Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[paultrfc]

Hi to all,

I have just ordered my 1st VW yesterday and thought i would let you know the deal, to see what you all think.

I had a trade in just to complicate things! (2007 Honda type R, 40K on clock)

Deep Black, 5 Door GTI, DSG,Leather interior,18" Detroit alloys,MDI and headlight protectors!

$20,300 to swap OTR..

I think i got a decent deal as trade ins can be a pain.

It was classed as a demo, but they had only just put it out, so it had just over 200kms on it.

Cheers

Paul...

Im in a spot of bother with future delivery for a new GTI, was told 6-7 month wait from one dealer and another dealer said 3-4 months...Mind you the dealer who said 3-4 months, gave me an offer that was very reasonable too...almost dropped a deposit....!

Whats everyone elses experience with price, availability and shipment wait...?

The price difference was nearly $3000.00 form three different dealers...?
I cant be without a car for a day let alone 3-4 months....
Oh im in melb...

Yup. Ordered one about...ummm....a week and a half ago. Was delivered last Thursday. Was in stock. Didn't have much choice on options in that it has every one VW offers..haha. They even installed an espresso machine in the boot....OK, really bad humour there. It was either that or no options at all. I lucked out though. Was the colour I wanted with a manual tranny.

Pricewise I saved almost $7k with the end of year clearance sale.

Ask them what's in stock. Even if it's in another state, they can get it to you. If you get it delivered before June 30th you save quite a bit. But, you might have to compromise some of the options you want. Some of them can be dealer installed though (18's, MDI, RNS).

Yeah, i went today and availability was GREY,DSG,ACC and 18"...
Mildura VW offered me the same car over the phone. but my heart is set on WHITE,DSG,ACC,LEATHER and BI XENONS....... and the only white one available is at camberwell, demo and dirty, driven by a mid 20's sales rep and no xenons for $53850.00 ...

So for a new one with xenons was a few thou less then the demo at camberwell, but a delay of 3-4 months?????

Ya, hence why I went with the optioned one. I wouldn't have waited 3 to 4 months for it. I still find that ridiculous. VW should ship manufacturing to Darwin!!

Better off finding something in stock that is close enough to your desired spec, the wait is a killer..!

Highway Volkswagen (QLD) still have a silver 08 Pirelli demo sitting around will be out of warranty soon hahaha..

Well I ordered the end of last week and was told it would be 6 Months (end of Nov).
This was for the following:
Golf GTI 5Door DSG White
RNS510 with Dynaudio 300W premium audio
Media Device Interface (MDI)
Adaptive chassis control
Bi-xenon headlights
Detroit 18“ alloy wheels
Reverse Camera
Seeing as I had to wait 8 months for my 2006 GTI it's an improvement of 2 months

They initially quoted me 6 months... it is looking now more like 3.5 - 4 months...

Well if it turns up earlier I'll be happy

I was originally informed of a 6 - 7 month wait when I ordered in mid March. Then I was informed the car will be here mid to late july.

So you never know your luck.
