    01-09-2012 01:34 PM #13
    I got a text from my dealer this morning telling me that my car's status has updated and the car is now on a truck. So I stopped by the dealership at lunch and met the salesman for the first time (all of our correspondence thus far has been via text/phone/e-mail).

    The car should be here Wednesday! And to make things ever better, I'm getting 1.9% financing assuming the credit application comes back good (not going to be a problem, obviously). Pretty excited!

    I'm kinda hoping my loaded 4 door comes with the Pirelli's. I've been a fan of that tire for awhile. I could always change them but the Pirelli's hold up well and perform good for what they are.

    The Dunlops really seem to be pretty good aside from that scary bubbling thing that people have mentioned.. but as far as the ride, grip and sound, they're good.

    I've been traveling a bit (to pay for my R) and lost track. BMP is the first pic I've seen with plates. All others seem to be pics at the dealer.
    Are people taking delivery?
    I ask because of the hearing paperwork was delayed in many cases last week.
    Mine's due any day now, a bit surprised the dealer doesn't know better but they've been great.

    Yes, I'd say about a dozen of us have actually taken delivery. I got mine yesterday, and it's sitting in my driveway now

    Good for you.
    I began the year with an email "No Stickers" when the vehicle gets prepped.
    I warned them if they go on, they will take them off.

    I took delivery of a CW 2door + Nav on the 12th. It has been sitting in my garage under a car cover ever since. Of course we get our first real snow the week the R arrives. I will try to get pix later.

    Got my loaded 4 door CSG yesterday. Everything went as planned. No dealer horror stories. They say they got 10 walk ins after they put it in front of the store on Friday.

    To anyone who took delivery already, Did any "free" gifts come with your cars? I don't know about the MKV but the MKIV came with a pen and keychain.

    I have a rising blue VW travel coffee mug and a real nice leather R keychain. Both gifts, neither from the dealer, neither free.
