I could resist no longer, after looking at the configurator all afternoon, I engaged 2 dealers in an email discount war all afternoon yesterday until one just wound me up..
So I went to the other today to spec up a car and ordered-
3 door manual
Carbon Grey
Performance pack
Winter pack
Panoramic roof.
Managed to resist all other options for the time being.
Managed to secure a discount of around £2500 which is about 9% I think, net price around £26,200 I think. Could have got better on the Internet but my local dealer was good to work with and they gave me the 3 hour test drive. They also underwrote my bmw 330ci with a decent trade in value for oct / nov delivery.
Not sure when the car will likely arrive but I guess now the pondering starts.. Did I spec it right, shall I change color etc ! It's my birthday on 1 dec so as long as its there for that.
By the way I saw a normal golf in limestone grey as I was tempted, but oh, no it is not a good colour in the flesh IMO. Very washed out a bit pale, really think it looked better in pics. My advice, if you are going for anything other than white, red or black make sure you see something in the flesh.
Really excited now, they also confirmed that the low rate finance runs until end of the year as long as you order by September, plus managed to get the obligatory full tank of fuel thrown in
Can't wait, has been a long time since I had a brand new car and this new golf really ticked all the boxes.
