I have to say though the prices being quoted are rather high. So, perhaps they are smart. They are putting their product out their for a customer base who doesn't want to wait.

What you are suggesting (i think) is similar to the bait and switch. That is technically illegal in NSW.

but i found out that some different priced GTI with same photos....

Car dealers will often use 'stock photos' so that they dont' have to pay someone to go take multiple photos which to a regular person don't look any different!

That would be false advertising and highly against the law, they have advertised the car and VIN number and stock number which means that the car is in stock.

from what i saw last week whilst shopping for mine, most dealers here in vic had stock of GTI's, but either with just sunroof, or leather as options.

I think once you start optioning up, then you have to be prepared to wait, or maybe they have one on the shop floor ready to go.

Essendon had a red one fully optioned and camberwell had a white one 2010 with number plates GTIVI with a fair few options also.

I can also confirm that Parramatta Denlo in NSW has at least 8 MK6 GTI's in stock (as of two weeks ago anyway).

I think this is the big difference between the MK6 and MKV. Sure, if you custom order a car it's going to take 6 months to get here again. But there is still plenty of stock in dealers if you're ok not custom ordering. For the MKV release, you had practically no chance of getting a car in stock, so everyone had 6 month waits.

Hahaha, Essendon VW tried to sell me the red one. Which means that the car has been sitting there for two or so months...
