Obviously I did after ordering on April 14th and still not going into build by last week of September, but did anyone else tell VW to shove it? I'm aware of one or two on here, but a show of hands?
-
Myself obviously. Couple of other chaps went over to BMW and I think one to Audi. At least one guy went for a used mk6. That's actually not many people though. 5 or 6 compared to around 30 cars delivered to proud new owners and hopefully many more on the way soon.
Of course this is the very reason VW have little incentive to improve though!

Telling VW to shove it will only allow them to sell your car to someone who is prepared to pay more money to jump the queue. It'll be you loosing out, not them.
-
You're saying VW are just too big for for consumer pressure to drive better deals? :whistle: I think you'll struggle to find someone who has cancelled who agrees they've lost out but it seems pointless to argue about it...

not when low mileage second hand cars can be bought for 24k :wink:

Bill, they will be loosing out by no longer getting to have the car they were passionate enough about to order in the first place.
Barry, there will always be people who will pay more than they need to for anything.

agree with you but why wait when you can have a low mileage 1 now for a few grand less :wink:
-
These are quite special cars, in high demand as new GTIs usually are.
Many people want one now and are not prepared to wait, I was offered the full price I paid for mine when it had 4k on the clock and was 3 months old....

this dealer might take a bit less :smiley:

I did think about accepting the offer - for about 5 seconds.

:grin: :grin: thats 4 seconds to long

Seriously though, what would I have gained?
Zero profit and then a 6 month wait for a new one :sick:

did anyone actually buy 1 hoping to make a profit :undecided: ok on the 1st couple of weeks after release they might have found someone willing to pay extra

Just loving owning it, fantastic car.

Still it's a 4000 mile car for the same price as you could get on DTD for a similar spec... :whistle:

good reason for a further discount from dealer selling it :undecided:
-
Must be a demo.
Who is going to sell after a few months?
Maybe someone who's family or financial situation has changed.
I think the rest of us would rather sell a kidney.

Yep, i was the Audi one. ;)

Due to various reasons that I won't go into I have cancelled my order. The car has just gone into transit so 3-4 weeks away. Anyone interested in a quick delivery with the specification below send me a PM and I'll pass on the details, the dealer is in Cambridgeshire.
