I was gettting March quotes from alot of places back in August 
thats taking the urine! i mean considering its the recession and not many ppl buying. there are 100s of thousands of all brands parked up in the essex coast- whatsitcalled?.
its because they aint making them if they aint going to be bought. when u add all those combos with the options -they would have loads of unsold stock. but if you're like me just wanted a "normal one" then they're more likely to make them b4 hand as they know its popular - how i got mine in 2 weeks. the audi tt when it came out mark 2, i got that pretty quick also. alot depends on what spec. blk, silver with leather would mean you get it asap. if you're got options then unless they have one on their database then they got to build it.
you know u could ask to see their database to see whats out there, brand new. u may have to compromise on certain stuff like your must have fluffy steerinhg wheel.
In august I was happy with 5 doors and basic spec. I did ask to see whats on the system at 2 different dealers and said i would gladdy go for any specs just show me what you can get, there was 2 GTIs on the system thats it!. + the one, one of the dealers had just got in for the showroom (met black everything bar sunroof/xenons). The other dealer had sold his in the showroom. oh and only one of the 2 was basic spec in metallic black. That car the very next day had been ordered by the dealership that had sold all his in the showroom to replace them. All wanted list price not interested as they could not get the stock to sell!
Think the GTI is hard to get try getting a 1.4TSI golf or a scirocco they had sold out till feb/march back in August! VW cannot keepup for demand for the 1.4 fast enough. Recession what recession dealers don't know the meening of the word. I know people who work at many different brands and say they cannot get cars fast enough. Mainly down to the promotions they have on or scrappage. Its a crazy world at the moment that makes no sence.
