Re: Another... Who is sill waiting? roll call

Well I thought I was having/had a shocking time of it with VW in parts (which I probably have done in some respects) but finally the car is supposed to arrive at dealers on Monday 17th after nearly exactly 6 months after I ordered it. Our's is pretty much the same Martin but some how you seem to hav...

Re: VW servicing deals

Been told today that anyone taking out a PCP deal with VW for the forseeable future gets the service and maintenance (£250 new deal) for FREE!!!! VW customer services seems to think (and have told my dealers) that my car has arrived in Sheerness but my dealers are still showing as the car being on t...

Re: Another... Who is sill waiting? roll call

That does seem really poor.I was Dec allocation but I ordered in Nov. What I'm angry is that when I ordered I was told that only way these could be ordered were customer orders only and they had to have a signature on the order page so that dealers couldn't flood the system with fake orders so that ...

Re: VW servicing deals

Brilliant-thanks for that. How much do you pay if you mind me asking for that roughly? I did read that about it being just a simple oil change and wondered if it was worth it

Re: VW servicing deals

I'm still not sure on taking this servicing deal for £250 with VW when I sort out my finance in a couple of weeks. Anybody got any good advice about taking it/not taking it? Just seems like oil changes and not an actual service so is it worth it?? Any new news with you martinjrose? Anybody know of a...

Re: Another... Who is sill waiting? roll call

I placed my order in mid November and was finally told that it was confirmed start of March roughly for a BW 15. Was apparently at check point 5 (out of 6 I think but not 100% concrete) and will hopefully be with me end of this month or first few days in May if it makes a sailing I assume. 4 weeks t...

Re: VW servicing deals

So you hammered out a deal when you sorted your finance for servicing? Yeah that's nice bit of help-thanks for that

Re: VW servicing deals

Was that when you first ordered the car or after you had spoken/seen the dealer again Martin? I'll be going up shortly to dealers to discuss part exchange and finance but wondered what kind of deal I should be looking for. Do you know how often the % APR changes when it comes to VW financing deals. ...

Re: Finally some pics of my DBP

Looks awesome! That first picture is the dugs nuts. Well in. I'm counting the days. Did you get anything else done to the car before taking delivery? i.e. paint protector stuff or tracker?

Re: Discounts

I never got a penny off mine and I was told that it was because VW was not allowing dealers to take money off it because it was limited allocation but that was back in mid Nov i suppose. Not sure if that was just rubbish but I certainly tried my best but led to nothing. Always someone else ready to ...

Re: Another... Who is sill waiting? roll call

Not to stick the knife in guys but i DO have a confirmed build week of 15 and I have ordered pretty much most of the popular optional extras except the pana roof so maybe it is that that's holding everything back... I ordered on Nov 20th but was part of my dealers Dec allocation.

Re: Test Drove a Scirocco R and..

A month to go for my new little beauty but my heart sank a little today. I was driving to work on the south coast when I pulled up to a set of traffic lights, after coming off the motorway, and saw a black R with a reg plate of something like 'SC1ROCCO' in lane next to me. Was instantly jealous and ...

Re: My R is in production!

Cool Spamdog. I've no idea to be honest but I'm sure SOMEBODY will tell us shortly... Should get it nicely at the start of March if everything has been done on time. Did your dealer offer you a selection of different reg plate no's before you told him it was a private reg you were going to put on it...

Re: My R is in production!

16 weeks? rocs havn't been built to that time scale for a long time. Many many posters on here have waited in excess of this, its pretty much the norm now. 20-24weeks is the average i'd say. Even VW stopped the scrappage deals on many cars a while back due to being unable to commit to deliver withi...

Re: My R is in production!

Thanks for that Spamdog and it's good that at least some are coming our way soon. It does seem to be unclear to even the dealers what happening with build weeks and they can't tell you much because the germans won't tell them anything I suppose. Mine was a Dec allocation (ordered in Nov) so nought m...

Re: My R is in production!

What was you expectation on the build/delivery date? It was widely known that you could have an extremely long wait for an R when it was ordered. I certainly didn't have any expectations on the delivery date until i heard officially. There's any number of peope who've waited 6months plus for Sciroc...
