Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[XTC838]

You've got a very good price in my opinion. I'm getting my car through Solitaire but for service I might ring Murray Bridge to compare prices. Not much choices here in SA.

Duttons up in Murray Bridge.

Tried to call Solitaire 1/2 a dozen times on Sunday to ask if they had a GTI with std seats that we could check out. No-one in sales would pick up the phone so we called Murray Bridge who had one.

We went up there to have a look, decided on the leather seats (they had another GTI with leather up there so we could hop between the two), did the negotiating and they came back on Monday with $45k which was my offer.

Pretty happy with the way they do business. For servicing they will bring down a courtesy car to Adelaide pick up my car take it back, service it then return it as part of the service cost.

Now they probably include the courtesy car in the service charge, but it's the fact that they pick up and drop off that makes it a good service!

Murray Bridge is 55ks outside Adelaide for those who are not familiar with South Australia

2 things strike me as odd about this post. Firstly neither Solitaire or Duttons are open on Sunday. Secondly you basically got free leather and a $2000 discount. Thats huge! Congratulations.

Looks like Im off to Duttons.

I think sometimes it's pot luck with sales people. I dealt with Michael at Solitaire who was pretty good in my opinion. Generally return my call within a day or two and is quite prompt with emails.

Although I didn't get the best discount for my car, I am happy I didn't pay more than I have to ($44,350). I also had the demo GTI over night for my first test drive and took it out again for a couple of hours a second time a few weeks later.

Doh! Meant Saturday. Must still be too excited

The corporate plus discount got me $3500 as a starter and the rest was most likely down to the end of the month and needing the numbers.

Had the finance/insurance people and the tint/paint protection calls already. Another bonus of being 55kms away, and getting the contracts done via email means not having to sit through the 100% UV protection BS...

XTC838, $44,350 seems like a very good price for your extras - 5dr, dynaudio, bi-xenons, Detroits.

Does everyone here get the Corporate Discount? Is it with VW Australia or just specific dealerships.

I work for one of the Big 4 banks and our 'Corporate Discount' is with a company that owns several VW dealerships. I've tried twice to get a quote from them but they keep taking the p!ss and putting me in touch with dealership salespeople who come up with their own BS. As a result, I'd much rather deal with someone else or go through another Corporate Programme (Private Fleet perhaps).

[XTC838]

I don't have any Corporate Discount.

[anglo_dude]

Tell Duttons which of the big four you work for. They have a list of companies which are eligible for corporate plus (yours should be in there) and then all you need is a letter from your HR dept which says that you are using the car for business and bob's your uncle.

That's how it worked for me

Cheers mate. Unfortunately, my company won't provide the letter. The bigger the company, the more red tape/procedures.

Agree with Molotov, seems like you got an excellent deal. That's 18% discount according to the Price Calculator spreadsheet.

I only got 14% discount - paid $44,480 for MY12 GTi, 5 dr, manual, carbon steel, leather seats & adaptive chassis control.
