i presume yours was "ready-made" one then , as opposed to one you specced from the factory?  nothing wrong with that, but personally i'd prefer to spec my own given i'm spending such a large amount of money.

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.

Why would anyone want to spend at least £25K and not have a choice?
I'd rather wait the 3 or 4 months to get what I was wanting.

Agreed. Though I can see the argument that if someone wants a golf for a year or so and then change car, better to get asap and keep options low so as not to suffer quite as much depreciation.

For the rest of us who keep the car longer, defo better to enjoy what we really want and the cost of options is spread over a longer period so it makes more sense.


Kev - not long now mate!!
