R20T

Right just spoke to my local dealer. They expect orders to open in the next month and very early dealer demo cars and early orders to hit the road around Christmas.

It's goign to be a limited run model and that there will be an allocation of 500ish vehicles for 2010 and once those are ordered any other orders will be placed on a waiting list for th next batch of UK cars to be released.

Clearly this is not gospel and just what my dealer said and we all know how reliable they can be!

early orders to hit the road around Christmas.

Oooh, free R for me. Can I have the Recaros and Sat Nav and 19's and ACC too please? 

[synnea]

So to spec it the same as my R and with the new 19s what you reckon price wise for a 3 manual door one?

My option list
- Leather seats (not recarros) - I assume leathers will therefore be heated as standard like the MK5
- Centre Armrest
- Cruise Control
- 19 inch wheel upgrade
- Privacy Glass
- Lux Pack
- Winter Pack
- Parking Sensors (Rear only)

I am sure thats 32k easy? 

RNS510 I can fit myself and get off ebay or use my current one.

3dr Silver DSG with Recaro's for me, quick trip to REVO then find some Porkers to race

So, sounds like there are going to be a few nicely maintained, enthusiast-owned R32's and Ed30's on the forecourts next year...

No chance I am parting with my R32!! Its a keeper forever now with the V6 gone, only way I can ever afford this new R will be about a 2 year old one and then give the R32 to the wife (sorry my second car then) but Ill tell her it is 'hers' so I can have both.... 

My spec above was just to try consider how high the price would be if I were able to buy it new this year, no way I could afford that at the moment.

Just got this month's Car magazine in the post.There's a good 4-5 page article on the Golf R(it seems this is the official model designation,not R20T or R20).
In the article it says the 19" wheel upgrade is only £300,bargain if it is correct.Recaros however are £2000+ again,not such a bargain!

[mac7]

So, assuming the car is £28,500 and the options are per the existing price list:

- Leather seats (not recarros) - £1730
- Centre Armrest - standard
- Cruise Control - £210
- 19 inch wheel upgrade - £300 (as above)
- Privacy Glass - standard
- Lux Pack - £120
- Winter Pack - £245
- Parking Sensors (Rear only) - they come fitted F & R - £400

Synnea, your R will cost £31505... +£410 for metallic paint
