I have a few questions about buying a new beetle - my girlfriend's putting a deposit down on one this week and just wanted to clear a few things up.
She's getting a Denim blue Manual, 118TSI with panoramic sunroof, leather and xenons - what's the best price we can get one for? I know that's a pretty lazy generic question - but is there a rough idea how much we can knock a dealer down by? The local guys here are amazing and I'm on really good terms with all of the staff being one of only a few vw nuts in town - so I'm hoping they'll play ball a little.
I've always kind of ignored all the TSI problems because I never thought it would effect me as I don't want to own new car, but is there anything to keep in mind with this engine? Does it have the oil issues like the Polo GTI etc?
And How tunable is it? What kind of figures and what kind of brands will tune a 2015 118tsi?
As for lowering - is it just MK6 Golf Coilovers I'll need? And I'm assuming 5X112 unlike the last 5x100 Beetle.
Also it's going to be a new build and the dealer said it'll take 4-6 to build - how long are we realistically going to wait - she's not exactly patient.
