Done it! Ordered. So gone for pure white and DCC. Considered the winter pack but don’t have it in mine now and can’t say I have missed the heated seats from my last car. On the road price with DCC is £33,915.50! The nearest VW dealership has offered me a standard club with no extras at £37,800! This is through motorfinity and is BlueLightCard discounted. I asked about 4 times where is the catch on the price but said they go direct to VW. Shows how much garages are making on the cars!
Hopefully you won’t have the same “catch” as I did. I ordered a brand new fully loaded Mini Cooper S through a broker with a substantial discount (21%) The order was accepted by Mini and I got an order number. About a month in the order was cancelled by Mini stating they they were cancelling all third party orders to protect their own dealer network from supply issues. My take on this was they had decided they could make more money by cutting out the loss leader deals they had been happy to take to keep ticking over during the first covid lockdown because of increased demand from franchised dealers orders with far less discount applied and more profit for them.
Best of luck 🤞
That’s is poor and sorry to hear you lost that order.
It sounds like you were in a similar position to me so fingers crossed this won’t happen.
Just received the order details from Listers VW in Nuneaton. This is where the car is coming from. To be honest, I’m not really thinking the car will ever turn up. It’s a long long way off and a lot of things can change between now and then. I’m just happy I have a great deal (in my eyes), and if it turns up at that price then I’m onto a winner.
Let’s see what happens.
I’ve had 5 cars from Listers Nuneaton. Never had a problem with this dealership or Listers in general.They have always been spot on with me 👍 It’s just the small matter of the car getting built and shipped to the UK that is the worry and that’s largely out of their hands 😬
I still got the Mini albeit with a slightly smaller haggled discount from my local Mini dealership and have to say it all worked out well and I love my little weekend warrior 👍
