Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

**Christopher** · 18-12-2009, 08:02 AM

Eclipze: May i suggest trying Barloworld in Glen Waverley. They were pretty good in letting me get the corporate discount.
Given that I work at a bank (please don't hate me) and this was initially not on their "approved" list, he spoke to his manager and in the end all I needed to do was give them a business card of mine and all was sorted...

With mine, I got GTI manual 5dr w 18" rims, driveaway for $41k with a 3mth wait...

If you are entitled to corporate discount then the standard dealer delivery is $995

Of course all these figures are up for negotiation but it should give you a good idea

Hope this helps and feel free to contact me with any questions

Kind Regards

Thanks David, as that is what i was getting at too.
If a typical DD charge is between $990 to $2k, are the 10%+ discounts still achievable on these figures?
I'm still not sure if my GTi quote is reasonable or not because of the artificially inflated DD charge.

Thanks for the info Christopher, appreciated.
Glen Waverley isn't too far, I'II give them a call

I read on here that members of the ACS (Australian Computer Society) are eligible for VW corporate discount.

Can anyone confirm and if there are any membership category restrictions (ie - would a 'student' level member be eligible?)

Cheers

As long as you can prove membership you will be eligible

I was happy with Barloworld too! I got a 15% discount and $14,000 for my trade in. Also got mats and petrol.... $17,400 changeover all up for my 118 tsi with sport pack

Makes you wonder about the cost difference... membership cost for one year is likely to save a lot more on the purchase price of the car.
