Re: Waiting on roc for ages.... getting annoyed with wait no

Yeah it was because VW decided to upgrade all the 2l diesel engines to Bluemotion ones, so they had to stop the build line and start afresh with all the models, think the passat and golf were first in line...... the scriocco was probably one of the last... v annoying tho... think I must have ordered...

Re: is the bluetooth kit already installed if you dont order

Someone told me they were and just believed them stupidly...... I did think it made sence tho as thought it was just a mic (which would be buttons) and the bluetooth was built into the CD unit so therefore would just need enabling.... but obviously more to it... I take it its cheaper to pay £250 on ...

Vat and leasing companies?

Hi,

just wondered if anybody knew if the VAT increase will effect personal lease cars? even if the lease company bought the car at 17.5% rate?
ItS a question i didnt ask.... I do expect it to go up but just wanted to check it cant be argued?

cheers
