Wait for a 67 plate? Really? You'd wait over 2 months for your car and your dealer will be happy to have it hanging around for that length of time? One of you has paid money and got nothing.

Meh, I'd just go for it man.

Definitely get it now. When I bought my mk6 GTD, I took delivery in the middle of July - didn't even consider waiting 6 weeks for the new registration plate and never once regretted my decision.

Since the current registration plate system was introduced, I don't think people really place that much significance on whether it's a 17 or a 67 plate. You'll also have the benefit of being able to use it and enjoy it during the summer months. If it's sitting around at the dealer's for two and a half months, where would the dealer keep it stored? If outside, it could get bombarded with bird poo, which if left on the car would etch the paintwork. It could also be at a greater risk of being damaged at the dealer's than if you had it. If it's in the dealer showroom, it could have numerous would-be customers and their children crawling all over it for over two months!

Get it now and enjoy! :smiley:

Deffo get it now. Life's too short. It'll make sweet FA difference what's on the plate in 3-4 years time.

Sounds like a nice spec too. Throw up some pics.
