Leadtime on a special order

[GTi..FTW!]

Hey guys. Finally put a down payment for my GTi. Got a full option model (CSG), got the standard seats (like the clark pattern), driver profile selection, DCC, didn't opt for dynaudio and didn't get the nav pro cos I expected high running costs on both the options.

Just wanted to know if anyone has experience with a special order and how many months it took to arrive.

High running costs on the Dynaudio, why do you say that? (or do you mean high running costs on both the sat nav options?)

Thinking of speccing that on mine so interested

Hey Gary. The dynaudio system would have increased the price of the car, which would mean higher insurance premiums. Also, I'm not sure how expensive fixes to the dynaudio system would be as opposed to the normal system. If you can afford it though, then definitely go for it. Don't wanna be caught in a shouldawouldacoulda situation.

I'm coming from a car where the car itself is the entertainment, and the audio system is pretty much useless, so I am looking forward to having a quality sound system to make my commute to work easier



Your thoughts are valid with regards to the costs but hopefully shouldn't affect me too much

DON'T FORGET THE FOLDING MIRRORS!! It's not on mine although I have the top of the range model from Ali & Sons, I would add lane assist package as well.

I wanted also to special order my car but didn't but the dealer told me about 4 months!!

So VW has that option as standard even on the lowest spec now. I tried to up it by asking them if I could get dipping mirrors too. But couldn't. Plus, don't see the need for it when i get the reverse cam and the park pilot option.

I'm not sure about the details of lane assist but I understand it forces you to indicate everytime you change your lane and can be annoying sometimes.

They showroom said 4 - 5 months too but another one said possibly 3 months, so the long awaited suspense continues.... and they don't even have a car build tracker, unless there's a universal tracker out there that I'm not aware of.
