Has anyone discussed with their dealers the years free insurance offer? All the stuff on VWs website says only available for cars registered before end of September, my dealer said they probably will extend it again, but can't guarantee it.
Seems a bit rubbish to miss out on an offer if we order before Sept but it doesn't get delivered til after the offer and if they don't renew it. Not a deal breaker but be very nice to save a couple hundred quid on insurance.

Apparently it also ended in June, but I got my car in July. I called them anyway and got the free insurance [emoji106]

Anyone planning to take it to the track at all?
I think if I recall we had ours built on the same build week? W/C 27th July?
I'm also expecting it at the dealer in a few weeks! Where about did you order from? I heard last Friday that it goes to Germany before being sorted and sent to the UK.
Sounds like I've been pretty lucky with the wait for mine, as I ordered the beginning of June....seems strange that there's such variances in waiting times.
I will put some photos up when it arrives anyways, I was hoping to get it in time to take to the VW festival this year but I think I might be a little too hopeful now

That's correct, think my status on VW status changed mid week as well, so must of been built early that week. I ordered from Ashford, gave me a great price that I couldn't say no too! Pretty much all the packs on it etc.

Same here, I got a great deal really...I got mine through carwow and would really recommend it. My tracker still says in transit so guesssing it's not in the UK yet

Were you driving into Penarth between 08:30 and 09:00 Friday morning? If not there's another black GTI in Cardiff!

Wasn't me, but I've also seen another black GTI in Asda, Cardiff Bay... Probably the same one.
