Ordered a MK5 today!
« on: 07 May 2008, 21:31 »
Hi all

Ordered a Steel Grey 3 Dr Manual GTI today.....I am just a little excited!

Options are: MFSW, Armrest with Ipod dock, Rear Tints, Cruise Control, 18" Monza's and Parking Sensors.

The downside is the 2 - 3 weeks wait for it to get here from Emden.......already counting the days!

Thats the same spec as the car i just sold, its on vw's forecourt now for £22495!, but you could of had it for £20k and saved you a fortune!!. it had the same spec as youve just ordered!.  How much was yours with the extra's?

edit, just seen mine had to more doors and a proper Gearbox , sorry! :wink:

Welcome by the way, and know how your feeling, the wait is truely worth it!  :smiley:

HAHA! I got it for just over £21K on a pcp deal through VW at a local dealership (Inchcape). autobytel.com are part of Inchcape, got the discount through them but dealt with dealership.

perhaps the exact spec you ordered wasn't already in the pipe line hence your longer wait for it being built.

Good choice Tom :cool: Welcome to the forum :smiley:

The waiting is the worst part - driving away in it is the best :cool:
