The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Pfft, even the "lowly" polo 1.2 Turbo has more than enough go and capability to well exceed the limit but since when is that a reason for NOT buying a car?
There are 2 kinds of car people, those that don't give a **** (aka A to B) and people that love them.
Sorry I don't want a Ferrari 458 Italia cos I won't be able to do 200km/h. Pfft whatever , I'd sell my left nut for one, hell why not both. Not like there is room for baby seats anyway.

"Hi, I like high performance vehicles - as long as I have them in my possession otherwise they are ****e"
Dont be a lying to yourself, and don't be a hater!

Don't forget how long it can take to get through customs and dealer delivery etc. If it gets here on 1st November, it'll take 2 or 3 weeks before you can pick it up (customers, transport, dealer delivery etc). So it's more like a month and a half to 3/4

[Prodigy]

All these people get Vin #'s and Vessel details is making the wait unbearable, i hope i get mine soon...

[Darren]

Hey my Golf R is on the same ship...Matter of fact their very similiar in config except for your DSG and I'm 6spd manual.
I'm following the Faust vessel voyage live on the internet. My dealer says mid/end Nov delivery. I'm in Melbourne and getting very excited too! The wait is killing me!

Hey Guys,

Well today I finally did it. I popped the deposit down and ordered my new Golf R from South Yarra VW. Here are the details:

2011 Build Golf R Candy White 3 DR Manual
19" Talladega alloys (Black)
Vienna Leather
Electric Glass Sunroof
RNS510 Nav
Bluetooth
Adaptive Chassis Control
Dynaudio Premium Audio System
MDI

Delivery: Late March 2011

I really can't fault South Yarra VW, they have been amazing, and I would reccomend them to anyone. Those who have been keenly following my price haggling and hunting will know that I negotiated an amazing price for the car (no other dealer would beat it). I'm getting tint done by Sth Yarra VW after delivery for $250 (down from 695!? what a crazy asking price). Now the 6 month wait is on... Bring it!

Thanks to all on VWWatercooled for the advice and the help and also for the Golf R price calculator. It was extremely useful.

Cheers all

-Dan

Well done Dan.. yeah now the long hard wait.. but at least we have company..

Hey I note if you order 19 inch rims you get black housing for your xenons which looks wicked on the candy white

[Corey_R]

Received dealer confirmation that the shipment will arrive on 21/1/11 so should see the car by end of Feb '11.

Can't wait!!

Congrats on your order.
I just wanted to highlight that you received a dealer estimation that the shipment will arive on 21/1/11, and not a confirmation.
