Title: Ordered a MK5 today!
Post by: tomo10 on 07 May 2008, 21:31
Hi all

Ordered a Steel Grey 3 Dr Manual GTI today.....I am just a little excited!

Options are: MFSW, Armrest with Ipod dock, Rear Tints, Cruise Control, 18" Monza's and Parking Sensors.

The downside is the 2 - 3 weeks wait for it to get here from Emden.......already counting the days!

Thats the same spec as the car i just sold, its on vw's forecourt now for £22495!, but you could of had it for £20k and saved you a fortune!!. it had the same spec as youve just ordered!.  How much was yours with the extra's?

edit, just seen mine had to more doors and a proper Gearbox , sorry! :wink:

Welcome by the way, and know how your feeling, the wait is truely worth it!  :smiley:

HAHA! I got it for just over £21K on a pcp deal through VW at a local dealership (Inchcape). autobytel.com are part of Inchcape, got the discount through them but dealt with dealership.

thats not fair, i ordered my Golf off inchscape and I'm waiting 22 weeks for it, sheer madness.

good spec, i couldn't choose between the steel grey and the black,

perhaps the exact spec you ordered wasn't already in the pipe line hence your longer wait for it being built.

Good choice Tom :cool: Welcome to the forum :smiley:

The waiting is the worst part - driving away in it is the best :cool:

Ah, the joys of ordering through a VW dealer v Broker :rolleyes:

Absolutely no competition :smug:

Thanks for the messages.....a few weeks ago a bloke at work told me "everybody should own a GTI at least once", I'm starting to see what he meant now!

Sounds good !

Welcome to the forum mate. I only just got mine recently and just cant enough of it. They are fantastic motors. I had a 10 day wait from putting my depost down to picking her up and it just went on forever, worth every second of the wait tho.

Its also a law that you MUST post pics as soon as you get her :D

Oh I will, I hope the weather holds as a mate of mine picked his 55 plate up last week and it rained solid until this week!
