Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

[Szabz]

Hi Guys,

After much negotiating, finally signed up today.

Golf 103 TDI in Manual:
- Candy White
- Sports Package (Cloth)
- MDI
- Genuine set of mats
- Full tank of Diesel

Drive away in Victoria $33,000. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Car is out of week 10 build, I believe its about to dock in Australia - told we should have it within 4-5 weeks.

Did much tossing and turning over TDI vs TSI - in the end I loved how the TSI drove, but was just too worried about reliability issues - I have a very short tolerance for that kinda stuff. Figured a manual TDI should be close to bullet proof for reliability.

Also heard they are deleting the 103 TDI in a manual from the Aus line up - interesting!

Any thoughts?

Are those figures right ?

I paid $39,800 for a TSI with the specs as per my signature below. That was a discount of just over 11% ..... So can you figures be correct ?

Yeah - Simz figures are a bit wrong. It's about a 12% discount.

Your specs also come out to a 12% discount using the spreadsheet from this thread.

Keep in mind that Simz got sports pack with leather which is a single $5,000 option. Whereas although you have lots of options, they're all $300 to $1900.

Is there an updated version of this spreadsheet with more GTI prices? The one I have downloaded only has one GTI on it.

Just wondering what sort of prices would be realistic to aim for with the current End of Financial Year Sale currently on with free CTP, Stamp Duty, Dealer Delivery and Rego.

[Corey_R]

Really no more than you'd normally be able to bargain for, it's just that a decent portion of your negotiation is already done for you! VW Group Australia / The Dealer still have to pay these costs, so it just comes off what you can negotiate.

i was pretty sure it was liek a 9% discount?
the price list thing from the dealer
okai golf 118 tsi dsg = $31990 + $2195 dealer deliv + $429 ctp + $1025 stamp duty + $365 premium plates = $36004
options
paint = 500$
sport pack leather = $5000
mdi = $270
all up is $41774
i paid $37750
so 90.3% of total price
i guess i rounded off a bit too many zeros buy yea 9.7% discount

[Corey_R]

Your additions forget a few things. Firstly, registration, you haven't included that at all. Also, stamp duty is calculated on the entire cost of the car, including options and dealer delivery (but excluding the ctp/rego/plates). So stamp duty is actually, $1198.65, not $1025.
But using my spreadsheet (rather than the one in this thread, which I think I've just realised has not have been updated with the new lower Golf prices), I get a total of $42,232.65 drive away (Using the details you've provided, plus a rego cost of $285, which is current for the Golf in NSW). So if you got the car for $37750, then that's a 10.6% discount.

ahhh okai, cause on the price brochure thing i got it jsut said $36004 drive away + options is extra. so i jsut worked it off that, didnt really add any of the stuff up >.>
but yea those are without the corporate discount. i think it was my first offer when i jsut dropped by after checking out the sp 25
and i checked a few other places that needs me to use my sister's name for corporate discount for a 100-200$ lower price and i forgot to mention i got this at barlo five dock
