If that's the case, then all good

Have you decided on the PP yet?

[Rhymes]

Hi everyone,
I have ordered a 90tsi mid December and the ship arrived in Melbourne on 4th Jan. When I paid my deposit, the dealer promised that my car will arrive between 15-20 Jan. I still haven't heard any updates from my dealer yet. Just wondering how long it'll take for the car to be delivered?

[MrGadget]

if rumours are ture, an updated sat nav would be great as I've read all the terrible reviews about the current one throughout this forum...Maybe not as good for me, as my car has been ordered and is already on the way so it will still have the current version

If that's the case, then all good

Is this question for me? If so, I'm pretty much sold on it. Haven't actually driven it yet but I do drive a MKV GTI.

Getting quotes at the moment, will be on novated lease. Not sure if there is a pricing thread on here but was quoted $49K for tornado red with no options. Doesn't seem that great considering there's no GST on novated lease?

I would have thought $48k is achievable, if there are 2014 plated stock that they need to clear - are you eligible for any corporate discount
With novated leases, the finance amount you pay is calculated on the GST exclusive cost of the car. You still have to pay GST on the purchase of the car - which you do when you make the balloon payment, the GST will be calculated on the residual amount.
Running costs of the car is where you benefit by not incurring GST

Hey Everyone, picked up my girlfriends new Black 90TSi with no options yesterday. Such a great car compared to a few others we test drove such as the Yaris and Mazda 3! It drives so much smoother and built a lot better I thought! More importantly she loves it!

Through my employer I was able to get a Novated lease on GTI PP with Leather & DA for $48K due in March 2015.

The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

Hi all,

Long time reader, first time posting here.

Just got back from the dealer after putting deposit down for DSG Lapiz blue R fully optioned. Pretty excited (except having to wait til May for delivery, though timing works out as I'm transitioning from a company car around then).

While I was being shown the vehicle details, the salesman went through the MY15.5 changes that will be applicable to my order.

I didn't have a long time to read into significant detail, though from what I remember:

GTI PP - sunroof option available.
Golf R - Leatherette insert in front doors, replacing fabric/trimming. Could perhaps be for all cars optioned with leather.

Driver assistance pack (all Golfs) now $1200. Includes blind spot indicators on wing mirrors + rear parking advisory system. (When reversing out of nose forward car park. The system recognises vehicles moving behind car - additional to the already existent proximity system)

There was also a section on a 'luxury pack' for highline Golfs $4,990. Which included: sunroof, leather and bixenon headlights. Not sure if it included GTI??

From memory this was from vehicles made from 3/2015??

Please don't quote me on this specifically. Though I can confirm the GTI PP sunroof and DAP blind spot addition.

No mention of sound/navigation changes

I had a quick look through the threads and couldn't see any MY15.5 changes details. Apologies if this has already been covered. Just caught up in the excitement of new car (in a few months)

I'm kind if hoping the sat nav will be a software update that will be applied to existing owners vehicles. I want to buy soon and not wait for a march build + 2 or so months to get the car. I would be very pissed if the discovery pro suddenly was put into MY15.5 vehicles.

I wouldn't have minded a sunroof though.

Well done SkimR and welcome, do you mind sharing hat you paid and if it has any kind of discounts.

Also thanks for the heads up on the 15.5 updates

Get one with the sunroof only thing I would have liked is that the sunroof could be completely closed off when not in use.
It is kind of like a sun shade that closes the roof, so on really hot days, I would imagine it would still be hot, but I'll wait and see

Paid $61k including 3 complimentary services.

Corporate plus discount + a little more haggling
