Picking up my 7.5 GTI
« on: 23 August 2017, 14:14 »
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!

Just red, and DSG. To be honest the base spec is great. The only thing I would have chosen would have been keyless and climate windscreen if I went for a factory order.
