Success. I had to pay them extra 90 pounds for cancellation of Skoda and ordering a Golf. It will cost me 330 pm instead of 253 but I had a Golf R 7.5 for 5 months and part from seats and adaptive cruise control everything is better in VW. And waiting time is 12 weeks not 26. 

 

I have confirmed cancellation of my order this morning and ordered a Golf R estate - Turmeric Yellow with the 19" Pretorias (expensive but detest the standard wheels) - adaptive cruise control is standard on the R 

I know it is and that is why Skoda is better because it is a extra option. In my opinion acc is terrible unfortunately you can't switch it off.

Now I understand - also completely agree but I never use cruise control anyway :-)

Would I be right in thinking then that all of the people who have not got confirmed build date or long lead times are the ones who have had them on PCH?

 

I've had mine on PCP and my order was place the last week of September and has been confirmed for build week 6.

I ordered mine on PCH about a month ago, no idea if I have a build date or not, as I told the dealer not to bother calling with updates as I don't need it until near end of April, think I said to give me an update at end of December, but not getting stressed over it as I'm only renting it and will no doubt find something else if it all goes a bit Pete Tong!

Not at all. Mine is a cash buy (won it through BOTB, would not be buying it outright with my own cash) with £4k of extra options I've paid for.   Ordered 11th September, currently unconfirmed build week bloody 18!!

I think if you use the same broker you can use the same fee, if not I can see them loosing a lot of business.

 

My broker is letting me swap to a Golf R using the same fee. I have just signed all the paperwork and should get the car at least a month earlier than I was expecting the vRS.

It is only 0.1 s faster than a golf. Not worth it

S4 or Golf R?  Thoughts?  I know where I’d rather be. 

The estate with all of the options I'd want pushes it well above 500. Plus I already work for Audi so just fancy anything else at this point.

Fair point. Options / estate etc can affect the price big style.

 

I looked a while back at a Superb 280 Estate with pano & a few other options. Over £500pcm too. 

 

At the end of the day (I sound like a football manger!) you generally get what you pay for. That’s why some of the Golf R deals seem so amazing!

I also looked at the Superb but the cost was crazy. To me the little extra cash for the golf made sense for the extra car.

No. Mines a PCH with build week 4. Completely standard manual red estate.

440 litre boot, don't tick any family boxes

Can't believe buying a car is so damned difficult nowadays.

 

After being offered a great deal on a Golf R I confirmed it yesterday only for them to come back and say that the price had gone up by £40 per month

 

This morning I enquired about a Leon Cupra ST 300 - I did jokingly say that I would have been interested in a Cupra ST 300 4Drive if the monthlies were not so crazily high - 10 mins later I got a quote for just such a car at £3 per month less than the VRs 245 and with an extra 2k per annum allowance - £1800 down and £300 per month including metallic and a couple of other options totalling £1200 

 

Needless to say I placed the order

I saw the same deal, only in manual however on the ST300 and for me its an extra 135 a month.

I stayed away from that deal as I think the Leon still uses the 6 speed dsg. I may be wrong.

Was it going to be on PCP? Had you paid an initial deposit and if so, did you get it back?
