Reply With QuoteHi guys,
I'm trying to get a good price from melbourne dealers. No luck here, no one seems to want to budge on price. Best I can get on a Candy White, 5dr manual with MDI and mats is $44880 drive away.
Any recommendations?

I've seen a few advertised on carsales.com.au recently at discounted prices. I'm only going by the options I can visually see on the pic's attached to the advertisements, but if they are the same as what is being sold then there are some real discounts out there.
- 5 Door
- Metallic paint
- DSG
- Sat nav
*Advertised in WA for $48K drive away (works out to be $51,530 on coreying's spreadsheet, a saving of $3,530)
- 5 Door
- Metallic paint
- DSG
- Sat nav
- Sunroof
- Leather seats
*Advertised in QLD for $49,600 drive away (works out to be $56,990 on coreying's spreadsheet, a saving of $7390 - surely this one can't be right?)
Yes, I know some aspects will vary as coreying's spreadsheet is based on NSW, but it is still a good guide to go by and shows that discounts are being offerred before negotiating has even begun (that is of course if the pic's shown in the advertisements are the actual cars being sold).

That one in WA doesn't say anything about Sat nav - the head unit in the pictures is probably the standard RCD510 system... if so $48k is probably around RRP?
Can't seem to find the QLD one though...

My apologies, I assumed the RCD510 was sat nav. So yes, probably around RRP then. My bad

Why arnt we getting the reduction in import duty passed on in our quotes??? Volkswagon are just an absoulete joke.... droppin $50k on a car you expect atleast 8-9% discount plus the reduction in duty equates to a minimum $6k discount per car IMO

The reduction in import duty doesn't happen until 1st January... Mazda have passed it on to customers already, but other companies haven't and I'm not even sure if they're obliged to either (unless maybe the ACCC has something to say about it?)

Really? Sounds very scientific, but BS more like.Originally Posted by erko
If a car is already more prone to understeer than oversteer, increasing rear grip will not cause the front to breakaway earlier than it already does; front grip will be unchanged.
Of course, if a car is prone to oversteer (eg because it has bald tyres or retreads at the rear), improving rear grip could make it understeer instead of oversteer.
But increasing the grip on the "grippier" end of the car will have no effect on the grip at the less grippy end.
Front wheel drive vehicles like the Golf have characteristic understeer and so, all things being equal, more grip at the rear of the car will not alter the point at which the car starts to understeer.
There is no "proportionality" about it at all, erko. "LOL"

Just get the car!
You're looking at a high demand car in the first week of its launch. If you want to save a few $K you'll most likely have to wait a whole amount of time that will seem inconsequential to the time you will have lost by not getting it now.
Sure, get the best deal you can, but I'd rather pay an extra couple of gorillas and have the car rather than chase and chase and chase for something that may not be there.

What reality do you live in? "expect a 8-9% discount"?
They can sell as many as they get so why would they just throw money away?
