Our day has finally arrived, and we are now have a new member in our VW family.
We ordered the car July 26/99, and got a car that was currently in the pipeline. Car arrived Vancouver, BC Aug 31... BUT it went to a different dealer and was sold from under us without that dealer checking the car against his order sheets Not impressed.
My dealer blocked another car the same day (Aug 31). The car had been waiting in Germany to be shipped. It was on the boat Sept 2, and arrived Halifax Sept 10/99. Sat in Halfax 18 days, and it took 8 days to go across Canada by CN train. The car was on land (Annacis Island, BC) the next day, and arrived my dealer 7 days later via transport truck.
The car is Satin Silver, black interior, cold winter package (heated seats), 5 speed manual. No luxury package. We are getting the factory alloys at dealer cost, and will be taking delivery with the steel wheels/hubcaps (winter set), and 6 cd changer, and 4 mudflaps.
We didn't want the luxury package as we didn't want a sunroof.
Dealer is Guildford Motors in Surrey, BC. Excellent dealership, and they know the diesels well.
So, without further deliberation, here's some digital pix that I took before the car got prepped.
