Drove down to my dealer earlier and to be fair to him the whole place is absolutely manic there. He told me they have been trying to add the tech pack on and would let me know today.

Still nothing concrete but did confirm the price at £1240

£1240 for a GTI/GTD and £1840 for an R. Bloody cheek.  :rolleyes:

It's a mistake by VW, I'm sure of it. The GTI/D will soon be at £1840.
I can't see VW putting DNS poverty in the GTI/D as standard this early in the model cycle when there's still a stupidly long waiting list for UK orders.

Just popped down to my dealer and the Tech Pack was added to my GTI order at £1240. The guy said the dealers only had the bulletin yesterday about it. It was estimated for a week 19 build so will have to wait until Tuesday to see if that has changed.

I guess knowing the sales guy is always going to help - he's never going to forget you!  :grin:

I went to school with his Mrs and i used to be his golf coach. I walked into the dealership and didn't realise he worked there.
i went in trying to figure out how long it would take me to save up to get the payments to where i needed them and walked out ordering one. Typical. My girlfriend was happy  :huh: although i think we may get rid of her mini and get her a polo gti soon. That looks like a good piece of kit.

Small world eh?  :laugh:

It's funny how many people wander into dealerships just looking for a bit of advice and end up ordering (and yet many more can walk in knowing exactly what they want and end up walking out empty handed!)

Good shout with the Polo GTI as you can get huge discounts off them right now.

And fingers crossed for the nav pack staying at £1240, it's well worth it at that price.  :smiley:
