I am new to the forum and haven't yet got my car. I have been trying to get hold of a Mk7.5PP as a lease car. I am being told by the lease company that it does not have a WLTP certificate despite them having got a car in stock (basically standard car with Bressicas). My local dealer had a PP in the showroom which was sold a couple of weeks ago, so I assume that the car does have a certificate. I am struggling to get much sense out of the lease company, so at the risk of winning the award from oddest question of the day - has anyone actually taken delivery of a PP with 19inch wheels since September....? Thanks.
Welcome. WLTP certification for the 7.5PP was signed off 2nd week of December. VW started sending cars to dealers at that point and they started to arrive at dealers before Xmas.
Mine was delivered to the dealer on the 21st, along with three others. Three of those had 19’s.
If I were a betting man I would suggest that dealers took priority over lease companies, and your lease company is bullsh!tting to try and retain your order.
IIWY, get on the phone to some big dealers and see what physical new & unregistered stock they have (for example I know my dealer has 3 sat in their showroom and access to more from their group). You should be able to price match any current lease offered from brokers (I did this on a MK7 match edition for my ex back in 2016), however you will have to pay more for options if they are fitted.
