Its a shame VW don't have a scheme similar to the one BMW have where you can go and pick up direct from the factory...

I think paint protection is definetly worth it - cost me £245 but as Doc found out, you can haggle on the price  :wink:

Well if it is a week 13 build then I would expect it to be coming at the same time as mine... Your Stealer sounds like a W a n k e r  :angry: which unfortunately a lot of them are.  I have only heard good things about a very few Stealers including my own - Wolsey of Ipswich - which is why I ordered a GTI from them.  Otherwise it would have been the import route for me.  At the end of the day you are spending £22k+ on a car with them and they don't appear to really care.. not a good sign.

The stealer should know what stage your car is at cause all he has to do is put your details in the database.  He does sound like a t@sser.  As soon as my stealer has found out any info on my car he has let me know whats going on.

  • What do you think it's worth?
When a car shows as awaiting ship it should be with you within 14 days but there can be exceptions. VW incorrectly changing its status on the screen for example. Alot will depend on how busy your dealer is as well in terms of turning it around when it arrives. They'll be keen to get it out asap anyway because they want your money..... :grin:

VWmd we're not all t0ssers and W@nkers :sad:
What's your best price for cash?
