Cars at dealers, the question is do I...

[marriedblonde]

Collect it as soon as possible and save the difference in Vat or wait for the 1st March and pay the extra £600 odd quid?

Went to see it today and it looks lovely, sat there with my plate on it ready and waiting, Very tempted to get is ASAP but should I wait?

Views?

get asap i dont know how you could wait i picked mine up as soon as it was ready use the £600 to put a private plate on nobody will know the age then

Hard choice really, I'm not sure what I would do in the same position. £600 Less and Car a month sooner or slightly higher residual in 3 years when you sell it.

Think I would take the Car ASAP, pocket the £600 and worry about it in 3 years time or so. I'm sticking a Private reg on mine anyways, Id rather than than telling everyone when it was registered

I'm in the same position...i'm waiting! Yes it's an extra £500 but i've just sold my car for an extra £2250 on top of vw offered so i don't feel like i lost out!

waiting a week is hard enough married i don't know how anyone can consider waiting a month! if you have got a private plate on it anyway go get it & enjoy, the money you save will cover most of your insurance or some juicy mods

I rdered it back in augest...

It's got my plate on it alrady and it is looking lovely in black. I doubt I will keep it more than a year as I cover a lot of miles and like to change my cars ofter...

I've also got a miltek non res sat here waiting to go on.

Decisions, decisions, decision...

GO GET IT!!!!!!

[leanneq]

If your not fussed about resale etc, then get it! I don't have a private plate hence why i don't want a 59! I ordered August too so for me i think another 4 weeks won't make much difference!

Get it and then drive it up to Gaydon saturday for the meet

[jen308]

I am picking mine up on Tuesday, just couldnt wait till 1st March. Reckon I am gonna get a private plate for it anyway as the choice of Reg was very uninspiring!! Go get it!!!

This. Now mush!

[wigit]

get it and get that zorst on

I am picking mine you this coming week, and it has 59 plate as well.

I don;t think such a cult car ( lets face it, its becoming a cultish car) would get affected by the age that much. 2 years perhaps.

the design looks so 'ageless' i really think it would not age in appearance for at least 3 years. If you look around you and those up and coming designs, there is nothing really can compare to the scirocco design. Except perhaps the new alfas.

so i think its best to pick it up and start using it. a day longer at the hands of the dealer could mean all kinds of risks like people scratching it by accident, dealer on fire etc etc.

Decision made I am going to get it as soon as possible. I am sure the difference come resale time will only be a few hundred pounds anyway and the VAT saved will pay for the remap.

.. and the VAT saved will pay for the remap.

Exactly!! good choice

Well after being all decisive I thought I would wait to get my car. I was offered a shocking part ex for my current car so decided I would get the rocco on the 1st March and advertise my car in the meantime. Well I put it up for sale satruday night it was sold the next morning to a trader.

Needless to say I am without a car so getting my rocco thursday morning :-)
