Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[Duke996]

Excellent, thanks for the feedback guys, just got my quote back from the dealer:

5 door GTI manual
Metallic paint
Bluetooth (STD Kit)
Free mats
Free tank of fuel
Free hire car when getting serviced.

40,500 drive away incl Corp Discount.
This does not include any additional dealer level haggling I can possibly squeeze them for..
I might even look at DSG given the discount he's able to do..

Does the price look reasonable?

Hi Duke996,

Price looks very competitive, however mats come standard with the car (unless he is quoting you the GTI mats which are about $200). Free hire car is pretty standard these days as well. What I would do is try and ask for 18'inch wheels (which are $1200) - 41,000 drive away.

Good luck

Free hire car is NOT AT ALL standard... so that's great.
Matts are standard spec though.

Given a $700 allowance for the standard bluetooth, I figure the car to be ~$47,530 on the road in VIC, making that about a 14.8% discount, which is excellent!

I would be totally surprised if there is any further room for haggling

Essendon VW and Barloworld VW both have that service but you need to book them in advance (1-2 months ahead) while Werribee VW will do a pick up and delivery service at no extra cost. But good on you for getting that deal. See if you can get some Euro plates thrown in!

Yeah - I know that some do it, but others dont. Last time I was at my local, they had a courtesy pickup, but no cars available for the people on single day servicing etc. Members have said other dealers have neither. So was just trying to point out that this is not a standard thing, and even if the service is available, it's not always free

Yes very valid point mate, depends on the dealership. I have been a Peugeot driver and Peugeot do it. So he has done really well with his deal. BTW I asked my dealership to write in my contract that if there is a map upgrade for the sat nav they will update it with no extra charge. (so the install it to the hard drive rather than giving me a new disc)

Thats a good move! I wish i was aware of it when i was doing the deal in Nov.. i would have done the same!

I would still ask them anyway, no skin off their backs, it's just a software upgrade.

Good Luck

Thats the funny thing I didn't negotiate the hire car point. I asked whether or not fleet discount entitles me to some cheaper/discounted servicing...He said no, but we give you a hire car when its getting serviced...

Which makes sense given the car is used primarily for business use hence the corp. discount.

Apparently there isn't many 6sp manuals floating around either, DSG is far more common. So I might have to wait til the end of May anyway..

Well you are lucky, you get your car by the end of May... I ordered my car at the beginning of this month and its ETA is mid September
