Yeah I used to buy from Liam in Edwin Mays but of late they have been too expensive. Who did you deal with VWTM545?

PS Hows the new showroom looking I haven't been in of late to see it after the renovations?

Bought through Jonathan.
I got them down to be cheaper than Agnews! They didn't want to deal with me. They maybe thought I was a time waster due to my young age!

The show room is looking good, it's no bigger though!

I bought from England (Kent) and drove it back - saved thousands (prob around £4.5k in the end after selling MK6 privately and discount taking in all expenses).
Agnews didn't want to give any discount but hounded me for weeks by phone to get my order. Sent them a (partially blanked out) copy of my order from mainland dealer which shut them up finally!
Other local dealers were not making any move on price either at the time (May last year).

Aye dealers over here don't like dropping prices! I got a good bit off mine in October, but that's due to having bought my old car through them and a few others in the family!
Was it much hassle getting it in England?

Jonathan is a nice guy and a great dealership :smiley: Any pics of the wagon VWTM545? I will have to keep an eye out for you as I would be in Ballymena quite often...

Rossc0 when do you get the R? I see Agnews have a 5 door white R @ Boucher. It looks the nuts as I drive past it each morning...

That's the one I test drove, it's lovely. DSG too.

Probably 3-4 months I'm guessing...only ordered recently

Well jealous Rossc0. I will be watching out for you in a few months then. Do you drive the M2 daily?

None at all - I have family in Kent and went to their local dealer when I was over last May. This turned out to be the 'main' DTD dealer lol.
Using broker sites from now on for any more new cars I have the fortune to buy - its really no hastle for potential major savings.
Just got the ferry back. Bit of a long drive back but worth it (9hrs to Cairnryan).
