Thanks for Sweet spreadsheet chylld.
Currently after a fairly stock 118TSi at a keen price in Vic, so it has been useful as a starting point. I have no trade in and have access to the corp discount.
Has anyone heard of any dealers doing anything special at the moment. So far I am about RRP < 7% and I really don't want to play until I see the 12 or 13%.
Assuming I can scope out a good deal and I end up with a VW - I expect this will the first of many post for me here. BTW, Nice forum guys

Tell the sales rep how much you are willing to pay to make a deal.

Start with minus 15%. They'll try to meet you halfway between 15% - 10% off the recommended on the road cost. Don't be pressured to sign unless you are within 10% to 13%.

Keep us updated. We need to refine ways in bargaining for a car deal with minimal effort.

Goodluck!

Well I must update our price as things have changed. VW told us that the delivery date would be pushed back to December sometime - way too far away. Since we needed a car sooner than later, we've changed to Reflex Silver with a Sports Pack.

So our final specs, as per invoice are:

118TSI
Reflex Silver (Metallic Paint)
Sports Pack (Cloth)
Manual
Bluetooth
Floor Mats
Boot Protector
Premium Plates

$32,184 (Total Cost, Drive Away) with corporate discount applied.

Car arrives in the country on the 13th September so by the first week of October we should finally have the new car.

Pity - I really wanted the white but the wait is just far too long. That said, the price we got on the Silver one is pretty good I think.

that's an insanely good price dopey! my spreadsheet puts the rrp at $38,802.67 for your config, so you've got the biggest discount on record - 17.1%.

well done!

Excellent price, but there is a time element to it. By the time you actually get the car in a couple of months I reckon that sort of pricing will be more common. I collect my car today and I got 15.9% off - if I did my sums correct. As they say "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Will pass my details later after I have it home.
