Pulman couldn't do a deal Matt so I've gone with Lookers at Northallerton. Jack the sales guy has been superb at Lookers can't fault him.

I assumed Mick had got back to you when you said you'd ordered. Maybe his hands are tied, Pulman does seem to expect to have to discount less at the Durham branch than at the Sunderland branch. So Lookers Northallerton was significantly cheaper than Lookers Silverlink/Scotswood Road? Odd situation when branches of the same company can vary so much in what you can get in discount.

I didn't even ask Silverlink Matt as they knew what I was looking for and no one bothered to ask me. The 2nd hand sales guy I saw was a nice chap but I wanted new and none of the new car guys bothered to come over.

Isn't that always the way in every shop? Go window shopping to kill time while the missus has nipped into Next to look at clothes and you're beating the sales people off with a sh!tty stick. Actually go in same shop ready to buy something and they seem to disappear!  :grin:

Happened to me just yesterday shopping for a tablet. Flitted between Argos and Currys at Silverlink yesterday to compare and first visit to Currys they were swarming me. Went back after deciding Currys had the best deal, wallet in hand and it was like I couldn't give them my money.

I don't think BW45 will be the facelift just whatever runout options they decide to add to the old version. I don't think the facelift will start build until next year.

Was thinking that too Breezasib. Will be interesting to see what they do if anything for post bw45 cars.

evo1986 has already given the production end date of the mk7 which is the end of the year. BW45 is unrelated and his last thread on the subject states VW UK are waiting on Wolfsburg to decide what they'll do with the run out few weeks.
For some markets they've already stopped production.

A lot of it will depend on the order books and parts in stock or even excess stock.
Popular models will likely not get much extra kit but maybe a few sweeteners as they're last of line models.
Wouldn't it be funny if a load of cars turned up with leather interiors when their owners wanted cloth!

The new Golf hasn't even been previewed yet so is still some way off. There looks like there will be a bit of a gap between runout and facelift.

I ordered cloth seats for my Tiguan and then got free leather. I do like the cloth seats in the gti but if it came with free leather I wouldn't be disappointed  :whistle:
