Manual bro, manual ...

As I calculated, that's still a $6k saving. It would've been almost $8700 if DSG was included.

The $6k is already unbelievable enough! If DSG was included then I'd just laugh at you as I'd know you're pulling our leg!

Guys honestly , the gti 6 is the same price as the golf 5 gti give or take. Why the hell would you then pay $6-7000 grand more especially when it is primarily the same car. Don't be gullable, if they could sell you a gti 5 leather/roof under corporate for mid forties why would you think that the 6 would be worth over 50????

I for one will not bother with the gti until dealers realise that screwing over potential clients with a desirable produt is something only apple can get away with

don't give your salesman brain damage but be confident that as a retail purchase you should be able to get $6,000 off with delivery charges around $2995 and around $8,000 with corporate.

But I was talking about typical road, not dirt or track, driving and, if you are too, I'd hate to be anywhere near you when you use lift-off oversteer to drift your car on a public road.

I don't know what you drive, but in most conditions the Mark V GTI corners like it is on rails and with very neutral handling, especially for a FWD.

So in normal circumstances (whether that be driving to the shops or enthusiastic, but safe, driving on country roads) in which front and rear grip is maintained, more rear grip will not result in more understeer.

So fitting wider wheels to the rear of a GTI should not be detrimental in most circumstances.

But if you mean "more understeer" not in practical terms but in absolute terms (ie under more extreme driving conditions or on a track with an expert such as yourself behind the wheel), then perhaps you could qualify your comments accordingly.

Or do you actually power-off when cornering (your Golf?) on sealed public roads and induce oversteer?

lol. are you in the legal profession by chance?

ahhh, so im a hoon for not endorsing a modification that "should not be detrimental in most circumstances". LingLong tyres should not be detrimental in most circumstances either....

do some reading on race car engineering, carroll smith is a very good source. from this you will learn about vehicle dynamics....that beleive it or not apply to humble road cars too. then you may be able to engage in worthwhile discussion on the subject. I dont have the time or inclination to argue with you about a subject that you have no understanding of, yet hold such strong views.


good luck

Mainly cause the MKV has been around for 5 years and dealers still have stock outstanding, and the MK6 has been around for, oh, two weeks, and dealers have more customers than cars. VW Australia had said that corporate discounts did not apply at this point, and other forum members have confirmed that this was the case with other recently released/refreshed VW models. Also, most dealers said that VW would not allow much discounting on the initial runs and many customers didn't expect it either... as was the situation when the MKV first came out.

In other words... we didn't think the MK6 was any different to the MKV - this happened before when the MKV was first release... this discounting this early IS what is new with the MK6!

Hope that clears up why people are very interested to see the discounts, which dealers are allowing negotiation, and use of the corporate discount

Just wondering what the cheapest dealer delivery is in Sydney? I know Chatswood Classic Cars is 2999

[Corey_R]

Over in the Who should i deal with? GTi 6 thread, a dealer called David @ Central Coast Volkswagen said they charge $1995. A user called Nath said that McGrath Sutherland VW waived the dealer delivery.
I think that any dealer that is serious about having your business will negotiate on the dealer delivery figure, no matter what it starts at.

Hi Guys, as noted above we charge $1,995 dealer delivery and this is the same for all cars we sell. We would not change this to $3000 just because the car is new on the market and to be frank the dealers that are doing this are being a bit naughty (that is only my personal opinion),

However we can always be talked down a bit and will be happy to to the best we can by anyone.

All the Best
