What spec is it you are going to go for again Kev? I remember white, but thats about it.

White 3dr Manual
18" Monza's, Xenon's, Leather, RCD510 + Dynaudio Speakers, Winter pack and Luxury pack. I was swaying towards a sunroof too, but depending on what deal I get offered through my work tomorrow, I may add ACC.


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

I really liked the ACC when I drove the test car.  Some people have mentioned that they noticed no difference but I honestly did. We went along some bumpy country lanes and it felt smooth in the comfort mode, stiff but well able to cope in sport mode, so yeah if you can go for ACC I think you will appreciate it. :grin:

You bet. It's been a long time coming.

Glad you now have something happening with yours.

I'm hideously tempted to phone my dealer and ask if he has any news on that front.  But maybe 2 weeks after ordering is a bit soon?   :grin:

What do they say after you order then ? I thought VW gives you a courtesy call every step of the way, sort of thing ?

I was told by my dealer they'd be in touch when they had any info for me and true to their word they've kept me in the loop all along.

If you give them a ring they can probably have a look on their computer and give you a build week.

All I got was "maybe September".  That was while I was in the showroom, before we started talking turkey.  I got the great offer and accepted it by telephone, and I didn't push him on anything in case the deal somehow evaporated!  I haven't spoken to him since.

He said I had a short period, possibly a couple of weeks, to change my mind on the specification, but after it was in the system, that was it.  I decided I was happy with the specs I'd given him, so I haven't called again.

The first dealer I spoke to said three months, which would actually take us into October, so I'm not really banking on September.  I'd love it to be early September 'cos I've got holiday time booked starting then, and nowhere to go.  With a new car, I'd just pick up a late hotel booking somewhere way up north, and with ACC and dual aircon, maybe I could persuade mother to come.  But I think that's too much to hope for.

rolfe - you should ask for the build week.  that isn't too much to ask for.  that way you know when they'll be building it in the factory and delivery is approx 1 mth after that.
