mk6 dealer negotiations

[GolfAtom]

Also can anyone tell me why in the owners manual there are so may features that the Australian cars dont have? ie digital radio station presets, draws under the front seats, adaptive cruise control...the list goes on. Thanks

Car manufacturers add or deduct certain features so that the car fits into the particular price category they want that car to be sold in.

sounds like a good deal Rufus & fantastic choice & plenty of happy days motoring now for you, so much better than the plastic jap crap can you tell me if it was 12% of retail or 12% of corporate price? dealer told myself i need 5 cars on fleet to get corporate rate discount i"m also unsure how they can valadate how many cars are on my fleet? or if they just go on what you tell them.

Actually im not sure if it comes under coporate discount to be honest. Im a member of the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) so i just need to present my membership to them and i get a certain percentage discount. Although i'm not exactly sure how much this discount equated to, 6 to 8% I think. Every dealer told me something different so who knows? I still had to bargain my ass offf to get 12% off though. Best of luck

Thanks Rufus , i have HIA membership i wonder if that will provide for a further discount? also would you recomemend youre dealer? i find it consuming dealing it out with these dealers so far.

[Rufus]

To be honest i did not enjoy the whole buying a car experience. Too much deception and stress to it all.
Yes I can definately recommend my dealer! He was the only one who didn't feed me bull**** the whole time. He was on the level and upfront and this was the reason I kept returning to him after I had spoken to several other dealerships. His name is Dale from the Ferntreegully dealership on burwood highway. I'll send you his contact details if you like?

[beachvw]

Have to agree with you Rufus on the whole negotiation process would apreaciate if you email me the details & i will call on them tommorow monday.Just really cant afford to pay thousands over the odds on truely a great car.Who knows they even might get more buisiness if they do the right thing.

Hi Guys, I'm new here and I am thinking about getting a MK6 GTI ( as I mentioned in my first post in the newbie section).

Anyway, I had an idea, not sure if its a good one or not but do you think if a bunch of us potential buyers went into a dealership together and were willing to all buy that day we could negotiate a better price? Kinda like a rather expensive group buy?
