You'll have to tell, and show us, all about the 'Coast' as it's not available in the UK.

Nice spec. I think I would prefer coast to ocean if it had been available in U.K.

Sounds great.
Does the coast come with a heater fitted ?

 

[Anthony Murphy]

Standard Equipment states second heater in passenger compartment in Coast , same in Ocean spec.

Hey Anto!

You might want to double-check. I'm up in Belfast, where the Coast isn't available so I ended up buying a Beach. However, when I spec'd a Coast, and looked at registering it up here.... I was told the Coast didn't come with the overnight heater as standard, and it needed to be added, like I had to add to my Beach.

I also met a guy in a new T6 Coast, a few weeks back in Rostrevor.... And he was gutted his Coast didn't come with the heater, and he was costing a retro fit.

All the best with your purchase, and will have to keep an eye out for you in future.

no heater in coast from what I know

 

[Anthony Murphy]

When it arrives in Oct. i will be giving it a good going over as per spec sheet, because standard equipment states protective side mouldings ???? .If you look at the Irish VW site there most up todate brochure is MAY 2011 YES 2011 T5..

 

[Jonathan Duke]

The "second heater in passenger compartment" which is indeed standard spec, is just a second fan heater. Not the overnight/parking heater, which is referred to as a programable parking heater or overnight heater.

If that's your expectation Anthony, then all good.... However, if you are expecting the parking/overnight heater, which is optional on the Beach, but included on a UK spec Ocean, then it's not included as standard in the Irish Coast.

You might want to add this to your order, as it's a very sought after extra, and will help re-sale. It's also invaluable, if you plan to camp in your new van all year around IMO.

Good luck, the wait is deadly... but very much worth it.

around 10% cheaper in the UK at the current exchange rate

I have a Coast delivered in March 2017.
The parking/overnight heater was an option and costed me exactly 1726,67 €. (in Belgium)

We had to use the heater in our Beach last week in The Vendee in France, freezing during the night.

Hi Anthony, well done sounds like a great vehicle.
We are also in Ireland and have an Ocean which has the overnight heater, to be honest we find it amazing and use it frequently (including this weekend!), our favourite time to camp in Ireland is spring time, Donegal being spectacular as I am sure you know, so its either bring a heater or have the built in heating, I must say though we have used a mini oil heater in the past which did work but not as convenient and always there, each to their own and I am sure you will have great adventures ahead.

I am getting 4.3k Discount, but i have been told by the Dealer i have to Reg.it as a 172 because VW Ireland had helped them with the Discount, and VW Ireland want it as a 172 Reg. I was hoping to Reg. as a 181 .What do you think of this.

 

[Jonathan Duke]

Sounds like it's a dealer demo order you're getting.... Due to the additional discount, and reg requirement as 172, which would indicate, it's from their 172 dealer allocation.... In the UK, this would get you a 15% discount.... Some other posts/threads on this already.

Your shorter than average lead-time, is also an indicator. I would push for closer to 15% discount.... As per what would be UK expectation. UK factory order is normally discount of 7-8% pre-VAT.

Good luck!
