GTi availability

**mhh** · 07-02-2007, 07:28 AM

Hi, newbie here from Adelaide.

If I want a white GTI 5 door DSG, how long would I wait? I'm not fussy on options so could I find one on a showroom floor?

TIA

Welcome mhh!
From what I understand it depends on the dealership.
When I ordered mine, i was quite fussy on the color, and options... but luckily enuff there was one that met all those specifications that had just arrived on the container ship in NSW - and so all they had to do was to bring it down to Melbourne from there - took like about 2 weeks.

As for CW with DSG - the dealer was trying to sell me that coz they had several available with different options loaded - but went with SB instead.

Hope it helps mate!

Just have to tell the dealer what you must have and what you would like and they will try and find one for you.

One dealer even went searching for me off a cold call to him.
Ended up buying the car he found off my local dealer.

Alls fair when buying cars.

Welcome mhh,

I'm sure that you will be able to ring up and see what can be done for you. Even go to the dealers themselves and ask.

Welcome mhh

Make sure you shop around before buying

Look @ interstate dealers if you want a discount

Thanks guys. The car isn't for my use, but for a family member who is thinking of a change. Anyway, I drove both the manual and the DSG GTI this morning and I was very impressed. The dealer has been looking today for a car but warned me it might be hard. I'm not sure if we are ready to do a deal yet, but I've got a new favourite compact car after today's drive.

Edit: Dealer now confirms there are no GTI cars available (to him anyway) in Australia in 5door White with DSG.

I'd get you to independently confirm that claim just quietly.

Or, maybe try saving a few bucks on carsales or somesuch.

I have heard how un-enthusiastic the Adelaide cdealer is. Took em over 6 months to sell a GTI mk5 after their release? Not sure if they even had a demo either at the start? I think I would try Vic dealers as some of SA people have done.
I pity you over there in that respect but I love Adelaide ect!!!!

Welcome to the forum too,
Cheers, Andrew
