The official I have ordered/received my new Scirocco thread

[bigbadrat]

Anyone done an order for one of these bad boys recently? I've been told that the next shipment is April2013...that's. long ways away...

[Mac135]

Waiting for the car takes both longer than you think and less than you imagine it might. Plenty of us on here had a similar wait this time last year (my car was delivered on April 28th).

If you can't find what you want from stock then there's only one choice......do the time. You'll find jan to march will fly by but April wil drag on and on

[bigbadrat]

guess i'll just have to wait it out...
All stock available were green/silver no options..
ah well...lets hope it does fly by.

[JohnA]

i wasnt prepared to wait, i guess i was just lucky they had one on the boat in the specs i wanted...
otherwise would have looked at something else.

I dont like waiting, 1 month is ok, but not 4+

[kazmeyers]

Had to wait 6-months as well. Friend had to wait 10 months for Golf R that he picked up a month ago.

go and talk to nathan at bill buckle in brookvale (he's a mate of mine. tell him richard sent you).

I know they have a couple in stock. it might be tough if you want a 6mt version though, they do not order so many of those as most buyers go DSG these days.

I just bought one. went into chatswood classic cars on impulse and had a look and they had a brand new indium/DSG/dyn/navi combo in stock from a cancelled order. made a deal and bought it.

you should also be able to get a better deal on a car in stock vs ordering. there is no real incentive for them to discount a car that doesn't exist yet. but something sitting in the showroom they will deal. especially since it's near EOY (means all these 2012 build cars are about to turn 1 year old).

a week ago at brookvale they definitely had an indium with DSG and navi.

[Beer Baron]

guess I should make a post here too.

I've received my scirocco R. I didn't order but (as above) bought one off the floor that was a cancelled order. got a pretty good deal and it has the audio and navi (no pani roof but didn't particularly want one either).

they are a great little car. I've had some fast cars and the 'rocco is not super powerful but still a properly quick street car. great fun to drive and comes with all the nice options (electric seat adjustment would be nice though).

so if you see my indium grey driving along feel free to give a wave or flash or whatever scirocco owners do.

Barloworld 5dock gave me a pretty sweet deal (though I had a friend with me doing more of the bargaining than I did) brought it down to a pretty good deal for a car still in line to be made. I guess that's what I have to pay to get a good car cheap..4-5months wait..back to my civic (ugh)..

[alanzidane]

Got mine about 3 weeks ago. I'll take some good shot later and post it here.

[Mac135]

Nice looking car....and no waiting. That has to be a win.

[bigbadrat]

Anyone here owns the rising blue roc around maroubra/ kingsford area? See you around..I think you're the only roc around here!

+1 !

thanks mac135. it's basically a slightly higher, slower version of yours! I was actually considering a 135i instead of the 'rocco. but in the end I liked the 'rocco more.

I'm surprised the indium grey is not more popular. I guess it takes all types.

[Beer Baron]

+1 !

thanks JohnA and BLAKROC.

yeah I am a sucker for dark grey (gun metal grey). I have owned about 4 R32 GTRs in gun metal grey (also had white, black and silver though) had an R34 GTR in the closest colour to gun metal grey (dark silver) and when I got my R35 GTR I ordered it in what they called 'dark metal grey' (more politically correct than gun metal grey... but the same colour). also had a subaru liberty in that colour. I like black too but GMG does does it for me on most cars.
