Through corporate fleet management group recommended by a friend (AFM). He purchased an R32 with paint problems and they handled all the negotiations with VW for replacement car. He was impressed, so I thought I'd give them a try. Wish I'd thought of the benefits of waiting a month to improve chances of better build though.

WRT to price. It'll all be clear once BM finalises base price. I am not holding out much scope for bargaining, given the anticipation the car is generating and the limited Aussie release (200 which will incl 135 and I think 128's). With Brisbane and Melbourne shows in Feb, once the wider public gets a look, I reckon demand will surge. Why wouldn't it? Very special car.

Also, I was only offered Black / Beige / Grey for interior.
