well I went to silverlink to get some trousers and a shirt for an imminent holiday, but it was packed to so popped into Benfield there instead and seem to have ordered a 3 dr tornado red gti with performance pack and dynaudio
still grinning after the test drive..my missus says it looks look I have been hit over the head and my face has stuck
-
Haha, congratulations :smiley:
-
its going to be a long wait...but it will be worth it...the demonstrator had the pp and it felt so direct and planted
-
A very expensive shirt and trousers! :laugh:
-
There's nowt like a good satisfying shopping trip! Did they give you a guesstimate on when it would be delivered?
-
sadly no..he checked the latest bulletins which are advising 25 weeks..but hey ho..good things come to those who wait
car blew me away to be honest
I was also considering a new octavia vrs ( I have had 3!) I wasn't even intending on having a test drive, just getting some ball park figures to compare the 2
Once he got me in the car though...no question I was not going to buy one. Spur of the moment etc..but I know I will not regret it every time I get behind the wheel..it feels the sort of car I will just want to get out of bed on a sunday morning and go for a drive just for the sake of driving...screw the cost of fuel!

It will be worth the wait :smiley:
I wasn't actually looking to replace my Polo but after some thinking I took the plunge. :laugh:

Gingernick: Did you get much in the way of discount? Silverlink is my closest dealership but they never seem to offer me much discount and p/x is always at least £500 less than I get off Pulman. I usually get my warranty work done at Silverlink though.

I basically got the performance pack for free was a little over a grand 'dealer contribution'
I am trading in a mito cloverleaf..which is why I choose benfield as they have an alfa dealer as part of their network..but wasn't expecting anything special as they seem to fluctuate wildly looking at different sources
I suspected other dealers..such as pulman might not have been as keen to give me a sensible offer on the alfa
bottom line for me was its not costing me anything more to change..even the tax is the same and insurance is actually cheaper?!
I intend to use them as my service centre as well as even though they are on the other side of the river..its only a 15 minute drive..very convenient compared to having to drive through to newcastle
dealership seems busy as well ...the lad on the desk behind me was also after a gti..but I was having the test drive that meant he had to wait..he was trading in a m5 gti I think...sorry you had to wait for me if you are a member here!!
I also appreciated the directness of the sales staff I dealt with..a scotsman...he didn't feel the need to fill me with bullsh!t about the car.
oh..and I am still looking for a shirt and trousers suitable for a meal in a posh Restaurant in Rome in a fortnight!!
-
didnt happen to be darren wills? ive ordered from silverlink aswell
EDIT: just saw that you dealt with a scotsman so the answer will be no haha
-
Gingernick, is it a manual or DSG?
-
manual..I just prefer to have that little bit mechanical interaction with a car

Nice, your one of the lucky ones. VW at present are quoting upto 25 weeks lead time.
I would say you should have your car for March 1st 14 plate. :)
