mk6 dealer negotiations

[tdi guy]

It's at least $2,500 off the mark for a discerning corporate buyer such as yourself.

... though it would be a done deal if the leasing company passed on the 30% investment allowance!

G'day

I just bought a Mk VI Golf on Saturday from Austral VW at Newstead in Brisbane. It was for my wife so it is only a 90TSI Trendline. Candy White. Only accessories were mats front and back and rubber boot tray.

Drive away RRP was $30,574. I got him down to $26,178 drive away.

Based on the car and options / accessories you are looking at, I would be hitting the dealer up for way more than $3,000 discount.

I got nearly 15% off pretty easily so I think they have a bit of play at the moment - why not try the same...that's around $6,750 off as a first offer.

You did well getting over $4k off a $30k car. At the same rate our friend should be getting $6k off. I don't know if factory options have more dealer margin than the car itself, but I imagine dealer fitted options and accessories would, so provide more room for the dealer to move.

Went to the dealer in Brisbane over weekend, no luck on the 15% off. The dealer actually quoted me more on the price of 118 TSI DSG after I spoke in person last time with fleet discount. Wouldn't go below $34,945 whereas the fleet was $33,500. Waste of a Saturday!! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Will not be going to see that dealer again!...

Got the build week on mine tonight. Week 25 (17th June)

6 or seven weeks after that to ship and prep at the dealer. So by mid August I should have it

I ordered last week in March so about 15 weeks all up.

Might even get some use out of the heated seats too, as it'll still be winter...ish

from all the prices I've seen, 10-12% discount on drive away seems to be about right. Any more than that and i reckon you're getting a pretty good deal. I'm in the middle of negotiations at the moment, will keep you guys updated.
