Just bear in mind that with lead times being as they are, list price now and list price when you receive the car may not be the same.

Good point. It’d be a crazy wait. Might even call it an ed46 by the time it comes.  :grin:

Just trying to weigh up whether it’s worth pushing for an Ed45 or wait and get a CS at a later point. I’m now really ready to change but I love an Edition gti.
The price of the car is locked in at the point of order and is unaffected by any subsequent VW price increases.  The only reason the price paid might be more when it arrives is if the VED has been increased since placing the order.

The dealer enters the RRP price when they register the car with the DVLA..... literally typing it into a box...

The price you pay to VW is locked in.
The price you pay for your tax isn’t so if you order at £39999 and VW have raised the list to £40001 by the time you take delivery then the latter is the tax rate you pay.

One of those weird videos which are actually photos stitched together. Some minor differences from previously stated. No 45 on steering wheel and spoiler isn’t all black but that much better IMO than the all black one. Akra looks good.

Yeah. I’d think I’d have to black that out somehow.
