Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[mr fox]

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...

I REALLY wanted to try ACC and XENONS on my new toy and get the options I wanted so I decided to wait. The wait will not be pleasant, that is for sure! But the arrival will be a glorious, glorious day.

For me I found myself either being offered a:

a) Demo: Thrashed/hard life from new - no thanks. (think of the types wanting the hot hatch, just for a moment - it aint grandma johnson!)
b) New car in stock: Either getting stiffed on colour, or choice, or both.

I found paying for options that I didnt want/need (no less they are cool!) such as automatic parking, and sunroof, whilst not being offered at least with the options I wanted Xenons and ACC, made it a painful no-brainer.

Most of the good option combos from dealers are now already gone and its the dregs.

Also If you wait for new, you'll be getting a MY11 now.

Now Im normally not patient at all, but I was really wanting my Golf GTI exactly how I wanted cause i couldnt find a compromise on the Xenon/Acc.

Decide on If you can get by till Sept (what i was quoted) without a car, and act sooner than later!

Good Luck

Nice choice with the options, I think Bi-Xenon & ACC are probably two of the best ones and Bi-Xenons are very desirable in the second hand market too - in a few years time every car may have them so people will expect it. Look awesome aswell. I can live without leather & sunroof given they don't do much but are 'nice', just a bit of a rip for $3300 that it's half fake leather and actually think the jacky cloth is pretty sweet and has a pure GTI feel to it. The leather also creases quite easily and can look ratty after a few years so good to be careful geting in/out of the car. My 2yo R32 leather was like new still.

Good luck with the wait, good to get the combo you want.
