If i order today

I orderded my GTi on 11th November been told it will be ready for pick up either the 3rd or 8th March.

However unless the factory have got a plan to really ramp up production, I can't see that, as look at the August orders.......

So will you be eligible for the 2.5% vat discount?

No as I don't want it till the new reg, and it looks as if it won't be here until at least then, but maybe later in March, then I will pay 17.5% VAT.

The offer VW is running does not cover cars registered after end of Feb 2010.

Unless they change it, to match Ford and Vauxhall, or in his desperation Brown decides to try and buy some votes with an extension of this.

Therefore I worked out a deal based on the assumption of paying the extra.

I'd ditto Bobo's comment.

From what I can tell, very little appears set in stone. Any dealer giving cast-iron build dates are to be doubted.

The dealers words were, if the car couldn't be produced in 12 weeks and roll over to March then i would still only pay 15%.


I asked what if there was a problem at the factory and the dealer got held up on production and it rolled on to March? He reply was it was unlikely and if that did happen i would still only pay 15%.

I'm going to triple check this on Friday when i speak with him.

VW (not dealer) don't really want to know about compensation until you have waited 20 weeks. If i was you i would get that in writing i made the mistake of not doing it in August.

What was the reason for getting rid of the R32?

What was the reason for getting rid of the R32?

Well i've had the the car since 2004 and felt like a change. It had done 50k so not really that high. With the way fuel was going, i just felt like something with a smaller engine and a bit cheaper to run.

It's a superb car and without any doubt the best car i've ever owned. I'll miss the v6 note and the incredible traction in all conditions!

I'm also considering the GTD but i'll probably go with the GTi. I'll get a chance to experience both this weekend.
