Re: At last - I get it tomorrow !

I think when you weigh up the options list / cost, the pano roof is good value for me, really adds light to the interior and I agree looks awesome on the candy white.

Re: At last - I get it tomorrow !

My wait was just under 4 months, have to say VW kept me infomred and had already comitted to an agreed amount for my trade and given the terrible weather I was quite happy to wait. Have to say once you get it, boy is it worth it, the reaction from family and friends is great as well. Just can't stop...

At last - I get it tomorrow !

I can't believe I finally take delivery of my 1.4 (160) tomorrow after a LONG wait. I stay in the Scottish Borders and was due to take delivery last week but as we had 2 foot of snow I could'nt even get out my village!

Will look to get some pics on soon.

Cheers

Re: Purchase Advice

Hi Mrk, Week 10 build, so managed to add a final option (panoramic roof) to my chocies this week. I found that the most difficult thing, deciding what to go for without going overboard. Finally settled on 18" wheels, carpets, rear tints and paonramic roof. Got a great deal on the new car price ...

Re: Purchase Advice

Hi Mrk, For an £11K balance the the PCP payments were approx. £240 pm for 5 yrs then around £9.5K baloon payment. Whereas I could get a £10K loan with Alliance and Leicester over 6 yrs for £199 a month add £1k and have no baloon payment at end. This made the whole deal much much cheaper. For what it...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Just heard from my dealer that my car is build week 10. Bit the bullet and added the panoramic sunroof to my candy white roc's existing options list of 18" wheels, tints and mats.

Re: Purchase Advice

Remember these interest rates are on PCP (Personal Contract Plan or 'options' as VW calls it) so will be higher as there is a large deferred amount (baloon payment) that you pay no interest on.

Re: Purchase Advice

Hi Mrk, FYI the PCP rate of 9.5 expired at end of January and when I asked they quoted me 10.6%, citing the popularity of the car as the reason why I could'nt get a better rate. I declined and decided to go with a personal loan instead which works out far more cost effective and obviously no baloon ...

Purchase Advice

Hi All, I'm hoping to take the plunge soon and purchase a 1.4 TSi and would greatly appreciate the advice of members who've already bought their roc's. Especially any advice on the following - Are VW dealerships open to negotiation on the price of the purchase car or adding on any extras to seal the...
