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

Actually yeah I did read that as well somewhere here.
Ferntree Gully :S They were the cheapest. I don't live far from Epping so I was hoping I could get it from there. I'll probably service it at Camberwell though cause a mate is service manager there. Are you tinting your front windows? And if so, are you going to put clear on the back as they're already smoky? Not sure whether to bother or not.

Really good question, have never had to deal with that problem, maybe we can get some tips from other Golf R owners or GTI performance who would have the same problem

I'm looking at picking up the same model. Can you tell me if it comes with the leather seats (same as the normal MY16 Highline)?

Would be keen on some pics too =)

Managed to snap a shot today.

Ordered a Lapiz blue Wolfsburg R hatch with sunroof. $61.5k. Car is here so I'm guessing I'm waiting for the launch event like everyone else.

[gh172]

Congratulations, at least the car will be ready to go straight after the launch. That's awesome!

I had clear UV put on the rear windows of my GTI PP

Apparently it's hard to match the tint of the back with the front. Do you notice a big difference in your car?

[ALCo4301]

No, Rob from Hunters Hill Window Tinting did a fantastic job including the 1/4 windows.

Picked up MY16 golf Comfortline today. Great drive! The sat Nat still has had TMC.

[Tonyvh]

Sorry typo error. The Sat Nat still hasn't had TMC activated.

Has anyone had any more information on the delivery of the Wolfsburg Edition cars yet? The purported 21st September delivery doesn't seem promising considering it's Thursday and still no word.

Come on VWA, all this walking is making me loose my precious beer belly.

what price I should be looking at for the GTI my16 in manual?

Yep - delivery on a whole bunch of them is next week. Have you not been given a delivery date?

What do you mean exactly by "still no word"? No word of what exactly?

The only person who has rung me is the "delivery coordinator" who only tried pushing the whole paint protection and tint. When asked about delivery times, I was given the generic "about 3-4 weeks from now". This happened yesterday and I highly doubt she has a clue.

My car was unloaded in Brisbane on the 28th of July, and was moved out of the docks on 31st of July. I'm assuming I'm up for first shipment. Trying to call the dealer but no answer. I'm time poor so this is frustrating.

Sounds dubious. If your vehicle has been allocated (ie. they can supply you with a VIN), then they can supply you with at least an estimated, but specific delivery date.

I would start by asking for the VIN for your car. If they can't give it to you, I would suggest that they haven't got a car allocated to you (this is a problem!). If they do give you the VIN, then suggest if this car is allocated to you and is in the country, they should be able to supply a solid delivery date as well.

That is an unusual situation for them to have accepted the order, but not given you a specific (albeit estimated) delivery date.

It's a mandatory requirement (in the leasing world at least, though they're buying the same cars that you are!) that when a dealer accepts an order the estimated delivery date must be confirmed as well. Put some more pressure on them - but still be as courteous as possible though.

I've had the same issue with my Wolfsburg, they don't have the official release date from VW that they can give the cars out from so they can only say "around x date". Having said that mine is still on the boat so I won't be looking at getting it until late next month. For reference I have a VIN number assigned, but no delivery date written on my order form.
