Hi Guys,

Need your help. I have a Polo GTI order on order,but have decided to scrap that and buy a Golf GTI. Just went to the dealership then and they have offered me a 3dr white Golf GTI DSG for $40,500 inc corporate discount. Is this a good price, or can I get cheaper? Also, I want the 18in wheels but that is a $1200 extra so I my see if he can throw that in. I want to purchase on Monday so any information would help.

If that is on road that's a pretty good price. Is it in stock, a demo or on order? Any options?

If it has a sunroof and you don't want it let me know where it is

No options, just DSG. I want to add the 18 inch detroits too so i'll see what they can do in terms of price.

back in Sep10 I managed to negotiate a CW 5dr manual w/ sunroof for $41500 w/ corporate disc. So, take out the sunroof and the 5/3 doors price differences, add back DSG and that should be a good price for you.

The 18" detroits, some dealers are happy to just take $1200 and swap the denvers with detroits from another car. other dealers want to charge you the full rrp on the detroits + tyres.

Thanks again Rexman. about to start negotiations

Just wondering, can anyone explain what the corporate discount is and how you qualify for it?

you just have to get a letter from your professional association to confirm that you're a current member and give it to the dealership after you have signed the contract and before you collect the car.

In my case I spent part of my life away from social life in completing my Grad Dip Chartered Accountants, then become a member of the ICAA, just to get VW corporate discount! :p

Other the professional associations can be:
CPA, Australian Medical Assoc (AMA), etc.....

There should be one or more professional membership bodies for most professional careers in dentistry, doctors, lawyers, accountants, blah blah blah.....

nat225 thanks. I think I am eligible. I've seen people get good prices with and without corporate discounts, would you suggest to use it or is old fashioned negotiating better?

**Corey_R** · 19-02-2011, 09:46 PM

IF you are eligible, then using a corporate discount helps regardless part (1/2?) of the rebate comes from VGA. So it allows you to get just that little bit extra than you'd be able to negotiate otherwise.
