Ive already confirmed with the dealer they have allocation for 2021 - we have an appt Saturday for me to get everything squared away. Was just wondering if anything under MSRP was reasonable. I been lurking this thread and seeing people get solid deals just a month and a half ago

The car market is nuts these days. Have you looked at the VW partners list to see if your employer has some sort of relationship with them? My company was the distributor for one of the partners and that worked.

Here is an older list but it changes frequently as companies (or organizations) drop off. SCCA used to be a partner - it isn't anymore. Here is the link to request your partner certificate.

My local VW dealer stated that they don't know if they can custom order a car until they actually try and place the order for it in their system. It's when the dealer tries to place the order that they know for sure that VW will manufacture it. I will be interested if they can actually order you a car - I am skeptical.

No new 2021 GTI's have been arriving on dealer lots since ~February. The VW Puebla plant has been busy making the new Taos and very soon the redesigned Tiguan. And even Taos production has been halted at least once due to the chip shortage.

With only ~450 new 2021 GTI's left in the US, and only ~3 in Cornflower Blue, MSRP may be the best you can get, before any military/first responder/partner discount. I wouldn't delay if you really want the CFB. Check out cargurus.com and cars.com to find inventory. Sometimes they show a picture of the Dark Iron Blue instead of the Cornflower Blue, so you have to click on the link to verify.

I think they just want to get you in the door, pretty sure the Puebla plant is done making GTIs. Why don’t you just wait? You are not driving anywhere soon. If you are paying msrp plus, get the newer 8, or wait and let the used car price bubble pop and get a nicer car. But now is definitely not the time to buy a car, you are going in at the peak of the market.

Good luck, but do some relaxation exercises before you go.

Please keep us posted either way.

I learned a while back never to go in person to a dealer without having a deal worked out/agreed upon beforehand. Now more than ever, but hey the urge when shopping for a new car is strong with many.

If you find a car that has all that you want, why not get a lot car??

If i find the perfect one maybe, but i can't drive for at least 2 months - makes no sense not to wait if i cant get exactly what I want, the white is my backup color but the cfb is the dream

Given the current market, I suspect that you won't find many (any?) new 2021s in a few months and certainly no CFB ones. There is also a possibility that some dealers will try to mark them up as supply dwindles.
