Lol. The list was a lot shorter before I sat in the dealers chair. Then I just though that you only live once so what the heck. I suppose I roughly spent the discount the dealer gave me on the list price of the van on the options. I did manage to leave a couple of things off. Wi-Fi comes to mind. I "saved" a lot since I placed the order by keeping an eye on eBay. Got most of the other bits I wanted second hand or at very low prices.

We're in a similar position. Not sure what not to spec and want to endure the correct options. Shan't rush in ...

what discount did you manage to secure? ive just sold my first cali and looking to buy another. I'm definately putting parking sensors on the new van but other than that the only options i want are what i had; awning, tow bar and privacy glass. Hope the new revamped model doesnt come out too soon!

i think we're holding off - prepared to wait to see what happens with the T6 and the Californian derivative. There have been a few bargains on this site 2nd hand for sale - 5500 miles fully loaded SE for £41000 was interesting.

Mine, same as your spec, minus DAB was less than that with 6k on the clock 2.5 yrs old so plenty of time for shakedown and warranty claim

I went for the following on my 180SE :

• Blue tooth (for hands free phone connection)
• Media In (for IPod / Kindle)
• Mud Flaps
• Multi Function steering wheel
• Parking Sensors
• Privacy Glass
• Rain Sensors / auto dimming
• Additional seat (grandchildren)
• tow bar (bike racks and trailers)

Accessories:
• Bumper protector
• VW Front Spoiler
• Monster Mats
• Stainless side rails

Also bought Thule roof bars for my kayak, easy to fit and remove.

ive thought about waiting for the t6 but it may not even launch in the uk as california, like the merc marco polo, summers are ticking by and if the t6 comes out ill sell mine in a couple of years.
