Picking it up 1st September

[Scratch]

Hi all,
Just be told our Pro Performance ID3 will be ready to collect 1st September. Has anyone put together a check list for picking up the ID3? Besides the obvious of scratches and damage. I was thinking perhaps, what should the software version be, or anything else specific to this car? i have been looking through the only owner's manual I can find on-line (1st edition) and it seems a bit like trying to read "War and Peace".
Thanks

• Software version will probably be 0792 - that’s 2.1

• Have the We Connect ID. app on your phone, logged in, ready for pairing with the car - do that when you collect it

• There will be a Type 2 charging lead in the boot

• The dealer should give you a USB-C lead which works with your phone

• There will be a 60-page "read me" manual in the glovebox

• You can access a full manual online at https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/owners- ... nuals.html, enter L3 VWW as the registration if yours doesn't work

Ah yes, mats. Not officially, just a promise from the salesman. I wait with baited breath to see if they materialise.

Do they provide a hard copy of the owner's manual with the car? Or is just on-line?

Manual all on line.

Something to read on the can.

I added these to my comment above:

I got my mats on eBay for £30 and they seem just as good as the "official" VW ones I had in my Golf. I guess time will tell.

All this talk about a hard or soft manual .. you might just be right

Sounds promising. Have you got a link to who you purchased from on Ebay?

I actually got the mats when I collected the car. Result!

Out of interest did they have it covered with a dust sheet ready to pull off like Mercedes & other manufacturers do?

I take it you mean the car and not the mats?

No they didn't have it covered. Never experienced anything like that with past cars.

Depends on the dealer, mine was sat in a corner of the car park but that was October under tighter Covid restrictions. I've seen other owners post photos/videos of theirs under a reveal sheet or with a big bow on it.

I do know someone who has always taken VW PCP and they got things like boxes of chocolates and/a bunch of flowers. I prefer the mats.

It really does depend on the dealer and how you bought it. If you get it at a huge discount through DTD or similar, you're less likely to get the super special as they're clearly a big volume dealer, so haven't got the time to do it for everyone.

If I order a car and they can't include a set of mats etc after negotiations, I know I've screwed down the best discount I can. The ID3 is the first VAG car I've bought that didn't come with a full set of mats as per factory spec. I never use the carpet ones anyway. I always buy a set of rubber mats and stick those in.

Mine was with a VWFS PCP, it came with mats (1st Edition) which I sold after getting the all-weather ones.

My dealer has thrown in free mats, special paint finish with scotchguard and a number plate fixing kit for taking my personal plate off my old car. Really hoping for the dust sheet job on handover as a surprise for my wife.
