They seemed to indicate that my combination is not available at launch, but haven't gotten back to me with what combinations are available at that point.
Some dealers are already posting their expected orders as inventory. You could use cars.com to figure out the expected colors coming to dealers in the first batch. I was surprised to see my Plantinum Gray/Black combo show up as available inventory on one of the local dealers inventory.For those who have received a date, what color and package did you choose? My dealer is treating my TDI SEL Midnight Blue order as a basic order and not a pre-order, so it may take up to 90 days
It was a few grand more but worth every penny IMO! Beautiful car and rides and handles wonderfully...no regrets!
While you're monitoring these new diesel manufacturers, don't forget to validate which fuel pumps are used.I decided not to get another VW TDI based on the fact that the issues with the HPFP still have not been rectified and VW has not stood up at the plate to take any real action. There are several car manufacturers (Mazda, GM, FORD, etc.) that are bringing diesels to the US over the next year and I will be monitoring those closely along with VW's progress. With my wife as the primary driver of this car, I felt that it is in both of our best interest to buy what we feel is extremely reliable without concern for fuel quality or other mechanical issues/concerns. In the end, she decided she really wanted a nice wagon. We drove the JSW TDI, JSW gasser and the new Acura TSX Sport Wagon. The VW was no match for the Acura so that's what we got her. A loaded Pearl White TSX Wagon with the Technology Package...and talk about an amazing NAV
It sounds like you did not get a passat because there was not a wagon version...you really wanted a wagon afterall.
Fair enough. You indicated buying a loaded TSX SW and sticker prices go as high as $38K. Don't blame you for waiting on TDI's -- especially the first run Amerissat.
Has your dealer given you a delivery date? We ordered TDI SEL on 9/8 and told to expect delivery mid October. We're anxiously awaiting our Sales Rep to tell us a VIN # has been assigned and maybe a build date.
Did you receive delivery or looking for it in a couple days? Exciting!!! We're looking at Mid October. We originally ordered the Opera Red but changed the color to Black with Cornsilk Beige yesterday. Hope that change does not set us back in delivery.
Joining from the B5.5 forum, just picked up an Opera Red with Cornsilk Beige from Chris @ Langhorne VW - it was on their lot. If you want to see what the Opera Red looks I posted a couple of pictures here.
