***The official my polo arrives thread***

WHAT: 2007 Polo GTI Silver

WHEN: Yesterday.

WHY: Was driving a 05 XR6 and with the cost of fuel and living increasing so much I was spending $95 a week to get to work.

Wanted to get into another turbo and my girlfriend wanted a smaller car so this fit the bill perfectly.

My little pogo is standard for now but I would like to know what mods others have done that haven't voided the factory warranty. Even in standard form I haven't been able to wipe the smile off my face

Congrats!

See this thread for ideas: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=17554

If you search for any of the mods mentioned there will be plenty of opinions on them all

i don't think i could have summed up this forum better myself!

thats a great way to put it.....and so damn true.

"what about this mod guy's?"......."ok group buy, who's in?"......."me me me".....spend spend spend

And I 2nd that cause my credit card sure knows the results

Well if my bank would get it's **** together I would have my car tomorrow.... Dealer has it in just waiting on me now.

sorry for double posting, should I be worried that they are trying to pass a demo as new? it's been registered and everything and this is the first they've called me since I bought it, didn't even speak to me about all the extras like paint protection and smart protection(not that I want it)....

You should get what you signed for in the contract. If it's different then they are breaching the contract.

Stealers are shifty p..cks. When I signed up for mine many moons ago in Feb 06 I agreed on a black one. The next day they called me to tell me it will be an extra months wait but if I wanted silver I could have it on the original 2 months. I said I'd wait for black since its the best and it arrived in 2 months anyway...

Someone must have cancelled their order for a silver one so they tried to palm it off to me by using the threat of an extra months wait.

[Whubbsie]

just worried me because no one including my bank have been communicating anything to me but everything is sorted now.

Will have the cheque tomorrow and my car will check it over and make sure its all good, where do I check compliance/make years?

Going to call VolksPower now hopefully I can get it chipped tomorrow too.

Hi All,
just signed the contract for a brand new GTI. Colour is red and everything is standard. $28,500 drive-away which I thought was ok. I walked in and offered to sign up for 28,500 and the guy said 'umm...ok' and i thought 'damn, should have gone lower'.
Anyway, should be a nice little car, very fun to drive on the test drive i took it on, craps all over my previous cars in terms of handling dynamics. Now I have to try and keep the wallet in the pocket for a while. I am well aquainted with the 'mod-bug', as in past years when owning an SS commodore certain forums similar to this one have kept me wanting more and more and more

Smart buy Marko, looks like there is a few people signing on for the GTIs this month.

Congrats on your purchase, Marko and welcome to the forum. It sounds like you got a good deal for the purchase price.
