Which I actually think is wrong to be honest - an order is an order and customers should take priority over demo cars IMO.When I placed my order, I specifically asked my dealer if I would be the first person to have the GTI from his dealership. He said yes. I said, even before the demo cars. He said yes, yours will be before the demo cars, yours will be the first one we get as you are our first order, simple as.I hope you're right as this is exactly what I was told, and my order is the first this particular VW Group has had - he said it was VW policy with the GTI's to put the customer first ahead of demos - but I don't believe that for a second I'm afraid. I hope I turn out to be completely wrong though!!If I see a demo at the dealership before my car, I'm gonna kick up a fuss. I might even cancel my order and wait for the R, it does look awesome! Then again, I probably won't lol.You might as well phone them up now and cancel

If I had to choose, I'd agree with evo1986 - no chance you'll get your car before they get their demo - this is my experience anyway....*get ready to kick off*
My experience with ordering, is that we know more than most dealers did re prices spec, order dates etc.
Quote from: dirvy on 16 April 2013, 17:36My experience with ordering, is that we know more than most dealers did re prices spec, order dates etc.Totally agree. The dealer I use was actually pretty clued up but I visited a different one & he literally didn't have a clue, I was actually embarrassed for him.ROO1 - he's telling you porkies, they don't start making them for the general public until the end of May!!
