Yes, luxuries do come at a price :mrgreen:

Anyone now how much as a matter of interest??

 

[Hovis]

Goes from £250 to the£450 mark

 

[Stu]

Ouch. That is a kick in the stones.

Goes from £250 to the£450 mark

The road tax is the same for all Cali's (£215) as they are deemed to be camper vans at birth and not a converted van.....they are in the PLG class for taxation

Really? Parkers were saying they vary based on CO2 as other cars do but I don't own one do just going off that. Great news if they are all £215

we're picking up our new van this afternoon - we're about to spontaniously combust with excitement - and noted reference to "check list"? I this a standard document or something useful that someone has put togther? Anyone know where we can get a copy?

Hi Phil & Sylv,

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am already enjoying ours.

The checklist can be found in the download section, link above.

I made the same mistake! DSG (which I didn't want anyway) plus the 4Motion (essential for us) tipped it to the top tax bracket on CO2 emissions BUT it turns out it's £215 whatever. So I was avoiding DSG even more (nothing against it, just not keen on dual clutch semi autos).

For a post a few above, pretty certain you CAN get a Berghaus with DSG!

No berghaus with DSG ...unless the very first had them ...

Thanks Stu - it worked a treat - although the dealer did blanch a bit when he saw it!!

And....


....how is the new Cali?!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Stu]

Got any pics??

What's the spec?

Pleased with it??

When I asked for the emergency roof securing straps the dealer looked at me like I was stupid. Ditto the nylon strap that supports the table from the rear headrest. They were all in there though.

 

[choplee]

where all the straps and stuff in a kit stored somewhere then stu ..???

 

[Stu]

The straps were in the cutlery tray Lee. As was the Euro power lead.

The awning handle in the pull out draw under the bench.

Same in ours too.

Yep - exactly the same experience - all in the cutlery tray - and dealer said " I wondered what they were for"!! Absolutely delighted with the van - Toffee Brown - much better than it sounds!!! Pretty regular spec for a pre-registered 180. Bike rack, parking sensors - cruise control to be retro-fitted (saw all the chat about this topic recently - being fitted by an auto-electrics specialist in Milton Keynes, appointed by the dealer). Just looks great. Off to France tomorow - so loads of reading of manuals to get through.

 

[Stu]

Is that RicheterSport?

If so they are actually owned by Wayside Audi.

 

[philcod]

Richeter - yes thats them Stu- mixed exprience of Wayside - but recently, sorting outa warranty issue on our Golf, they were good.

Sounds lovely! I think Toffee brown looks great on a Cali. Very classy. Get some pics up when you can!

We went pre-reg'd too - saved a lot of money.

Enjoy!!

the toffee is a nice colour on a window van i agree ,shame i think they have stopped it ...

But You can't beat a very classy ,but not to showy grey
