mate.. sign on the line and join the beautiful people...

I must! Tired of feeling so so ugly

Bought a White R 5 Door in May (Delivery Nov) for $62K with the following options, did I get good price???

DSG
Leather
Dynaudio Sound
Sat Nav
MDI
Sunroof
Elec seats
Black 19inch wheels

Yep, you did awesome. I paid $65k, no DSG, no Leather but ordered with ACC. In fact, feeling a bit ripped now… I thought I was doing good getting him down from original asking price of $67.5k...

Incidentally the salesman advised me that the 5dr DSG R with vienna and 19's was $62k retail

I calculate $64593.40 for that. So as I said, maybe I'm missing something... when you put your exact onroads into the spreasheet, it calculates within a few cents, and that error is purely about whether you're calculating on the rounded figures or the actuals. So I've really no idea how there could be so much discrepency between what your dealer is saying and what the prices VGA publish, and what VICROADS and the Federal Government say their costs and taxes are...

Don't worry I did even worse! Compared to you, got DSG but no dynaudio/satnav/sunroof and paid $60k! Happy to pay a premium for 11-day delivery though... and today is day #10. Wonder if I'll sleep tonight

wow i got raped!

That's offensive. It only trivialises a word that can only mean sexual assault. When people use the word rape in new contexts they still rely on the original meaning of the word - its connotations of brutality and subjection. You need to be aware of the hurt that casual use of the term can inflict.

Finally the time has come for me to order my R
I am looking at ordering a CW 5 door DSG with black talladegas, Vienna pack and RNS510. At first I was thinking like a tight ass and considered buying a sat nav aftermarket and fitting it myself but if the price is right I shouldnt have to worry.

Spoke to someone at Burwin VW that some of the boys put me onto and he said he can do roughly around $57k for those options (hinting that he can do better) which was around $62 RRP. I am going to push for a bit more... is that reasonable? from what I have read I should be right squeezing a bit more out of him?

Do yourself a favour and get ACC.. even if you have to ditch the Sat Nav

+1!

found a pretty bumpy road today, it was very jittery in normal mode but put ACC in comfort and wow - much better! not limo-smooth, but it does make a noticeable difference.

That is an aspect however the handling and feel of the car are so much sharper, the feedback through the steering really changes the personality of the car.. if you want a car for all seasons and all moods.. then go the ACC

Oh yeah and in Rising Blue
