Which colour will you be ordering?

[Gryzor]

I know it ain't available but what is that blue called...?

Not sure, is it "Rising Blue"?

[monkeyhanger]

Rising blue is what is available on the current Scirocco (miine is rising blue), very similar in colour to the old "R32" blue.

[Mr GTD]

I know what your saying but to me it looks different to the rising...

Regarding the blue on the configurator  called night blue, does anyone know if this looks anything like the shadow blue that was available on the Mk5 and Mk6?

 really quite liked that colour but not entirely sure about this shade and whether it would suit the car. That blue that they used at the Paris motor show looked fanatastic but gather from comments above it's not available here.

I have a feeling that the car in this video is night blue.

Thanks mate. Based on that I think I'll save myself £500 and go with Tornado Red!

Personally don't think that blue will do the GTI/D's justice one bit...

Agreed, apart from the white, red and carbon grey there is nout that i'd consider.

Traditional GTI colours have always been red, black, white and silver.

No silver orders yet?

New poster here, Hello everyone!

I currently have a rising Blue Scirocco 170TDI. I ordered a pearlescent black MK7 5DR GTD on Friday. There is no discount on these locally (Newcastle). The snotty attitude of Benfield Silverlink made me go back to Pulman in Sunderland where I was offered £500 more part ex than at Silverlink and the £329 service pack thrown in for nowt. Overall I got about £750 more p/x than Parkers/Glass' would indicate for my Scirocco, so I suppose it is like getting just over a grand discount inc service pack.

I didn't go any further afield for haggling as I know the salesman at Sunderland, who indicated how far he could stretch his manager on a car with currently limited allocation availability. If I was buying the same car next year i'd be looking to get a sizeable discount - it always costs more to be an early adopter, and between Pulman and Benfield they have all the dealerships covered in a 50 mile radius.

I'm expecting it in June, but yesterday I got the official order acceptance paperwork which states a "handover commitment date" of 01 May 2013. Not sure whether that means car will be available then or that is the date of no return e.g. commencement of build.

Solutions figures right now are amazing for a GTD right now in terms of final rental  figure/guaranteed future price. My agreement indicates a 55.7% retained value. Compared with the terms for a 150TDI GT at 47%, the actual cost to runa GTD for 3 years on solutions is actually cheaper than getting a GT on solutions!

Also went to benfield silverlink and was promptly fobbed off tbh.
Then visited Pullman who were so much better its unbelievable....genuinely wanted my business.
But got an exceptional deal from vw Chester. Have to travel but the discount I received more than makes up for it.
Oh, and I have a horror story about benfield but that's another story!
