Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[Corey_R]

I think RRP was $56k for the above specs

I come up with $56013.74 on the road in NSW for that configuration, plus whatever the cost of the iPod cable is.

Just speaking with my sales guy about the black 18' motorsport wheels. I know the guy through an other car forum and he is an enthusiast and knows his stuff. Its very rare for a car salesman in my experience

Cost price is $885 each no tyres, and he reckons they are poor value, given that the are just cast (not forged) and not particularly light. Apparently was a point of discussion in this mornings sales meeting!

So im definately going aftermarket for my 18's either German or Japanese.

[Corey_R]

Yeah - on my MKV GTI I aquired a set of 18" Oettinger rims designed specifically for the Golf from European Autotech/Harding Performance. They are from Germany and apparently made by BBS. They were around that price, so I'd agree with the dealer that the VW Motorsport Rims are not great value.

[erko]

Yeah, you can even buy BBS CH locally for $870 in 18x8. I know which way i'd go.

Well to give people an idea, you can make some savings.

I'm picking up mine this week and I paid $53,600 onroad with the following:

Golf GTI 3 door red
DSG
Leather
18" Detroits
Tints
Sunroof
Park Assist
Rear camera
MDI including Apple ipod cable

I think RRP was $56k for the above specs

thats an awesome price on roads...i'm pretty sure i went and had a look at your car last weekend, the dealership at chatswood by chance? the dealer told me it was already sold and it had the same specs as above....

i took another one for a test-drive and to be honest if my impatience for the R gets the better of me, i'll be getting the same spec as you but in Candy White...any reason for not opting for the Bi-Xenon's?

the dealer told me that pretty much all the allocation has been sold except for about 50 cars...and not many around with xenon's nor many coming...he also said that some guy's spec was wrong when it arrived and they quoted him a 6 month wait on getting it over here....i think he decided to order an R instead...but surely that same problem can happen again?? im not too keen on waiting till june only to find out that they've over specced the car and they try to stick me to options i dont want.....

Does that price take trade in of current rims and rubber?

Im getting cost price quote on wheels and rubber and i'm thinking price might be closer to $2200 for everything

No wasn't from Chatswood. For the extra price to have Bi-Xenon's its not worth it for me personally. I originally wanted White, but when i saw the red, I had to have it! Yeah I heard not many with xenon's at all, ACC was hard to come by too!

Send me a PM if you want to know who I bought my car from. The guys I bought it from couldn't do enough for me (service & price).

no, no trade in on current wheels. That would obviously reduce price but would likely vary from dealer to dealer.

Went past a dealer to get some info on the upcoming R and see the GTI. They only have 5 doors and was told 3 doors available early next year. Given the outgoing DSG R32 and sunroof is about 68k RRP and pricing indications are similar for the R, then I have to decide if I want to spend the money.

3dr
DSG
Candy White
Leather
Sunroof

Didn't try any negotiations but comes to $51970 RRP. Have to check if I can get corporate discount, I know we do with other manufacturers. I wouldn't be buying unless I can get it for under $48k. I'm resisting a GTI test drive as I know I'll get impatient and just buy then regret not waiting for the R hehe

Just don't like the standard GTI wheels, nothing aftermarket can't fix but its extra money that shouldn't need to be spent!

I'm not sure if people really get a chance to test drive cars at night to really experience the difference it makes. But having owned a car with Bi-Xenon's, it feels really strange (and very dark!) to go back to a car with regular lights.
