Firstly, hello to everyone on the forum from here in Australia.
My purchase seems to be a rarity after reading everbodys posts on here. I walked into the VW dealership on the Gold Coast and drove away with the Demo one. Paid just under 40K for it and got the manual gearbox and sunroof.
Anyway, back to topic. I was speaking to the sales manager at a local dealership up here last weekend, and he hinted that the backlog of orders will soon be improved as there are larger numbers being allocated for us (the aussie market).
What was more interesting, was that he mentioned that at the end of the year, there is a good chance of the 3-door GTI becoming available here as well as the 5-door model.
Lets hope that if these are made available, the delivery times will not be as long as the current ones.
