Golf R Estate
« on: March 05, 2015, 04:40:44 pm »
Anyone seen a release date yet?

Or seen any lease deals?

Was looking at getting an S4 avant but spending the money I had saved on new house so might look at a 2 yr lease for one of these instead and if they are great will then buy a used one when lease is up and mod the fook out of it  :evilgrin:

I have been waiting on order books opening since it was announced, getting a bit bored of waiting now.
VW just keep saying 'spring'.

I am just going to buy one and mod it anyway  :innocent:

yeah am not sure could stomach the depreciation on one from new, but i suppose if they offered say 10% off list and decent finance could be tempted - keep in touch by PM chap please  :drinking:

My next car will be a five year one for me, judging how I specced an R hatchback, it won't be cheap for sure.

Wondering if VW will put some good deals up to get orders in, would be good. It isn't going to fit everyones requirements so I think they'll have some sweeteners.

I think it was shown at Geneva Motor Show yesterday so imagine order books will open sometime in the near future. I am waiting to have a look at the GTD Wagon which you can already configure on VW.de.

Time is dragging though, money burning a hole in my pocket and a crappy mk4 in the interim.

Even the Leon ST that was announced afterwards os going to be available sooner

I've just spoken to my VW man and he said the order books open at the end of March.
I've just told him to order one for demo with DSG, Dyna-Audio, winter pack and rear view camera!
Then after 3 months I can snap it up cheap.  :rolleye:

I saw it at Wolfsburg in the VW Pavillion on Thursday. Very impressive in the flesh.

I'll just lurk in the background and wait for the flood of leased Golf R's to hit the classifieds and drive prices down. Looks like a damn good used hot hatch when the price drops a bit. Plus it gives me long enough to enjoy a modified mk5 GTI that I dreamed off since 16 years old.

it's the usual VW shambles when it comes to new models/info!

The estate price list PDF brochure shows the R and GTD with the R being DSG only...

Yeh it is typical. The whole R estate build up has been poor.

I never thought it came in manual, should hope not with the pricing as it is
