Seriously though, what would I have gained?

Zero profit and then a 6 month wait for a new one :sick:

this dealer might take a bit less  :smiley:

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

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.

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!

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.
Golf Mk7 GTi 5dr Manual, Carbon Grey, Performanc, ACC, Keyless, Winter Pack, Rear Camera , ordered 3rd May, in transit.
