I merged your thread into this, as it seemed the best fit. I'm not sure what you mean by your post exactly. You haven't seen any 3 door GTI's? Where? On these forums? In pictures? At the dealers? On the road?

I've seen them in all those locations...

Edit: In fact, one of our members picked one up on the weekend....

Hey all,

Do you think that I could pick up a 3dr GTI (DSG) for $40k?

Or is that pushing it too much. At the moment they are $41,490 drive away

You really only need to post the same question once.... so I'll link you to my reply.

Summary - not much chance

FFS, 41k is close enough to 40 LOL.

Well Barloworld VW are selling 3 Door GTI's drive away for $38,990, add 2.5K for DSG and yes, you could get one around the 40K mark.

Last time I checked, $38990 plus $2500 was $41500ish... or, $41490 to be exact....

Pauly, if by around the $40k mark you mean the deal he was already offered - which is from the EOFY sale, then fine. But if by around $40k you mean better than what he is being offered, then probably not. The costs of rego, stamp duty, ctp, and dealer delivery are still there, they don't magically disappear. The dealer and Volkswagen still need to pay them. So basically, what a sale like this means is that they're giving you a hand by taking away much of the negotiation hassle that you'd normally be subject to. It does not mean you can get a larger discount than you'd normally be able to achieve.

At $41,500 - that is already about a 12% discount - depending on what your rego/ctp/plates costs are (which will vary from person to person). A 12% discount on a practically base-spec car is awesome.

thats cool, I just thought I would let him/her know there is a sale on atm. No harm...

And you also never ever know your luck if you can get abit more taken off with bargaining. You dont know if you dont ask.

If he needs it to be SPOT ON 40K, your fresh out of luck if your after a 3 door DSG Model. But if you can go make yourself go for the manual, it will come in just under the 40K limit.

If not, just save that extra couple of weeks, and when your spending 40K on a car, whats an extra 1.5K? haha.

good luck.
