As above, there are bound to be cars in the system by now that won't have a long lead time.
Don't spec it up too silly and it won't cost you an arm and a leg to buy a new one.
Personally I'm a big fan of ex-demos as if they're bought at the right time they're bargains and they have a 3 year warranty. If a VW clutch can't last more than 6500 miles that won't be driven flat out by everybody all the time then it's a bad thing! I've never driven a demo *that* hard and most demo cars I've been in (quite a lot) tend to go quite well as they've been run in the Italian way!
If you're only going to keep it a few years then I wouldn't worry too much about who's driven it before, let VW's warranty dept worry about that. It it's a long term car then buy new.
