118TSI DSG w Sportspac and delivery time of just 3 weeks.

Probably should have shopped around a bit more than I did. Will be interested to see what others think of the deal I got.
Have 24 hrs to "cool down" where I can back out if I think I can get a better deal elsewhere.

118TSI DSG in black
Sportspac
Mats
Bluetooth
reverse sensors
38.5K

Interested in any comments as to whether this was a decent price or not.
Purchased in Sydney.

All the Best

Hey Blakey, Welcome and Congrats.

As far as the 'deal' you got, well according to the spreadsheet a 118TSI with Metallic paint, DSG, BT, Rear Sensors should be $39,935 on the road in NSW. Depending if you got SP (Cloth) $2K or SP(Leather) $5K in there as well you are looking at a discount of 8.3% (cloth) or 14.6% (Leather) so given the average is around 10.9% (which includes those that get Corp discount) you havent done too badly with the cloth, and if you have leather then you got the deal of the year!!

The Mats should be free as should a detail and free tank of fuel.

Anyway you'll love the car, everyone does

Heya Roy....I ordered a Jet Silver 90TSI (now Comfortline) on 31/12 too from Barloworld Glen Waverley - i almost got a car that day if it wasn't for them not having that exact spec there !! I really wanted a candy white one too, but apparently they're quite hard to get.

Did you end up buying at GW ?

I'm in the process of ordering my wife a mk6 TSI in white.

The specs decided on so far are:

DSG
16" rims (she is a ride comfort kinda gal) - the standard rims are ok, but does anyone have pics of the other factory 16" alloys (eg. Tangis) fitted to a car?
Tan leather
Sunroof
Fog Lights
RCD510 with reversing camera (does anyone know if the RCD510 has a hard drive for storing media like the RNS510 does?)

Specs to be decided:

Factory sports body kit - can anyone tell me the NSW price for this option?
Window tinting - usual cost anyone?
Media Device Interface - how useful is that? Worth $400?
Exhaust tips - are there factory ones or nice aftermarket ones?
Wood grain inserts to replace the factory inserts - anyone know any nice aftermarket options for this?

Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide.

Wouldn't bother with foglights as they are going to made illegal soon and are to be replaced with LED DRL's.

Window tinting can be had for a lot cheaper elsewhere.
Either get the Dealer to price match the cheapest aftermarket you can find or go elsewhere.

MDI is cheap as chips, not worth the $400 the dealer is after.

Wouldn't bother with exhaust tips.

Interior trim can be found oon aftermarket sites and ebay and woodgrain will not suit the golf imho.

You can probably get the MDI and tint thrown in for free ($100) if you bargain well enough.

Thanks Team_V.

I'm only new to this VW game ... what are the best aftermarket places?

Aftermarket parts/accessories
www.oemplus.com
www.ecstuning.com
www.tmtuning.com
www.orangetuning.com
www.getvwparts.com

ebay is also good as you can get parts from europe/USA a lot cheaper than here.

Aftermarket tint the best is tint-a-car from memory.
But independant tinter's can also be good, depends where you are located.

Hi BBP, welcome to the forums. I merged your thread with this one as this is where all non-GTI/R negotiations go.

There's also another thread which has a spreadsheet which when created summarised all the purchases here though I'm not sure when the spreadsheet was last updated.

Hi all, just wanted to contribute one more data point for the spreadsheet.

Just got delivery last weekend for the spouse, of a black 118TSI, DSG, Metallic, MDI, Rear Sensors for $32,250 drive away. Note we have fleet/corporate discount.
