MY08 Passat

[azza67]

Hi All,

Have had a 125Kw Passat on order since October for a Mid Febuary delivery. I know its a long lead time but when you want what you pay for.....42 days and counting

Anyway would appreciate any feedback from Passat 125KW Tdi owners on how the new Passat goes in the real world. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!!

Welcome to VWwA azza67

I ordered my MY08 125kw TDI back at the beginning of August. After much pfaffing and with no help from Patricks and VWA I'm told I *might* get it this week(!)

I'm not holding my breath though. Seems my car arrived in Patrick's warehouse mid-dec and as at 31st dec nobody had even touched it for pre-delivery.

Getting a little impatient myself.

Ordered MY08 125 kW Wagon (black, sunroof and iPod adapter as options) on 26 September 2007 with 16 weeks delivery time.

Apparently it made it onto the freighter despite the train drivers' strike in Germany in November and should be ready to go to the dealer from the docks now. Very much hoping for delivery in the next couple of weeks.

Quite excited about this even if I don't quite get the "luxury car" thing when they're a dime a dozen in Germany ... .

Anyway, in the meantime I get to drive our new Colt Convertible Turbo a bit which is good fun as well.

Will let you know how things turn out.

Seeya,
Michael

Update...

The dealer (McCarroll's) just called to say they now have my car and I pick it up Friday afternoon!!!

It's a MY08 125kw TDI Passat Wagon.
Silver, black leather inside.
Sunroof, iPod adaptor, bi-xenon active headlights, bluetooth handsfree and dark tinted windows

I'm trading from a 2000 C-Class Mercedes. Hopefully it's a trade "up".

Hi imike,

Congratulations!

Also received call from dealer (Essendon VW) earlier today indicating that this Friday afternoon looks good for delivery. They are expecting the car this afternoon (then it's all systems go) or maybe tomorrow morning (which introduces the "indication").

Black MY08 Wagon (125 kW TDI) with sunroof and iPod adapter, otherwise stock.

Been a long wait, nearly there!

Seeya,
Michael

The saying .."The ox is slow but the earth is patient.." must apply to me.

Looks like a few of you guys are being rewarded for your patience! When you get a chance post some pics of your new wheels and some feedback on how she goes in the real world thanks!
