What deal did you get?

[Mac135]

Been there with the Tornado Red GTI too. Then the black 135i, then things fade to grey with the R coming in July.

Choosing a colour was hard.

Quickly eliminated were black (not two black cars in a row) and green (I'm too old). Reflex was out only because we have a RS Tiguan 147. I think the white looks stunning but in the end I kind of dismissed it - not sure why everytime I see one on the formum I think why didn't I do that?

Rising Blue was my firm favourite for a long time. Then I saw the Indium in the flesh, so to speak and made a quick decision on the basis of that car. Still occasionally think about the blue or the white.

If nothing else my Indium it won't be common.

Indium looks really nice in pics, you've made a good call.

My other car is black too and ruled it out for that reason and high propensity for getting scratched. Funny, I actually ordered the blue to start then changed to silver and then almost changed to white... I kept seeing articles and pics in white and was the same as you, why not white?? I really liked the golf r in silver so that did it. In the end I'd be happy with any colour but green (also a bit too old, too conservative)

Maybe white or indium for the next gen in 4 or 5 years time....

Snap.

You get to think about such things while waiting.

I picked up my Indium Grey R on Tuesday. I must say, the grey looks better in real life. Pictures don't do it justice. I'm very happy with the color.

Will post some pictures if I can work out how too.

+1 for the looks better in real life pics don't do it justice.

Yes please - for some good pics. This is the best I can find locally at the moment. [URL="http://www.themotorreport.com.au/53401/vw-scirocco-r-dsg-first-drive-review"] At least I think it is the Indium with some added blue from reflecting the sky?

Most of the UK Indium shots are of the GT version not the R.

Just put a deposit down on a Rising Blue DSG with nav, 54200 on road. It's at IntTransport now, so it's due maybe April/May. It wasn't easy... The first dealers offered no discount at all, and had to ring a few interstate before a local guy beat them all

Sounds like a good deal, particularly for a local dealer. I tried local but they would not budge and ended up getting my deal from Sydney and saving 3k. Mine is 54,100 on road in Viper Green with DSG and included gps tracker, tint, fabric and paint protection. I have everything crossed for delivery sometime this week, next week at the absolute latest.

Tell me about it. The first dealer wouldn't offer anything, not even $1! Called two places in Sydney who were more than happy to discount, and in the end the only other local guy down here beat the best Sydney price.

Looks like mine will be trucked down from Sydney on Thursday this week for rego at Dikson where I will meet them to do the swap - MY08 WRX for the rocco, my first ever dub.
So how come you have to wait until April/May? Everyone is telling me the next shipment won't be here until August/September.

[Miguul]

Wonder how many roccos are actually on the road, I have yet to see another anywhere outside dealerships..

I hope that is not the case. My car is supposed to be on a ship that arrives here on June 30th at this stage expecting delivery around July 15. Still need to get a build date yet though.

So far the only cars I've seen have been dealer cars.

VW are reported to have brought in an initial batch of 400 between Dec 2011 and this month to ensure there were adequate stocks at launch.

The dealer was able to find one already built to my spec, in the Int Transport stage (so basically, ready to get one the boat). They just had to arrange with another Dealer to swap with another car they were having delivered.

It would have been at least August/September if that car wasn't available.

I took the one of the dealer's demonstrators I got mine for 53k excluding trade in flat in rising blue with DSG. Wasnt too bad as they gave me about 2k more on my tradein then anyone else would at with the other car's I was looking at.
