    Buying a GTI in SE QLD

    Anyone have any recommendations of VW dealerships and salesmen to negotiate my new GTI
    My minimum specs are Mk6 GTi White, 5 door, DSG, , 18" Detroits, MDI, Bluetooth, ACC.


    Any help or advise is apprecreciated. After reading the other posts, I am tempted to add Dynaudio to the list but not sure how much that would delay the car. I would like it by end May 2010.

    Thanks

    Best i could do was with Highway Auto (Springwood)

    I would reccomend looking in the dealer section of the forum and see if there are any close enough that you could arange a discount with and fly down to pick the car up from.

    I believe Central Coast VW (Gosford, NSW) are doing good deals at the moment and they are located close to an airport.
    worth a $100 flight if you can save more than that.

    Agree.

    I went to Austral and they didn't even contact me back.
    I called them another 2 times and then gave up.

    I went to Northstar as i heard good things about them but the salesperson i spoke to left and the new salesperson could only give me a deal of 1,300 more than the drive away price that was advertised on tv.

    I believe Central cost vw are doing good discounts at the moment.
    The reduction in import duty helps as well.

    Thanks guys, great advise. How do you go with registering the car in Qld rather than NSW. Is that a problem?

    Ian Boettchers VW in Ipswich has been great.
    Also won regional dealership of the year 2009
    I dealt with Paris Arthur (Mr) the Sales Manager.
    Also been good with after sales support with the Pirelli.

    I'd recommend you try there before going interstate.

    So you don't have to worry about having to pay stamp duty in both NSW and QLD or anything like that?
    When I wanted to buy a car which was already registered in VIC and bring it to NSW, VICROADS made it such a pain in the butt that I ended up not bothering!

    When I was looking at getting the Golf I was considering a deal with Burwin but it was too complex getting the car back to Brisbane and getting it registered that I gave up on that idea.

    Another reason why we should have one transport department for all of Australia, a national drivers license and nation registration/ctp.

    The savings on duplication alone would be hundreds of millions a year and they could offer cheaper registration and ctp.... pftttt as if, they'd blow all the savings on something stupid
