Golf R Estate 7.5 ordering/delivery dates?

[sixmillionways]

Hi all, new to the forum, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn't see any specific references 

Currently driving a BMW 116i and looking to upgrade to a Golf R Estate

My local dealer informs me that VW are no longer taking new orders on the Mark 7, and that new orders for the 2017 facelift version will not start until April with delivery early 2018 - is this really true?!

Second question is that my local dealer has a good spec Mark7 R Estate available now, but without DCC - any thoughts on not having this option?

Plenty of them on eBay if you want one now

My R estate as its a rental does not have DCC, my hatch did and wifes does have DCC and not really missed it.

Ride is a little firmer than the hatch (when unladed) so if its got 19s may be a bit more noticeable which I think is a damping issue rather than springs

Barrym - true, I'm just tempted by getting one brand new with my exact spec but if I have to wait until early 2018 for delivery then that becomes a lot less appealing!

Wigit - thanks, that's interesting to hear

I don't think the dealers know jack at the moment about any facelifted golf orders.

I would expect that from when the order books open, you'd expect delivery in 20 to 30 weeks.

My dealer told me that orders for the Mk7.5 start in February. Though I can see it taking a couple of months more for the Golf R orders, with deliveries expected after the summer.

DCC is a must have option for me. It depends on the roads you drive and what you are used to.

Did you ask for a test drive?

I'd love to know what dealer said this, so that I could steer well away

I have spoke to 3 different dealers recently about seeing if they any golf R's in, and 1 did not know anything about if they were doing a facelift on the R. Another said April for order books to open and another said Feb.

If you want an R estate now there is one in Doncaster VW in limestone grey I have just walked past this morning.

The irony is its fake, doesn't have the valves but sounds way better than the hatch work that one out
