Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

[clubbie]

You should be able to do better, aim for about $36k. Ask for corporate discount.

[clubbie]

I will do it for $36,000 Drive Away, 12 Months Rego, Floor Mats.

There is an offer you can't refuse. $2k saved with no sweat. Similar prices to the EOFYS. Thanks Dermot.

Thats a 11+% discount which is getting right up there.

As for expensive that's you call. Maybe yolu could drive it's nearest competitor SP25 (auto) and then the 1118TSI. Not as refined but getting better. IMHO the Golf seems cheap compared to an A3 1.4 or a 1 series with a better performance/ride and interior than both.

Any advice on what drive away price i should be aiming for?
GTI 5 Door DSG
Rear View Camera

The GTI Price Calculator 2010 from this forum indicates RRP Drive Away Price of $53,857. How much discount should I be able to negotiate with the dealer?

FAQ

[Poolshark]

negotiate for them to give you an r with just the camera for that money

[frequentlyaskedquestions]

yea, i have looked at that. a 5dr dsg R would be $59155 RRP (again using the brilliant calculators from this forum) if i dropped the leather and reversing camera (but keep the stereo upgrade and dongle - must have music!). the forums suggest getting discount on the R is tough, but more likely to be able to negotiate on the gti. anybody have any experience here that would help? 7% discount would get the gti below $50k. is that a reasonable target, given i don't have corporate discount, etc?

thx

FAQ

[LIFE IN THE LOW LANE]

Hi all have just read this entire thread and a question to all the Qld members on here as to which dealer is doing the deals so to speak as I hear a lot of differing reports. I am chasing the following...

GTI 5dr manual
leather
bi xenon lights
boot liner
MDI
bluetooth
metallic paint

One quote is $50125.

Pretty sure my wife(who will be driving the car most of the time) will qualify for the corporate disc. Am i being realistic is saying I want to pay no more than $42 - $44 drive away??

cheers.

[Banzai]

Don't know about the corporate discount but I'd say more likely to be $45k to $46k if you bargain hard. There is over $5k in just the leather and bi-xenons alone.

Don't worry about bluetooth, and if the boot liner isn't thrown in for nix then get it at the spares counter where it will be cheaper.

[simonm]

Using coreying's GTI spreadsheet, drive away RRP in QLD with standard plates is $52,200 without the boot liner.

A 10% discount would take that down to $47k. $42k-$44k would be in the order of 15-20%, which is probably entering the unreasonably high expectations range.

[dave_r]

I will do it for $36,000 Drive Away, 12 Months Rego, Floor Mats.

Not often you'll find a dealer willing to do that on a public forum, good work. Be surprised if you didn't have a few sales wrapped up on Monday.

given i don't have corporate discount, etc?

I wouldn't worry too much about corp discount. You can do better with some friendly discussions. The corp thing just makes it easy to stroll into a dealer and sign up for a decent price without ANY effort at all.

[LIFE IN THE LOW LANE]

Just got quoted $46600 inc orc for the following...

06 Golf GTI 5 door
18" detriot's
Cloth trim
MDI
ACC
bluetooth
tint

DD was $1495. Sales guy told me he could get more off price but would have to speak to boss who he said would knock some more off. I also said to throw in mudflaps($300 fitted) and boot liner($200) as well so we'll see what they come back with.
