I just looked, that’s unreal 🤯 I don’t understand how the prices vary so dramatically

We get a right seeing to over here I’m afraid! High taxes on cars, particularly anything performance that doesn’t come with batteries  :wink:

Has anyone had any update regarding build dates or anything yet…? I was told to wait till the 1st of may for the system to be “most up to date” but I am inpatient, and I’m still waiting to hear back from my dealer for anything regarding what’s the hold up with a confirmed build date, because if it was alloys holding it up I’d happily change to get the car quicker,  :cool:

I heard from my dealer that delays are specification dependent but we did not talk details. My car did not leave Wolfsburg for 17 days and I am hoping it was linked to my Black Warmenau wheel choice.

That’s a shame King Monkey. Did you ever get a confirmed build week? Looking on Autotrader, there are some new GTIs with over 15% discount, so I get your decision. Did you get your deposit back?

Cheers. Build week is in June. Not bothered if I get the deposit back tbh. The longer I thought, the less it made sense for me. The 45 is hands down the best GTI ever had but I find the ride harsh enough in this.
