just placed a deposit down on the golf R.....
« on: 08 October 2009, 20:12 »
Can't wait to spec the car up properly!
I've been agonising over whether or not to get DSG....
i've always had manual and i think i'd miss the old stick?

Quick question, how do you put a deposit down on something that doesnt exist yet ?

Have you actually given money to the dealer, or have you just asked them to call you once they are on VW UK ?

i've put a grand down as a deposit and chosen the spec i want
as soon as they get the official spec they will ring me and we'll finalise the details....
But if the price is more than we're expecting £27-28K they will refund the deposit (if i want).
however i imagine i'll still go for the car regardless  :wink:

I'm betting dealers are so desperate for cash they'd take your deposit on the Mk8...  :grin:

My dealer was happy with £500

I know what you're saying but there's no risk and it puts me at the top of the list...

In the Netherlands, you can already order the R... Orders could be taken from last Saturday and delivery expected to be in January... Basic is Euro43,000... I dont think I will be going for it... even if I can afford it... Its just too expensive for a hatchback...
