Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

      Do you get a cut of the sale price if you find a buyer?

        Nope. Just thinking on it. Makes an interesting comparison Alex. Pinnacle BMW from a decade ago or new Octavia RS. FWD vs RWD, turbo vs NA, Manual vs SMG, wagon vs coupe. Nothing alike yet both are so very appealing to me.

          Does make an interesting comparison. Admittedly I'd love a M3, but amongst other reasons (insurance on one of those for a 23yo in Sydney anyone?) it isn't a feasible option.

          Admittedly if I had another car to park at uni, Yacht Club carpark and carry a bike (fortunate that I leave the car in the garage and walk to public transport), and the money to run one, I'd seriously consider it. Alas, I don't.

            We ordered an RS wagon, Candy White, manual with tech and black pack mid april. We wewre told a couple of weeks ago that it wouldn't be getting built until April with delivery possibly July.
            We looked around again and my wife was interested in a Yeti so she took one for a test drive. Then she went for a drive in an RS.
            We now own a silver RS wagon with the DSG and no tech pack.

              Wait... Five months into the order they told you it would be another seven months before it is built?

                Probably had another buyer that was willing to pay more..... So make up a story about lead time, buyer cancels, sell already ordered car for more, to a buyer that thinks his dealer is 'special' for getting an order that's loaded quick.....

                  Haven't been keeping up with VWA for a while (sorry guys!) but I got a similar call. Car ordered March, expected Aug, delayed to Oct build Nov delivery and now Dec build Feb delivery. Since I've been driving around in an 2002 Commodore with dead AC i really couldn't wait through the summer and as such I bought this...



                  2012, so it has sat-nav and BT standard along with the nicer gloss diamond trim. It feels like enough of a step up from the Polo and saved quite a bit of money in the process.

                    I was in a similar situation (having to wait for the new Octavia Ambition Plus) ended up buying a Superb Elegance with 8k on the clock. Saved a good amount as well.

                        Mar - Feb is a stupid long build/delivery time. Congrats on the car, I loved my mk2 rs. They are fantastic cars.

                            LOLing at the number of people jumping into a used Skoda because of excessive new car wait times. imagine all the mods you can pay for with the $10k-$15k saved....

                                Personally if I was sick of waiting for the exact spec and/or needed a car sooner, I'd get the dealer to source a suitable car from stock already in the country/on the boat.

                                The other option is to get a lower spec car and have the dealer add the options when they are available (if it's things like reverse cameras etc).
