Re: New GTI

I was thinking about making a quick, anonymous, online survey to collate peoples order dates / delivery dates (or estimates). Would anyone be interested in that?

Re: New GTI

Would be interesting to see a table of everyone who has ordered a GTI, what gearbox and 3/5 dr and then order date and delivery date, might help people in the future.

VW's website does say DSG gearboxes could take longer though, so that might be a reason, although 6 months is still way too long

Re: New GTI

Ouch, that doesn't sound very good at all. Have they given you any ideas as to why it's taking so long? Have you ordered a 3 or 5 door, as they say that 5 door can take up to 5 months? Got my order number today so at least I can track it online and not nag the dealer for updates every week. I did ke...

Re: New GTI

I've just ordered mine, dealer says they've placed the order today. They reckon "end of November at the latest", but obviously it's just an estimate

Re: New GTI

Has anyone discussed with their dealers the years free insurance offer? All the stuff on VWs website says only available for cars registered before end of September, my dealer said they probably will extend it again, but can't guarantee it. Seems a bit rubbish to miss out on an offer if we order bef...

Nice pics there, did you purposely get GT1 in the number plate or was that just a happy coincidence?

Re: New GTI

Thanks for the replies all. I've got quotes from DriveTheDeal and CarWow and I've already got a good price very close to the cheapest online price, and he's coming back to me with a further offer this week so fingers crossed I'll be ordering. Once it's all sorted I'll happily share the prices I get ...

Re: New GTI

Thought I'd create myself an account, as I'm very close to ordering a new GTI Going for the 3dr Manual, didnt get to test drive one though. Nightmare trying to find one, had to settle for a DSG test drive and a play around with the toys in other Polos. Looking at a fair bit of kit, sport pack, Sat N...
