Re: Best time to buy used ID.3, considering facelift is incoming

Looking at the price being charged for the facelift, which is quite a lot more than most people paid for the pre-facelift, there is probably too much of a price gap to significantly effect residuals of the pre facelift version.

Re: Chargers at camping sites

I wonder if they could replace all the petrol stations at campsites with EV charging stations? Tongue in cheek of course, but if you are at a campsite, what's wrong with a 3 pin plug? Arguably, because there is a standard electrical supply there already, as it stands, it already more convenient than...

Re: Baby ID.3 on its way - awww, bless.

I don't understand why it might be called a Golf. Surely the ID3 itself is a Golf replacement with every dimension being so similar to the Golf? Shouldn't it be an ePolo or ID2? The logic I've seen is that this will be a car smaller than a Golf on the outside but with the same interior space, where...

Re: Used EV Prices

We paid a little over £30k for ours including our part ex just over a year ago. It was always with the mind that the value might drop significantly but we bought with the intention to keep it a long time. Even despite the recent drops, the cheapest equivalent car currently on Autotrader is £28k and...

Re: Used EV Prices

The weird thing about ID3 prices is the very small gap between a 2020 car and a 2023 car. Its relatively tiny. So one of them is wrong. Either the 2020 car is too expensive or the 2023 car is too cheap. If you look at the prices of a VW Golf, they are still very expensive in all but the smallest eng...

Selling ID3 through Motorway, anyone?

Any thoughts from anyone familiar with Motorway? Long story short: Ordered ID3 Family pro performance with upgraded alloys in Oct 2021 and only getting delivered now. Not sure if I want it now though, especially with a pending facelift The sales lady said VW wouldn't want it when I was chatting to h...

Re: Delivery time

I am in the same boat ordered a Tour Pro S 1/11/21 and maybe will get it 04/22. If I had a choice now, I would probably go for the MG4. But the deal is too good to loose, waiting for the dealer to buy it back. I understand this does happen What do you mean waiting for the dealer to buy it back. Wil...

Re: Delivery time

Out of the blue email today, saying my car is built. Was told it was going to be built 2023 so was a bit of a surprise.

Now to join the next stage of the lottery, how long it takes to be delivered. This side of Christmas or not, we'll have to wait and see

Re: Delivery time

I didn't realise until reading the thread that the Govt had extended to 18 months. I got an email a couple of days ago from my dealer, and he just said that 'good news, your grant will be honoured' No catches, caveats or mentions of the Govt extension, so hopefully that means I'm locked in to receiv...

Re: Delivery time

Been told my bog standard spec car has now slipped from October to January 23. 16months from ordering if (and a big fecking one it is at that) it turns up in Januray. The story so far has been, you'll get it in April, oops no you won't, you'll now get it in December, oops no you won't, you'll get i...

Hi all - another long time lurker - first time poster! Ordered ID.3 via work scheme Nov 21 and have been regularly sent updates (moving back the date) from my original delivery estimate of May 22. Just got a new one today - with delivery now estimated 1 Aug 2023! … I rang them as thought they might...

Re: Delivery time

Was yours a preexisting order that you picked up? Do you have your order number? Is it a non performance pro, curious as that's what I've ordered a day before yours and last update was week 47 build. Not as far as I am aware. Or if it was the dealership didn't let on that it was. Family Pro, Moonst...

Re: Delivery time

There is an EU database of car sales and it would demonstrate that cars like the Cupra Born, which weren't even available to order when a lot of us placed our orders, so its very easy to demonstrate that VW were building cars that were ordered later than ours, while deciding to move our cars to late...

Re: Wrong spec - what did you do?

If I remember correctly, the price of the Life was £32k for the base model, which it appears as to what you have got. I remember distinctly when I ordered my Life in Oct (then swiftly changed it to Family once the MY22.5 info came out) that once the new interior came out, it was a £1.2k option on th...

Re: Delivery time

A little bit of good news for those with delayed cars at least, 'possibly' good news Rumours that the Govt are strongly considering a 5% VAT reduction across the board. Thats £2k for a £40k car, or £1.5k for a £30k car One would assume VAT is charged at point of sale, so if this comes into force, we...

Re: Delivery time

I'm just wondering about the other cars coming out of the factory. Eg, the Cupra Born. Considering most of us ordered before the Cupra was even available, surely that would mean Cupras wouldn't be built until 2023. But in reality, what has maybe happened is that there is a cut off point where they a...

Re: Delivery time

Soul jacker's car is another example of cars getting delivered ahead of others could it be that dates mean nothing?
