Worth mentioning- dealers have loads of stock atm brand new WLTP GTI PP's
Loads of people cancelled orders because of the waiting times and the cars are all turning up at the dealers. Call round and ask about stock cars and the specs. You can still use the carwow discount applied to a stock car and only wait 1 week for collection
This is true. I ordered in the summer, cancelled due to the silly delays, then much to my dealer's surprise it arrived at the dealer
a few days before Christmas. My dealer rang me up asking if I still wanted it, and the rest is history. I waited until 2019, but I could have had it in a week.
The others they had were put into their showroom to be sold. If you go into your dealer they will be able to look at what's in group stock on their system.
A word of caution though, the 15%+ discounts that were around at Xmas are already starting to be reduced slowly as we move into the new year, so if you're going to do it, don't hang around. I did however speak to my dealer today and mentioned your hunt for a Black 3Dr with Brescias and Dynaudio, so he's going to look on his system to see what's out there. If he can find one he will also do the excellent deal he gave me, if you're interested.
Good luck.
p.s. A long time ago I had a MK5 R32, whilst the grip (and noise!) was nice, the 7.5 is leagues ahead in terms of feedback, speed and all round ability v economy.
