Scirocco Central

_DSC6639-2.jpg Well Mine arrived today and I have to say it goes like a missile! Can't wait till it's run in. Mine came on Conti tyres. Hopefully attached is a photo which isn't quite Wast Water but one of Wiltshire's less famous white horses in the distance. DSG is a little different to the Golf b...

Sent my finance papers special delivery on Monday and had an email late Tuesday offering delivery the week after (Tuesday 14th). I've delayed for a day but they have yet to confirm. Delivery looks like it's being sorted by the lease company rather than the dealer. Mine is from Newcastle too and bein...

They asked for the 3 months worth initial payment now so I paid by debit card over the phone rather than risk having a cheque bounce as the cheque book was from the last decade. Paperwork in the post but the car is not at the dealers yet. Hopefully I'll get a call to organise everything soon as the ...

Wow, that looks great, both the scenery and the car. Can you let me know the location?
Good to hear you love the car. Paid my deposit today so I should have it maybe middle of next week.

Oh dear, mine is the same, indium grey and DSG so hopefully not a bad omen. I thought the factory and dealer would both test drive the car. And I would guess it's driven on and off the boat. Hope it's all sorted soon and doesn't put you off the car. Mate of mine had a BMW 440 delivered a week last W...

Wow, so it got through the PDI and went wrong after you drove it away?

Good shout about a debit card. Avoids the wait for the cheque to clear. Also my last cheque was dated Nov 2011 so who's to say the cheques are still valid. I'll call the dealers on Monday before I send the paperwork special delivery. Might speed things up too. Just wondering if you will be offered a...

Got my reg no and vin with all the paperwork to print off, sign and return to the dealer with my driving licence and the deposit. Hopefully delivered 15-March. They want a cheque for the deposit so hopefully I still have a cheque book somewhere. Excess mileage is 9p per mile but I'm unlikely to be p...

Good news hilder.
Yes, i think the deals were around mid to late January. Was looking at a Golf R but the Scirocco was £100 cheaper a month so was too good to resist.

Mine was build, week commencing 20-Feb Then went straight to in transit on 24-Feb Now in uk on 3-mar You should only be a week behind hilder given your build week. But I guess you can't guarantee that any 2 cars will follow the same schedule. You not worried about them detecting the remap when you h...

The VW website says 7 days to reach the dealer after it arrives in the U.K. That's where I am at the moment as my status changed from in transit today. Just a week to go! I'd love to do a remap but on a lease car? Not sure I'd want to risk it even it was removed before handing it back. Has anyone ta...

Mr Hammonds I take it you have used http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/track-my-order/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Do you know what build week you were? It will be interesting to read your first impressions of the car. I've not driven a petrol car since my Cayman S got c...

I'd ask for the order number from wherever you ordered the car. I got mine after a week and have been tracking it just in case it changes status. There is a facility to get text messages but this didn't work when the build date was confirmed. Who was the car ordered through? And who is the supplying...

Cruise in my mk5 golf tdi was 150 +vat retro fit at hazzydayz so a total no brainier. I think this was cheaper than it would have been on the original price list. Same stalk for the R is 395 +vat so must be more to it on the R. For a 2 year lease I'll just have to put up with it. I'll ask the dealer...

National vehicle solutions have a special offers list which is worth looking at. I'm sure other sites do the same. Good deals on the Leon Cupra at the moment but not sure on delivery dates. You can get a quote for any car but the good deals are worth searching for. Not sure why the R deals were so g...

I've found a few decent pics of indium grey Sciroccos on autotrader. I'll try to post some when mine arrives. Also have a carbon grey mk7 GTD which had a minor prang last week (o/h not me!) but it should be fixed up by then. The colour comparison should be interesting. Not looking forward to mine si...

Me too. My DSG R is being built w/c 20 Feb and is indium grey as they had run out of white and the no cost urano grey. No options available and I'll really miss cruise control. How can a car with heated full leather seats which must be a £1000+ option and sat nav not be offered with cruise as standa...
