Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[Maverick]

FYI quote below from the 4th dealer I have dealt with

Now - As you can see thats a discount, and according to most people on here " Amazing" but im not impressed. We have to drive this pricks harder... If everyone like old mate above just goes ahead and thinks $3000 off is fantastic than people like me have no chance... I want and will get 10%

You can do whatever you want, but stuffing dealers around on a car that is in short supply isn't going to get you a bigger discount, all you'll end up with is no discount and dealers that won't be willing to help you.

**** me its a 3 door turbo hatchback, lets be realistic. Its no BMW or Porsche we are talking about here. There is margins to play with and there is way too many stupid people on here paying stupid prices

People are paying the price that they negotiate, it's a brand new model and there is limited stock. Call them stupid if you want but I'm sure most of them are either sitting in their cars enjoying them or sitting back eagerly waiting on delivery. You on the other hand are sitting in your chair in front of your computer whining about everything and demanding a huge discount on a car that you clearly are not that interested in and complaining about a car company that you clearly don't like.

If I were a salesman I'd be showing you the door because you're not a customer worth having. There's plenty of customers out there willing to pay a fair price that will be happy afterwards, why deal with someone who demands discounts and will do nothing but complain and whine about everything.

If you want the car pay the price that's on offer or go and buy something else.

Its no BMW or Porsche we are talking about here.

I think one of the things that is also important to note, that whilst the VW is indeed no Porsche, there are definitely benefits of that too. If you are getting super excited now about the cost of the VW then wait till you get in a BMW or Porsche..

I'm currently driving a 911 and its absolutely a ripper of a car, but its not cheap to own/maintain/repair etc..

Having said that, i do personally think some the the VW options are pretty expensive.

HAHAHA yeah Im sure you will get a reduction - The dealer is licking ur balls.....

And you reckon $3200 is a good discount?? Mate ur dropping $50K on a hatchback and ur happy with $3200??? **** me people like this make it ***** hard for people like me to get a car at a decent price

Mate, you joined a forum catered to people passionate about Volkswagen AG. I reckon you're barking up the wrong tree.

When I paid over $60k for my (almost) fully optioned GTI, sorry, but your stingy wallet was the furthest thing from my mind. First and foremost on my mind was getting a beautiful car, luxury appointments, performance tweaks and be one of the first in the country to do it. I've never had a nice car, I've wanted a Golf GTI for over 10 years, and now I have one.

I paid close to RRP to get a car the day before it was released. And you know what?... I'm happy, my wife is happy, and anybody that doesn't like it can lick MY balls.

cmon guys

im sure this clown is having the time of his life running around getting the biggest discount "quotes" as possible and telling everyone about it on all sorts of forums!

nice work lawsy you keep it up bud

Really? Sounds very scientific, but BS more like.

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"

really? you need rear slip for power OFF oversteer to tighten the line and fight understeer....adding more rear grip reduces this ability, which means more understeer. The level of front grip is NOT this issue, its the change in the balance of grip levels from front to rear. Clearly, you dont have much experience beyond getting groceries so im not going to bother explaining it you further.

LOL.

I agree with you on the prices people accepting are really not much of a discount but with supply and demand that is how it is. I'm finding it had to justify ~$50k on a 3dr DSG with leather/sunroof but if you want it, what can you do?

But I wouldn't be taking aim at others because they're willing to settle for a lower discount than yourself!

Yeah I definitely woudn't be playing with wheel sizes like has been suggested without expecting a negative change in handling. To say it won't effect anything is insane.
