Second thoughts

If I manage to talk to the dealer sweetly, you never know, but they may let me keep my "slot" for a month or two to see if I can find a suitable nearly new car?!

I need to check with VW directly on the situation with build slots and if the date is just too far away. Dealer was unable to give me even an accurate estimate.

Sometimes it really helps to have small print - lack of it is more complicated!!

Here's a nearly new, but not enough of a saving! Would just be to get my hands on one now!! Shame the site has no info on the spec, as this looks like leather, but no idea on extras.

Looks like it has 18" wheels, bluetooth, nav and dynaudio too

Thanks all for comments.

Assuming that I can change the order or go for a nearly new, what's the view on the DSG mated with the GTD? I test drove a 140PS with DSG and I liked it, but it was neither a long test drive nor a true match to the manual GTD.

[I know there are DSG threads about, so this is just for those who have read this far!]

I love the DSG box on any car.

I'd have a GT TDI with the DSG box no problem but at only 3k extra I wanted the extra 30 BHP, body styling, wheels, suspension, black head lining, steering wheel, better seats and last but not least the gtd/i only special tractor grey paint etc :-)

The GTD is a fantastic package with DSG and IMO is a must
