Delayed Delivery

I ordered a VW Golf Match 1.6 DSG Bluemotion on October 18 2010 on behalf of my mother-in-law.

I have been waiting and waiting. Today i have been told there is a further delay. Possible but not definite delivery in June. I understand there has been some production delays. What would your advice be? We are looking for a good quality automatic car that is easy to park. Your best alternative?

There has been a software upgrade on DSGs because they weren't working properly. This has held up production.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
