Picking up my Passat wagon today. Any more last minute tips? I'm so excited! It's been a very long 5 months!
congrats.... look at how much fuel they have in the tank (was lucky to even get 1/4 of a tank which doesnt last long!)
Same... anything to look for in particular would be good.... 5 months OMG.
I ordered mine 2 weeks ago from a dealer in Brisbane for a delivery buy June 30. They had 2 cars coming from another dealer, either white or grey, both with Sat Nav, reversing camera and powertail gate.
They called me Wednesday to say it would be a 4 month wait as the vehicles got sold. I cancelled my order and then went to another dealer yesterday that had a grey wagon with Sat Nav and Power tail gate.
I pick it up today at 5pm!!! :D 1 day wait!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :driver:
Congrats Apom... looking forward to seeing it, esp when I get my grey sedan too!!!
Good work apom !
Do yourself a favour and head west up Mt Nebo Rd in"manual" mode, I'll put money on it you can't take the grin off your face :biggrin:
Cheers all. Picked mine up yesterday and all was good. Tank was basically full which was great. They also took us for a quick spin and demonstrated the Park Assist. So cool! My wife and I were ecstatic and loved the leather seats. Aahh. Everything was according to our spec and all things seem to be working so far. Went for a wheel alignment straight away and they found the fronts to be out by 3mm, which is enough to cause a fair bit of bad and uneven wear. So that was worthwhile. $66 from Bob Janes Prospect for front and rear.
The 5 month wait was due to them not having any stock in Oz based on our specs. It had to be built for us and delivered. So a couple of months for building (they have to schedule it), a couple of months on a ship and then all the stuff that happens in Oz. It has been a very long wait, but it has been worth it. It's a MY09 125 TDI wagon in white, not an R36, but I love it just the same. Will post some pics up soon. Hopefully get the camera out this weekend. If we're not too busy playing with the car! :)
Ewww! Too much information!!! :eek: :brutal:
