Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

Odd question, they are going to less than a new car just because of lower on roads, if you mean depreciation then that is more of a market forces situation.

Trawl Carsales and see what your budget accommodates

I just picked up a white MY13 5 door DSG with Detroits for $42,700 on road. I ended up saving $6400 which I was pretty happy with. Unfortunately I couldn't get any other options as there just weren't any other cars available. I'm fine with that though as it has all the gear I really need.

I was also told it was at least a year wait for the MK7 GTI and I couldn't wait that long.

Hi All, my wife currently has a Golf VI but loves the Cabriolet after having it as a loan car after a recent service. I notice the current Golf promotion does not include the Cabriolet, but I think she qualifies for Corporate Plus. Any suggestions for dealers to check out and pricing, as she enquired at Camberwell (where the car is serviced), but they weren't all that helpful?

Colour me unsurprised. This has been my experience with them too.

Tell her to go talk to Burwin VW. Tell her to deal with Chris from there. He's a good egg.

Don't know how you guys got some of those great deals over in WA!
Unfortunately I don't have corporate plus benefits and despite buying a Tiguan as well I don't think I will be able to do much better than 41.5K driveaway for a GTI DSG in carbon steel with carpet floor mats. As Brash said, I'm also limited by the vehicles available... tried to get Detroits but they'd have to get a vehicle from interstate. Going to try another dealer who has a Carbon Steel with Detroits in stock... otherwise may have to settle for the 17s.

Edit: Finally settled on 41.5K for carbon steel and DSG. Managed to get floor mats, door sill protectors and the boot liner thrown in at least. Best I could do in SA without corporate discount.

Today's SMH, looks like an official VW ad:

103TDI DSG demonstrators, metallic paint, and with Blumo $33,990 drive away.

Be interesting to see how much they drop in January..

Saw in paper today an offer of 3 years free service on selected models.

Anyone know if they will have a 2012 plate or similar sales soon?

I'm trying to take advantage of the current 1.5% deal to pick up a golf convertible. I am after a certain combination of colour and options, and also want to pay 40K for it. I'm a bit flexible but as of yet the right things haven't appeared together at my price point, new. There's a bunch of near new or demo ones that match up but you can't get the 1.5% finance on those.
One of my required options is the RNS510. Would I be better getting the one I want with everything I want except the RNS and fitting one purchased separately? I feel it might be a pain to then fit the reverse camera, bluetooth etc, but if I dropped the factory fitted RNS there's a couple of cars on offer at the moment.

My GTI had the RCD510 from the factory along with Bluetooth and reverse camera. no issues switching to an rns510 although there's no voice control without rewiring the Bluetooth cable which I haven't done.

Austral in Brisbane are offering 1.5% on ALL Golf models in todays Courier Mail

Get an RNS later if you must waste your money Almost anything else is better as a Navigator
