What am I missing out on? I may have a chance of a car that is already with a dealer. Brand new, and here already.
So what are the new additions Im missing? Bluemotion? Anything else?
If I can get a showroom car instead of waiting on my order??

not a lot to be honest, as you said bluemotion stuff is the only bit you will not have
2011 Rising Blue 170GT TDI DSG (its on my drive!)
2010 Candy White Roc Now Gone
2008 Meteor Grey TT TDI
2005 Deep Blue Golf GT TDI
The Cars before do not matter!

Cool. Looks like I'll be picking up my Scirocco in just over a fortnight then.

Re: If I can get a showroom car instead of waiting on my ord
I would think carefully about buying a showroom car, as it depends on what is a definite must have and what is not.
It was an option that I nearly went for with one dealer, but I couldnt justify going for a 140 TDI in Candy White without leather, when I really wanted a 170TDI in RB with leather. Basically, all the things I wanted, the car didnt have, and as tempting as it was to have a Roc the following week, I passesd on it and did the 6 month wait for delivery instead. Besides which, the cheapskate dealer wasnt willing to do any deal at all, even though I had just been for a test drive in it - and I am sure I wasnt first to either. He wanted the RRP for it! Told him to forget it, and ordered one elsewhere.

Re: If I can get a showroom car instead of waiting on my ord
Mine was a showroom car in white, GT pack, with black leather, folding mirrors, parking sensors and a pano roof. Had I been doing the spec myself I might have had the bigger wheels, and would probably have had DynAudio instead of the roof, but decided that that was a very small sacrifice to make given that I could pick it up immediatley...oh, and I might have had truffle leather. All in all I'm glad that I did what I did. Not quite so glad that some ******** drove into it last week and dented the offside rear arch, took a chip out of the alloy and then just drove off. And was probably one of my neighbours.

If it has what you want go for it and make sure they give you a full tank of gas. Always ask that one just before you sign and don't take no for an answer.
Mine was a spare demo which hadn't been driven. Still had the various bits left on it from transit. It had everything I wanted and Bi-xenon's which I didn't really want but glad now that it has them.
Oh, they also forgot to charge me for the leather seats so I stopped complaining about the full charge for the winter pack when I realised. (Winter pack with leather seats is ~£100 cheaper from memory).

Hoping this one turns up with a few extra bits and bobs on it. THe one I was after didn't have agreat deal on it anyway, so it's been pretty easy to pick up I guess. All I really wanted was Leather..
