Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[markwid]

MY11 Golf GTI 5-Door DSG, Candy White, 18" Detroits, Bi-Xenon's (PXT), RVC, MDI, Bluetooth.
Aiming for $45k onroad, which is 14.37% discount w/ my CTP estimate.

A bit ambitious but good luck with the negotiations. Hope you have corporate plus discount, otherwise it will be hard to reach.

Yeah - it's a lofty goal to achieve when the starting point wasn't in the LCT territory. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would be an exceptional result if it were to be achieved.

Last week I placed an order for a MY11 Golf GTI 5-Door DSG, Candy White, 18" Detroits, RVC and Bluetooth. I got it for what I feel is a pretty good price of $45,500. I reckon if it wasn't for this forum, and this thread in particular, I would have been paying somewhere in the region of $47k, so thanks!
Isn't the internet awesome?

Agreed. It is just that many things come into play when getting an exceptional deal like that. Like if OP is a skilled negotiator, if the dealer principal at that point in time is willing to do a "poor" deal - which probably have to be balanced out with a few "rich" deals.

In any case, wish OP best of luck. This is not meant to discourage OP from trying - just hope he doesn't get "laugh at" by the sales guy when he disclose his target price.

It's quite a long thread, and pretty hard to easily find someone else who's posted a price for the same spec. I gave up after reading through about 25 pages! I've used the calculator, I've even looked at the 'deals' spreadsheet (which only includes 1 GTI?).

I was pricing up a basic 5-door GTI w/ xenon's, but damnit some of the option prices are just too good... like $500 for the fancy Reverse Camera, which looks like a PITA to try and retrofit later.

Anyway, in case someone has ordered a similar spec & feels like replying with the price they managed, I'm now looking at:

MY11 Golf GTI 5-Door DSG, Candy White, 18" Detroits, Bi-Xenon's (PXT), RVC, MDI, Bluetooth.

Aiming for $45k onroad, which is 14.37% discount w/ my CTP estimate. I'll be keeping my existing plates, not sure how that'll work out, but I'm assuming the $80 standard plates for the calc.

To give you an idea, I ordered mine back in September for $45,600 with the following specs:

GTI 5-Door DSG, Carbon Steel, 18" Detroits, sunroof, tint, reverse sensors, and got a free ipad thrown in. Btw, I didn't have any corporate discount.

Although we have different options, their prices are quite comparable. So don't see why you can't get something close to 45k.

The RRP for that config is $47,690 (Assuming $400 for the tint and $700 for the reverse sensors dealer accessory).
The RRP onroad for MELBOURNE for that is $52,094.70 - so the discount is about 12.47% - which is quite an impressive effort at that price point.

shauno's car though is $47,710, or $52,551.00 on the road in SYDNEY (notice that for $20 diff in car price, there is ~$450 diff in onroad price, and that goes to the gov, not he dealer, so it's not negotiable...), and then to have an additional $600 discount in addition to what you got, to get to a 14.37% discount... it's just pushing it.

If there's a 2010 MY11 with similar specs, I might see how low they'll go...

Some dealers won't part with a demo model due to the waiting period. I know my local dealer wouldn't part with their demo R...phone around first and ask what they have in the yard, saves driving around.
