Had a good look around the T7 Cali Ocean at Swindon today.   
Looks great.   
A good contribution towards cash off with my “VW previous owner using finance”  
Plus the £2k dealer cont.   
plus my deposit.   
Plus they offered a % discount.   
  
Seriously considering ordering one.   
The 1.5tsi Phev 4Motion. 245PS.   
  
I liked the fortuna red.   
Don’t want black or dark blue (sick of the sand in the rain look)   
Other options are flat grey with black roof.   
Silver. Or indium grey.   
What are your choices and why.   
I’m thinking less time washing the thing.

I’ve ordered white one. I don’t want to pay more only for a color.

Ordered indium grey. Would have liked blue/white but it was a bit too spendy.

Really like the red one, but we will probably go for white with black roof

Is that spoiler thing on the back standard? Don’t like that at all, the black trim with the red looks cheap and tacky. So perhaps the flat grey with black roof if it is, may blend in better. Otherwise black.

White...for me also. Awning on the passenger side would swing it due to the rattles over my ear.

I’m thinking indium grey, a bit shiny, and will have different shades in different settings and light.   
Not feeling the flat grey. Too many Audi, Skoda, Porsche, I see in the flat grey now.   
Indium is a classic CamperVan colour.

Nice, very ‘boudoir’….red and black normally a great combo, works well on the T6. Just something about that spoiler not working for me…

This is where it would go too, easy access to fridge. Really like this idea, as was sick of jumping up inside to get a cold one out the fridge.

I’d choose the red too. For the 4Mo I’d also swap out the wheels for something 17” (OZ, Rally Raid) - off road with AT tyres (falken wildpeak, say) and in black.  
  
My current T6 in Indium, that’s not a bad colour at all.

Drive the deal, Andy & Jim can offer 5% off.   
Which on a brand new released 4Motion ain’t half bad ?  
Not as good as my 10% discount 3 years ago.

VW Commercial Vehicles website, search for manuals and you will get access after entering your VIN

We have a winner.  
Order in. £8.5k saving at DTD.  
5% discount.  
& minus £2k for VW dealer Contribution  
& minus £2k for a previous VW finance product holder within 1year.  
  
  
Mmm, well, looks like Breeze beat DTD.   
I’ve been trying to get a Cali from Tom at Breeze for 5 years. He could never do the best deal.   
But today, Brad & Tom have got it sorted for me.   
  
They also mentioned a 2 month delivery window !
