Ordered myself a shiny new Gti last week, paid the £500 deposit to get the ball rolling and im due to go in to sign the paperwork this Sat. However since ordering ive been looking around various forums including this one and seen many reports of people quoting 5/6/7(!!) month lead times on Polo GTIs! Also saw someone post that theyd ordered one the week before me and they said they werent expecting it till the end of October!
I was told by the dealer that it "should" be ready for September the 1st (shiny new reg!
) but now im starting to think he might of told me that to secure the deal (commission for him?) and its going to be longer, maybe a LOT longer?! He was very sure to point out that there "could be delays"....Just wondering what you guys thoughts were on that? Is it something they do very often? basically lie to secure an order i mean... Reason i ask if that im rather impatient and dont really want to wait 6 months for a car! Also, he said there was "one in the pipeline" that would be ready in 12 weeks whatever that means. So im wondering wether to try and get that one instead, even if it means not having a new reg.
However if i do that i dont know if you can retrofit the options i have ordered: Tints, convenience pack (dimming RVM + rain sensor), sensor pack (rear p.sensors + c.control), RCD 510 and MFSW. Any ideas if these could be added later? or which ones can assuming some cant? Main ones i want are the cruise control (lots of long motorway driving) and the RCD510
Sorry for the VERY long 1st post on here lol!
For those who dont want to read all that:
1) Is expecting delivery 1st Sept for one ordered around in the last week realistic?
2) Can i cancel/change my order from a built-to-order GTI to one already in the pipeline?
3) Can you retrofit the options i have ordered?
Any responses will be GREATLY appreciated as i only really have till Sat morning to decie what to do! Thanks in advance guys!!
but the cost of the small loom which, plugs in to the stalk is expensive!
