Mk8 gti ordering

Unless they have changed there stance we were originally communicated this on the 6th of November and it was mentioned only retail sales were protected.

Which seemed very unfair and opened a huge can of worms with our fleet operation....

[Guzzle]

We all appreciate there is uncertainty at the moment. But it's patently unfair to make promises to some customers and not to others without explaining it, particularly as the customer doesn't really have much control over how long it takes VW to supply them with a car.

A pch quote though shouldn't change... Any hit should be on the fleet operator not the renter. Your lease quote was in no way directly a direct cost of the purchase. If you have ink on paper, it won't change AFAIK.

[Guzzle]

VW PCH deals are with VW Financial Services, same as PCP's.

Many of the lease companies that people mention aren't actually lease companies in the sense of being fleet operators, they are merely brokers working for a fee.

A few cars have started to come through on AT with the 19s. They make such a difference imo. I’d have to have these.

that's not the most flattering angle for a picture!

Agreed. Turning 180° to the right would help enormously

I've got some quotes back on my chosen spec and I've discovered on PCP that nineteens and dcc add nothing to the gfv.

So basically don't imagine you are making your car more saleable in the future with them.

Would be more cost effective to swap the oem eighteens for something third party and keep the swastikas in the garage for refitting later.

I was also going to ask if anyone had an opinion on how vw shape their deposit contributions... Is it likely to go down or up in January?

[king monkey]

Not too sure about deposit contributions but from what I remember, the contribution was pretty stable on the 7.5 for a long period of time.

I think the days of Vw not offering a contribution are a thing of the past now. Please don’t quote me in 6 months though!
