Hi everyone,
After several Fiesta ST's I have decided to jump to VW and purchased a 7.5 GTI last weekend.
I wanted either white or red, definitely 5 door and definitely dsg. Not too fussed on the PP as I was more than happy with the power and overall drive when I took one for a spin. I would rather save the extra 1k. Any other options were a bonus, but the standard spec is fine with me.
As it happens, there was a red 5 door dsg non PP in the showroom at my local dealer. Brand new with 5 miles on the clock, paintwork in great condition despite it being cleaned a few times. I was being quoted February delivery times for a factory order for the same spec car.
A few hours of haggling and crunching numbers managed to get down to a monthly figure I was happy with, overall 9.8% off list price on PCP. Picking it up this Saturday 9am.
Some people will say it wont be on a 67 plate and to wait, but this is my choice as a private reg is going on in a few months. Plus I'm starting a new job 2 days after pickup and will be nice to start with the new car all sorted. Personal choice.
Cannot wait to pick it up. Hurry up Saturday!
