Yes but try nicking a VW brochure, rarer than new Polos. A mate once drove me to pick up my car following a service and afterwards showed me he'd 'acquired' a boxed VW Beetle-shaped computer mouse. I'm pretty sure he didn't return it....
Not sure if you're referring to me but mine has already been build and is in transit and it actually should arrive in the UK late tomorrow! Regarding waiting for the new plates, I'm not too concerned about the resale value, price difference will be negligible and I'd rather just drive the car and enjoy it. Plus my left knee can't cope using a manual anymore, I need the DSGmike sel wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 5:45 amVery nice spec. I know your going enjoy, so working on your build week of next week you are looking at an end July collection, assuming it is that are you going to collect end July or wait until the 68 plate? I guess either way the car will be the same age personally I would just collect but I know the newest plate means a lot to some people. I don't think it effects the eventual sales value ? does anyone know if resale values are greater for a car that is the same age just on a 68 plate as opposed to one registered 4 weeks earlier on a 18 plate?MrLems wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 7:30 pmGTI+ Pure white with black roof packVelodyne1200 wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 9:53 pm MrLems:
Nice one - what spec did you end up going for? I had to compromise by getting a standard car in White. It still looks good though - can't wait until Friday.

You must be one of the first to collect a GTI - enjoy it!
Said Alice, couldn't resist. A 2 month shut down makes no sense, I've known folk work in factories which never shut down except for essential maintenence or a complete refitt of machinery, equipment, etc. Following 'diesel gate' one would think if anything VW would work overtime to ensure new Polos were readily available, seen as their new ad campaign seems to be kicking in, ironically showing an empty showroom....
I went for the Polo , ordered late January. I see the dealer today to complete the paper work (car is in Sheerness and has been from the 15th so must be close to being delivered to the dealer) I should be given a collection date today. If I had experienced further delays (like the 42 weeks others have been reporting) I was getting ready to drive 300 mtrs up the road from the VW dealer into the Audi dealer and buy a Q2. its about the same size as the Polo just a bit longer. but as it is my Polo seems like its going to be in my hands in the a few days time.barrywi wrote: ↑Fri May 25, 2018 2:00 am Yes, and she fell down a Rabbit( Golf in the US) hole and that is how I feel now about this situation . Maybe Putin and Trump are orchestrating this with fake and counter -fake information . Or is the Polo being secretly made in North Korea in those tunnels and now he has blown them up ( allegedly!) no more Polos will come out of the Holos? Sorry , can't sleep and trying to cheer myself up ( No alcohol has been consumed in writing this post)
The information sources from VW don't exactly give us confidence that they are concerned about making and delivering our cars, do they!
