Not sure of the RRP for that particular one, although discount it more if it has been on test drives

VW moved away from a percentage discount some time ago for their various levels of their Corporate Fleet "rewards"

Fixed amount based on vehicle and elegiblity to a particular level plus discounts in DD charges

My Golf R? CW, DSG, 5 door, DCC, 18s, arrived on shore in Jan/Feb, 4000km on the clock, no track time, never been launched.

Circumstances changed during the wait time, so my VIC-plated baby now spends a lot of time garaged in NSW. I'll be swapping her for a Polo or something more city-friendly soon. I'd rather she find a home with an enthusiast who wants to save a few bucks, so I've dropped this note here a few days before she goes up on carsales. You know what she looks like - like the day I got her.

If you're interested, drop me a line.

Corey, is it worth updating the pricing calculator so that it no longer includes MDI and Blu tooth as that is a standard on MY12 onwards..

**sub11z** · 17-08-2011, 02:56 PM

MY12 is the same as MY11.5 + MDI and BlueTooth???

Is it ridiculous to ask for a 13% discount? Base on the calculator, the drive away price is $74523.20, I was hopeing to get it down to 65K.

I got 12 and the guy told me I was breaking his heart...

I cancelled my order on the gti as it was delayed again and decided to purchase an R.. obviously I didnt have as great of bargaining power as they had a contract for the gti.. however I managed to get $51,900 for a my12 candy white R in manual with black 19inch talledagas.. I know its not the best price but i think it is probably as good as I could get with a previously signed contract for a different car.. didnt get any other options as I am already out of my price range! but we are happy with our choice!

that isn't bad drive away

Is that driveaway?
