What deal did you get?

[Finance_Analyst]

haha not yet! Somehow the finances do not allow two expensive cars atm!

Sorry mate but they are WRONG unless they have Airfreighted your car. The actual build date will be 2011.
I know because my car is still on the water and not due to land in Australia until the 26th January....it was built in week 42 of 2011.

The Stealer does not know what you are asking... as explained before... all the Scirocco R's coming in (first shipment or these shipments) are MY2012... Model Year.

Ask them for the actual build week, they can screenshot it from their system.

Edit: Update-

Youre right, she was giving me the compliance date. Shes sent me through all the info on the vehicle.

Commission : 2011 / 227xxx
Status : ImpArrived


Production ID
Week : 41
Day : 5
Number: 0154
Year : 2011

Oh well - compliance date is fine due to it being an import this is the date Ill use to sell it in 3/4 years time.


Also - just a heads up, they are looking at 8 months lead time on any DSG vehicle that is currently not already on the way here (according to her stock GM).

Ouch, I'm just about to order tomorrow...and was told by dealer today to expect late June delivery. Planned spec:

Indium Grey
DSG
Sar/Nav
Dynaudio
Sunroof

Don't mind that it is a bit of a wait - my 135i is only just over two years old so there is no urgency to move it on. I had reconciled that it would be June but August or September starts to seem a long way away.

Has anyone been able to get a test drive without having to order one? I was told today by Barloworld Glen Waverley that unless I was going to deal today, I wasn't allowed to test drive their roc because they didn't want to put too many k's on it. Otherwise I'd have to wait till April for there to be more cars...

Try another dealer. It is ridiculous that they would impose such a condition on you.

I test drove one last week at Chatswood Classic in Sydney and I told the dealer specifically that I wasn't going to buy that day. He still let me test drive the car.

Contact VWA and complain...that really is not kosher.

Tell the dealer your tossing between the scirocco and the megane. Then watch them bend over.. and of course you want to mention you want to test drive both before committing.

Yeah I would never deal with Barloworld Glen Waverley. When I bought my Polo I went in there for service and all they told me was that they didn't have the car there, but I could have a brochure as a substitute. No follow up whatsoever. I only went to them for a drive since they're the closest. Will definitely be sending an e-mail to VWA.

I actually have, and they're just up the road too! The salesman didn't even ask a single question about me to gauge how serious I was. He probably thinks the Scirocco's as rare and as magical as a unicorn.

Well of course they are...

So have bought the white DSG that was available from McCarrols in Waitara NSW (59k on the road in VIC - ETA 20th Jan) ! Wohoo. There will be a White DSG with Sunroof and Dynaudio available from VIC Geelong Dealer for April delivery if anybody is interested.
