Re: Good Deal?

Where do you live? Gilders Sheffield offered me £500 discount and promised to waive the VAT increase approx 2 weeks ago with a half decent trade in for my current car. Had to wait until March for a new one though. They did have a couple of used models to sell and a new white diesel with panoramic ro...

Re: Speedo shows way off

Re: VAT

I ordered mine a couple of days ago and because my dealer had an allocated build slot (due to a cancellation), they said that they VW would cover the VAT change. Got it in writing as well so all good! If you are going to order one, try to do it this month and you may get lucky. I've been searching ...
