2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

[Rimp]

Yeh my order was put in on 19th December so I'm currently at 9 weeks. I'm not so much angry if it is a bit delayed its the fact that I don't know any information.

I spec'ed Dynaudio, Climate Windscreen, 90% tints and Pretoria wheels.

I still have an old Corolla Tsport at home which I can use so I wont have to buy another car to use while I wait but would still have been nice to have it for when I get back into the country

I'm in with Dynaudio, climate screen and DCC in pure grey. I waited nearly 24ish weeks in 2013 for a mk gtd so you'd think I'd be used to it 😂

I ordered my TCR on the 5th January and nearly seven weeks later it's still sitting with the factory. This is the third new VW I've ordered in recent years and the information is as bad if not worse than ever. The response from VW UK who should know more than my supplying dealer is to ask me to contact my dealer 😀. The only issue I've got is if the car is registered after 1st April I'll have to pay an extra 300 odd quid on first registration due to wltp tax changes. VW will be paying that because I'm not! If they can't supply a car within 12 weeks or so when BMW can within 8 is beyond me. I've got Dynaudio in my TCR so if that is the issue then surely VW UK would know this.

Although I am hopefully getting mine (GTI) during March, do these new rules affect all motorists or just company car drivers?

Everyone. 1st April for private buyers and 6th April for company car drivers.

you didn't happen to use Pulman VW on Newcastle Road did you McMaddy? I've just realised we will be pretty close geographically

I have bought from them previously and then Durham but my current and this new car are from VW Northallerton. Pulman just weren't anywhere near on the figures I've got from Northallerton and didn't show any effort too either. What colour have you gone for? Whereabouts are you? Pm me if you don't want to share forum wide

Thanks - despite googling this, there does not seem to be a lot of clear info and what I can find seems to be aimed more at business/company users - I am a normal person though

My GTI order details say

CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions (NEDC): 143 g/km*
CO2 emissions (WLTP): 169.8 g/km*

Assuming I pick up before 1.4.20 I assume my vehicle will be taxed on the 143 figure, but if I collect from 1.4.20 onwards what would the additional tax be compared to pre 1.4.20 and who is responsible for any increase? Do these new rates only affect the first/initial year?

Based on those CO2 figures, for a petrol engines car first year VED rates;
- before 01/04/2020; £210
- on or after 01/04/2020; £530

Second year and subsequent years; current VED rate is a flat £145 (increases each year - was £140 last year) irrespective of CO2 emissions. The exception is if the list price of the car exceeds £40k, in which case there’s an additional VED charge on top of the £145 for five years from the start of year 2; this additional VED charge I think is £320. From year seven, VED reverts back to the lower (currently £145) amount.

Who is responsible for the increase? If you mean who pays it, it's you. The dealer supplies the vehicle, you pay the tax. If it changes between order and delivery, tough luck.

Just spent ages looking at this and cant find any reliable source - where are you getting your info from? I have only managed to find info about changes from Apr 19 onwards (or before) which mentions Apr 20 onwards etc and the info is heavily slanted towards company/business users?
