jamiepaxman Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 2 hours ago, MrBlobby said: It all depends on spec if I am honest you ordered two years ago so I’m assuming you will make a little drink. Different story on the rs3 8y that I’m actually experiencing , got a vorsprung for 58,500 that I ordered a year ago which has now gone into build and I’m struggling to shift it for no more than just a tad over 60k, the car market in general has plummeted big time. Spec wise on the R is performance pack, DCC, black and Akrapovic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_R Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 On 05/09/2023 at 19:09, Bfarre13 said: Hi guys. looking for an opinion. Ordered the mk8 nearly 2 years ago. It has finally been (partially) built, and I was pretty much guaranteed a September delivery. I got an email from the dealer today however saying that as it has extras (HK, DCC, estoril alloys, winter pack, paint) which are on back order, it has been r delayed further until October. Makes me a bit nervous given the really long wait to date and October was guaranteed. Does anyone have experience of this and an idea of how long it take to go from partially built to fully built? cheers @Bfarre13 have you had any update on this? I’m in the same boat at the moment, with literally no end in sight to this saga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-c Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Evening all. Ordered standard Golf R through Motorfinity back in Mar 22 (seems like an age ago) but cancelled it in Mar 23 and ordered an R 20 years instead, again through Motorfinity with a decent discount. Lapiz blue, rear camera and HK sound system are the only extras I’ve ordered. Delivery to me now confirmed for 16 Nov, so next Thursday. Really looking forward to collection now. Car was stuck for about 3 weeks in German waiting for ship allocation and then stuck again for just over 3 weeks in the UK port due to delays. Hopefully everyone else still waiting for their cars have some good news soon.👍🏻 AHG, Dannybear83, MrBlobby and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCC Performance Pack Panoramic sunroof Winter pack Rear view camera Black paint (all paint colours suck IMO) Sales advised expected delivery date June 2023 (and the rest), but no communication on the current inability to order the Performance pack. Just got a message from the dealer, car is at the Port of Germany, should probably get it before Christmas. 18 months from order to delivery, or thereabouts (unless the ship is set on fire again).

Probably because of the extras I’ve ordered, Pan roof, Akra etc. My son has managed to get a cancelled order R20 from Motorfinity and that will be delivered next week. 2 weeks wait in total. Alright for some! Davey-c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
