seats, vented front seats, full size spare, DAB+, heated steering wheel, wireless charging and wireless APP connect (CarPlay/Auto).

I agree with the wish list for the ones in bold

How do people cancel the agreement without being liable for the full purchase price ?

The way I read the agreement, you are liable for the full price in the agreement not just the deposit
