Booth,you say long wait,I was expecting a 6 month lead time but my dealer reckons I may have my order by Xmas.
I went in and showed him the orange wheels quote and he matched it without hesitation.I got the price even before we had discussed what I was doing with present car.
It is an Inchscape dealership by the way.
Surely he's wrong it won't be here by Xmas will it.
AndyG, Xmas seems somewhat optimistic for a late Oct order, unless they had a cancelled slot available. I would have thought March delivery more realistic. You might have a very belated xmas pressie
I'm not bothered about a long wait, had a 4/5month wait on my last 2 GTIs so it's the norm for me. If I order it later in the new year then I wouldn't want it till Sept anyway. I could order it now but a bit too busy at the moment to really focus on it.
I'll be doing the same with the DTD/Orangewheels quote but my local dealer, EuroCanterbury are always extremely reluctant. To be honest I'm not sure why they bother unlocking the showroom doors at all. My previous mk5 was bought via orangewheels and was pain free so I don't mind going down that route. Had to go up to Macclesfield to collect but nice day out.
