Hey all
Mk4 Bora VR6 and Mk5 TDI owner upgrading to the 40th Anniversary GTI. Mad excited - or at least I was.
Was sent my updated delivery sheet and price confirmation today, and all was well (its pretty simple, given there are only colour and sunroof options) until I saw they had snuck in $115 for their dealer plate covers (no thanks) and a whopping $2,995 for the Premium Preparation Package.
After a handful of emails, all requesting the definition of what the PPP is, I am close to pulling the pin on the deal.
Dealer Delivery is also, curiously, listed as $2,995.
If needed I can name names and Dealer.

Ouch - sounds like the fake paint and interior protections they sell with maybe some fake rust thrown in? Never seen it actually forced on to a buyer though.
Definitely be moving on from them.
A very high end detail, paint correction and Opticoat or equivalent would be less than half that!

These guys know me though, they know i'm not dumb and know i definitely would never go for this stuff.
Besides, normally it is sold by some stupid idiot attached to the dealer as an after sales thing. Never just slid into the contract like they think I won't check.

Yeah that's a little odd - unless it's to pay for a pit crew to prep your car at track days?

This has really soured my opinion of the dealer and I am likely cancelling the order Monday.
Probably going with a 1yo R and throw some mods at it

"$2995 is our standard dealer delivery on all performance models. The dealer delivery is the same on both contracts. As you can see the price came down by $2995.
This is not negotiable.
Please let me know if you cannot afford the car."

Dealer delivery for my recently picked up R was over 3k.
It's normal. You just need to negotiate the price on the vehicle to account for that.
