Golf R Observations and Questions

[REXman]

ccoops79 I ordered a Golf R 3 door in Candy white
DSG
ACC
RVC
MDI
Talladega 19's in black
Sunroof
bluetooth and leather

And I'm here to tell you that that pricing calculator is about 5-6 grand out, out on road for me low $60's No trade in taken into account and I did get a corporate discount however that still doesn't make up for the discrepancy

The calc is obviously based on RRP. Coreying has not put together a sheet that guesses discounts. It was accurate for me. And seems spot on with the website/taxes.

That's an impressive price bordering on charity, are they making anything at all? I thought I got an awesome deal and that was through a fleet company.

Angryman has kindly sent me the break-down of his quote. As many who used my spreadsheet back in June when the R came out know, the spreadsheet is usually accurate within a few cents or dollars... well, turns out the change in financial year has changed that! hehe
I'll update it in the next few days and upload a new version which takes into account changes at state and federal levels (registration, insurance, stamp duty and LCT changes!). Even without those changes, it was still only $106.82 out on Angryman quote when the discounts and onroads he received were placed into the correct boxes.

Thanks everyone

Thats awesome. More power to you man. So you what was your deal? $5-6K off the on road price?! thats great. yeah I didnt get the best price on my MY09 WRX.. This is going to be the last car I buy for a while.. Thats why i optioned mine pretty hard. Its buying a unit etc for me next. So last toy for a while unless I hit the jackpot, which might be hard considering i dont play Lotto.

Another night owl, I must be getting old cos these late nights are doing my head in! Why don't you get an R36, put a mattress in the back and then no need for the unit lol. With Sydney prices, it'd work out a hell of a lot cheaper!

Oh better mention something R related cos coreying doesn't like us talking **** in here
Has anyone noticed that their are **** all R's on the road? Other than in a dealer, I've seen only ONE R on the road and it was a boring silver 5dr one at that!

Man. late nights.. My brains still going out clubbing, but I havent been out in like 5 years.. and Im firmly in my desk chair lol. hey tell the golf r to come on down so i can stop foruming so hard and get driving!

First one I have seen, non-dealer, was a blue one at darling harbour just this weekend. but it was dirty and had roof racks - so It didnt excite me much about my purchase (im getting the same car). So i went home and looked at some clean photos just to make sure I hadnt made a boo-boo. hahaha..

The thing is the loonger I wait for my R, the more Im doing my head in with colours and options etc..

For those who are interested, I'm organising a S2TPP Paddle Shifter group buy over here.

I've only seen one on the road here in Perth and i only caught a quick glimpse of it as we passed it at an intersection. To be honest i haven't really seen that many MkVI Gti's around here either.
