Cheers H5O - I've got a standard 3 door in white on order, only option is the service pack. Was ordered towards the end of June, I have a build week of 22 September and expected delivery of end of October, all being well.
Suppose calling the interior Jacara would be too simple, far better they have me fretting everytime I check the tracker......!
Glad to help
You're so close to me. I'm build week confirmed 29 September.
Get your spec up matey. Join the club
Hope you got a good deal from Scotswood Road, Benfield were not competitive for me (especially Silverlink). Trying to get any appreciable discount or freebies out of them was like pulling teeth (and I have a mate who works there in sales!). They wouldn't commit to a fixed part ex either - they gave me a variable figure, guaranteeing at least £1900 equity (based on the equity I had in it on the day of enquiry). They have been ok in the past, but for my last 2 cars I have gone to Pulman for a better deal. Not a bad lead time on your order - always a bonus!
I was happy enough with my deal from the Scotswood Road branch, looking back, once I'd ordered it you always find other dealerships who may have offered more, or use Drive the Deal - but I have a 09 plate MKVI GTI to part ex and couldn't be bothered trying to sell it privately etc so was reasonably content with the value they gave me.
To be honest though, they had me right where they wanted me, I was offered an hours unsupervised test drive straight away and they obviously know what they were doing as I signed up as soon as I got back ha! Not saying I didn't get a discount but looks as though other people may have got more.
At the end of the day, I look at things like this, if I'm happy with the overall deal and the monthly payments then that's enough for me - you could forever chase a deal that makes a difference of a few quid either way, as long as you're happy with the deal you have then that's good enough for me.
After reading the length of time people have had to wait on here, I emailed the dealership to see if my order would be delayed, and to their credit, they got back to me with the build week date etc long before the tracker was updated so can't say fairer than that.
My biggest problem at the minute is trying to work out what cleaning products to buy in order to keep my first white car clean!!
