The Golf R lease thread

Yup. A month from the build week (20th June).

If I get it 20th July, that's only 4 weeks without a car instead of what I thought would be 5.

A month from build week should be just about right.

I'm hoping to be able to collect mine in the next two weeks.

It only switched status this morning, I'm giving our friend a few hours first... I'm hoping for a max of 7 days...
All my lease paperwork is done though.

Great. He said yesterday that once it reaches stage 40, he'll send my paperwork through. And as I got the Stage 6 this morning, I'm presuming it's reached stage 40 on their system.

I'm hoping mine will reach the dealer by the end of the long weekend. I'm surprised yours managed to get there so quickly! 2 days!

Driving it home in a second. Report back later!

Is that the bog standard white?

Looks nice.

I had the initial choice of red or white. Thought about it for an hour and then the choice became red or nothing

Have fun

Are the rear windows tinted? Is that an option or standard?

They can deliver it (driven) next Wednesday, or I can collect, or I can wait for a trailer the week after.

I've just had the documents through, glad I thought before I left the house this morning and brought a council tax bill with me

Standard tint.

[rufmeister]

Initial impressions very favourable.

Very rapid that's for sure.

Not had a play with anything yet, but the menus are plentiful and race mode is fun.

Which dealer did you use?

I'm also BW21 and asked live chat but they said MY2017 is only BW22 onwards and that they couldn't tell that BW21 cars had MY2017 updates.

Did you give them your order number to check? I did but they said they couldn't tell. Would expect it will either be all BW21 orders or none though.
