Brand new Gti ordered. Whoops!
« on: 20 March 2015, 20:04 »
So I went along to a VIP event at my local Stealers today. Was adamant I couldn't afford a new motor.
Walked away having ordered a brand new Gti!

£3k deposit, £320 a month inc. 2yrs servicing. She'll arrive in September!  :evil:

Congrats on the impulse buy!
That's a heck of a wait though,  my dealer is still quoting 3 months max

Ha ha cheers mate! Stealer did say it could show up sooner. Sept. is worst case scenario. Tbh the longer the better as it gives me time to save up the rest of the deposit!

Welcome to the Mk7 fold  :smiley:
Did you feel pressured or did your heart rule your head?
I always imagined these VIP type events to be busy and you've literally no chance of seeing anyone. Obviously not.
I take it the 2 year servicing is dealer specific rather than the VW deal as 2 years seems a strange time!

And what's with the Gti? I thought all VW heads were in the know and it was GTI or just a wannabe!  :grin:

Congratulations on your order  :smiley:

Haha, told you attending the vip event would be a dangerous move.  I reckon you must have been half convinced to order before setting foot in the dealership though   :whistle: 

What spec you gone for?

No pressure, deal was too Gd to turn down.

You make an appointment to see someone at VIP events. I saw the same salesman I have for my last two Gti's. Nice guy.

Yeah 3 yrs would have been better, but £149 for 2 services seemed like a gd deal!

It's a Gti or nothing for me. This is my third!

Thanks booth.

You did and you were right! Tbh I was gonna buy one if they offered me a gd enough a deal, which they did.

It's just a 3dr manual base spec in white. I'm chuffed to bits tho. Will be my first ever brand new car!  :laugh:

Can't beat your first brand new car, worth it just for that new car smell  :laugh:  A long-ish wait but I'm sure it'll be worth it.  Hopefully less effort to keep clean than black too.  My R's due on or before 1st Sept too so may get ours around same time  :smiley:

I canny wait! Hopefully. Yes that was Defo a consideration. Ive had a red, silver and black cars before so wanted a change. Had planned on grey next, but the light great looked cheap and didn't like the dark grey in the flesh. Navy blue seemed a bit boring so white was the only option! Mines due 2nd Sept. A couple of the guys said it seemed a long wait, but Stealer said it may come sooner.

Oh I'd forgotten u were getting an R. Well jell! What colour and spec have u gone for?

I really like the mk7 GTI in White, suits it very much..  How about a nice gloss black roof wrap and matching mirrors, that looks amazing on white....haha, maybe get the car first eh.

I've gone for a 5dr DSG, DBP, 19" Pretoria, DCC, Vienna leather, Keyless, Discover Nav, Rear camera, High beam assist, Voice control.  Had quite a few new cars so not the same level of excitement as with your first time but still looking forward to it.  Stupidly gone for black again, must be mad and have nothing better to do than clean dirty cars  :laugh:  At least I won't have to buy a different colour charged wax  :rolleyes:
