2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

[SRGTD]

How believable is the vw app at progress tracking? I just moved to ‘with the factory’.

Based on the experience of others over on the Polo forum (uk-polos.net), it’s generally pretty cr@p; slow to update, and inaccurate information.

Will take it with a pinch of salt then

my dealer was far more accurate with updates than the app, he updated me right away at every stage the app just jumped from build week to in transit

Spotted this today at JCT Rotherham...







Thoughts - looks bloody awesome! Liked the Pure Grey which I thought might not look good. Rear diffuser in gloss black looks great, very pronounced as opposed to the std plastic one on the normal GTI. Interior is lovely, feels and looks more expensive than the stock cloth. And not as orange as some pictures look. Not sure why the mirror caps are a greyish colour and not gloss black to match front lip/sides/rear etc. Wasn't keen on those.

But with options, this was £40k! I'm guessing you'd get some discount though.

Making that look pricey was this... 19 plate, white, manual, 3rd, no keyless for £27.5k.

That TCR is going to be £40k list.... so whacked with the "expensive car tax" for 5 years.... ouch.

The £40k+ luxury tax is calculated on the List/RRP before OTR costs, so as that car is £40,525 OTR (according to the plinth in the picture) and a TCR has OTR costs of £1220, it'll be under.

Either way, that’s not £40k worth of car! Wow!

It's a massive amount! Ok, you'd hope to get a discount off.

Options on this one are Pure Grey, 19s with DCC, Pan roof, 90% tints, side decals  , Dynaudio. Total of £5220! Soon adds up...

Just specced that car on Vw and I got just over £41k. So I presume it would be in the higher tax band.

Should be £40,525? I checked and it came out at that? KMPowell was saying would fall under. That includes VED of £530 plus assume other OTR charges.
