What has being able to afford one got to do with having an opinion?

Elitist attitudes about the people's car always make me laugh as does asking $70k for a hatch back but if the market is willing to pay it then good luck to Scuderia.

I can't afford one but can I ask how Scuderia has got VWA warranty for these cars?

Direct enquiries to Scuderia Imports please. As Anthony already stated, he doesn't work there.

I got the chance to see Tendy's Scirocco at a previous meet and I gotta say it's got the curves to match Adriana Lima. They look absolutely fantastic in the flesh. There is a market for these early Mk3 Sciroccos and for those that are skeptical about some facts, just call up Scuderia. There's no need to incite some of these arguments.

The Ferrari FF is actually a hatchback and it is $600,000+

I guess early adopters always pay more. In one way or another.
I remembered waiting in the queue for the first iPhone release in Australia. In the middle of the cold for 8 hours. Yikes.

And so's the Aston vantage but that's like 300k plus haha

Are AndyCh and AP employees of Scuderia?

I am NOT an employee of Scuderia... I would have been a customer if I had been able to get out of my current vehicle but that wasn't possible right now...

I am not putting crap on Scuderia... these are valid questions any buyer will ask when the going price is from $67K Onroad.

How would you know? I was a VALID buyer and I certainly didn't ask those questions...some may.. not everyone is hung up on re-sale value etc... Emotion and the ability to purchase are more likely motivators when looking at this sort of vehicle.... It is not the same as buying a Polo or Golf.

Neither of you (nor anyone in the buying public) know how many cars VWA may have available for sale come Q1 2012. But AndyCh's previous posts seem to indicate he was prepared to place a "holding deposit" with VWA for the rights to one.

You have no idea what you are talking about...I never mentioned placing a deposit with VWA or having any "rights" on one if I did.
What I did say was that I was considering placing an order with a VW Dealer which would secure me a place in the line for the option of purchasing of purchasing one of "their" (the Dealer's) Allocated Scirocco R's when they come in... depending on the spec and pricing.

Nothing to do with VWA

As for the number VWA will be bringing in....based on the fact that NZ got 20 cars in their initial batch and waiting times in other countries is now out to 12 months it is fair to guess it won't be hundreds of cars....so in answer to the next part of your reply.... I doubt that the Scuderia supplied cars will dry up... there will be a greater demand than supply....

I could be wrong, but i hazard a guess that the Scuderia supplied cars will dry up once VWA starts importing them.

I love the ride height you have on it 10d, and I prefer to think of it as a "Sports Coupe" rather than a Hatchback...

I don't get why people are getting so worked up about alternative views being aired here. It is not like they are criticising the car per se. These are beautiful cars.

I personally like the Scirocco and might one when the VWA stock comes in. If the Scuderia cars are coming from the same factory then there should not be a difference in quality.

What pologti is trying to point out though (which is valid) is that imports usually suffer greater depreciation than officially imported cars (regardless of whether the warranty is honoured by the official importer - in this case VWA). In some cases also, even insurance maybe higher - although, this probably won't be the case with the Scirocco.

What I do see are people getting unncessarily defensive over comments being made that don't necessarily mesh with theirs. But this being an open forum, "shouting down" those with different views only reflects badly on those doing the "shouting". We all don't march to the beat of the same drum.

If there are things that are not correct, the points can be made in a nice manner w/o resorting to labelling others as haters - which I don't think those with alternate views are - esp not of the Scirocco at least.

A mate of mines dad had a deposit on an Aus delivered Scirocco R with a NSW dealer.
QUOTED price to him was $49000 + onroads + options.

Remember guys, the Scirocco R is supposed to replace the 3 door Golf R so there's no way in standard form it will cost more than a 5 door golf R.

My mates dad was saying there is an options list a mile long for the Scirocco so they definately aren't importing fully optioned models only.
