Just to clarify that I have no financial interest in this. I've actually backed out of buying one myself and posted the contact details (and other useful details) out of kindness and as I was (and still am) getting so many emails I didn't really have time to keep replying to them all.

If this is in any way against the rules feel free to move the posts but please don't ban me as I'm a long term member who loves Pistonheads.

Hi Dan,

I have no problem with that at all. What I do have an issue with is salesman touting for business or people getting something from salesmen for pointing people in their direction.

IMHO that is taking the mick.

Understood. I must confess I didn't consult the rules before posting details but thought your view might be the case I guess as that his how I thought it ought to be.

Yes, have you?
No - thinking about it but we're planning on moving so unsure what to do - I thought you had ordered, but as you were talking to dealers thought maybe not.

Dealer emailed/called me yesterday advising vwfs are now offering pch, quoted me and I've switched over to wvfs from arval. £2 a month cheaper lol. 3k miles more and no 14 day cooling off waiting period. Car is built, expected wc 17.11.14 - very happy and very excited!!

I'm on my third! VWFS cancelled the first order, I then ordered one of the higher priced interim deals (~ 7.5K - 5000 MPA - Base Spec) then these latest deals came along, so cancelled the 2nd order and ordered a 3rd... Its been a right merry go round I know that! Hopefully I won't need a mortgage anytime soon lol

Shame. A specific thread with people looking for deals. People out there with deals to offer. Seems sensible and grown-up to put them together.

Oh hang on. Is someone missing out on some advertising revenue?

I ordered one of the original dodgy lease deals through Vehicle Savers that got cancelled - I was offered an alternative non-VWFS financed lease but no way was I spending another £1k over the term for the same car - then I was approached through this forum about going on Radio4 You and Yours as they were investigating these deals - VWFS then contacted me as I'd been on the radio and were very patronising about my ability to select "the correct finance package" for myself. i.e. not pay £3k more for a PCP that benefited no one but the shiny VW dealerships. By then with a baby about to pop-out I'd had enough and bought a secondhand E92 325i series coupé to tide me over.

I've still been following the thread as deep down I really want a shiny new Golf R for peanuts, but a couple of things are holding me back.

If it happened on my forum, it'd get removed. It's cheeky and lazy of the seller to allow it and use a member of the site to push the deal in a discreet way (although it was easy to spot).

This site costs money, damn straight they're going to get pissy if someone benifits from their hard work.

(Although I am agreeing with PH here, I hate their attitude to adverts)

Them's the rules and always have been. This thread is for people to comment on the deal they've got not for salesman to come selling.

Some guy just rang me from a car finance place.

Got a black R in stock with Leather, Nav and panoramic roof.

£339 a month plus VAT and 6 months down plus vat which is 2.4k.

Not bad at all and good for those who don't want to wait.

I will pass on details to all who are interested

My cars arrived at the dealers.

Signed the revised finance docs (costing £8.60 per month extra over my original business deal) and now just waiting for when they can get car trailered upto me.

Not as cheap as some of the latest deals but too much effort and time to cancel and re order, especially since wait times are now 7 months.

Not at all. I enquired online to a contract hire place a few days ago and they have only got back to me today....I googled the number and its for this company http://www.selectvehiclelease.co.uk/about-us I have ordered one now anyway (Bradford VW) but happy to share information that I have researched no problem.

Im not bothered if you don't use my research and I certainly do not want discount on parts at a VW store as I have no interest in them, just the deal for them is hard to resist

Happy hunting smile
