Just ordered a 30 year Special Edition 4Motion with the help of AutoeBid

Been lurking around soaking up the forum knowledge. I've successfully managed today to beat the price increase and get a great deal.

I'll join as a VIP too, the forum has been great in helping me decide. Now just a long 4-6 month wait

Cheers Dude and on my Pure Grey Caddy, I so wished VW would offer this colour in the Cali.

Congrats and

Great spec on 30 edition with most of options included.
What colour did you go for and did you add anything e.g. four motion?

[Ting Tong]

Did you get in before the alleged price rise on 8 May?

Hi, yes just beat the price increase. The sales were a bit pushy to get it all in for 3pm yesterday which apparently was the cut off (?)

I played off the broker with a dealer and managed to get the bike rack and side bars included for free - well a few hundred quid extra.

Here are the additional changes from the 30 years base (huge) spec:

Paint - Metallic - Indium Grey with Reflex Silver Metallic Roof : Indium Grey with Reflex Silver Metallic Roof

Upholstery - Alcantara - Moonrock Grey : Moonrock Grey

Adaptive Cruise Control ACC including Front Assist and City Emergency Braking - Max Speed 99mph

Leather Multi-function Sports Steering Wheel and Gear Knob with Radio and Telephone Controls

Reversing Camera with Front and Rear Parking Sensors

High Beam Assist

Awning - Silver Rail and Housing

I'm currently debating to change the Alloys to anthracite from silver. Exciting times

Black awning looks best on the Grey IMHO, but personal choice.

Just been told the build week is 26 - June. Delivery in July! Super quick.

Tried to add the electric door and safe.... Dealer just said the door is not a great option - any thoughts?

 

[Gary&Heather]

As usual that's down to personal choice I have had electric doors on four off my five vehicles and I have had no problems whatsoever but some people on here report having problems, the only downside I have discovered is that when the door is closing it bleeps which is annoying especially when camping.

 

[Moose]

Love the electric door, great for letting the dogs out and in on the way back for the walk, but the bleeping when closing when you have to get up in the night is annoying always seem louder than it is

 

[YvonneGoodwin]

The electric side door is the only thing we'd change about our Cali which will be one year old at the end of the month. It scratches the rear wheel arch when it closes when parked on a slope! It's been in twice for a fix and paint spray, which is a pain. We forgot to spec the safe, but actually find that the way we use the wardrobe, we'd miss the space. Hope that helps.

 

[BeeBee]

we have only had our van 4 weeks now and the electric door was 'in the package' so wasn't a choice ... got used to it but the bleeping means that on campsite at night we use the front doors... well on our 1st 3 night trip we did !
useful info re the 'rear arch on a slope issue' .... will watch out for that, thanks

 

[tribloke]

Thanks for the replied. VW replied and said as the build date is set I can't make any more changes. So no beeping door for me Never mind.
