MY08 Passat

[azza67]

Hi All,

Have had a 125Kw Passat on order since October for a Mid Febuary delivery. I know its a long lead time but when you want what you pay for.....42 days and counting

Anyway would appreciate any feedback from Passat 125KW Tdi owners on how the new Passat goes in the real world. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!!

Welcome to VWwA azza67

I ordered my MY08 125kw TDI back at the beginning of August. After much pfaffing and with no help from Patricks and VWA I'm told I *might* get it this week(!)

I'm not holding my breath though. Seems my car arrived in Patrick's warehouse mid-dec and as at 31st dec nobody had even touched it for pre-delivery.

Getting a little impatient myself.

Ordered MY08 125 kW Wagon (black, sunroof and iPod adapter as options) on 26 September 2007 with 16 weeks delivery time.

Apparently it made it onto the freighter despite the train drivers' strike in Germany in November and should be ready to go to the dealer from the docks now. Very much hoping for delivery in the next couple of weeks.

Quite excited about this even if I don't quite get the "luxury car" thing when they're a dime a dozen in Germany ... .

Anyway, in the meantime I get to drive our new Colt Convertible Turbo a bit which is good fun as well.

Will let you know how things turn out.

Seeya,
Michael

Update...

The dealer (McCarroll's) just called to say they now have my car and I pick it up Friday afternoon!!!

It's a MY08 125kw TDI Passat Wagon.
Silver, black leather inside.
Sunroof, iPod adaptor, bi-xenon active headlights, bluetooth handsfree and dark tinted windows

I'm trading from a 2000 C-Class Mercedes. Hopefully it's a trade "up".

Spare a thought for me, I set up a calender and it is 228 days today until delivery!!!

That is worst case scenario - dealer told me end of the sydney motor show.

Long wait - I hope its worth it.
