Mk6 GTI sticker shock

[ricksterrr]

The previous model 5 door was 40k inc GST and the 3 door was 38.5k inc GST. I think dsg was a 2k option wasnt it? so that would be 42k inc GST for a 4 door DSG plus onroads. The price above seems to indicate 43k ex GST

Actually the prices are the same as the Mk5 if they turn out to be accurate. Considering that the early Australian reviews of the Mk6 were expecting a $1-2k price increase over the Mk5 RRP, it's good news (thanks to the strength of the Aussie dollar lately I guess).

Of course there may be a chance that the dealership was just guesstimating what the prices will be based on the current Mk5 RRP.

But yes, picking options will inflate the price very quickly.

My point was that those mkv prices were INCLUDING GST. Whereas with this quote GST has been added on top of the price. Im hoping its just an error.

I thought the mk6 were meant to be cheaper to build but obviously vw thought 'F it' an charge more anyway. The interior doesn't seem as good from what I've seen.

The Vehicle price in the first post is 39081.82.

Plus 10% GST = $42,990.

And as per the original posters later comment, this was supposed to be for a DSG model.

I think the point was the margins on the mkV weren't great/sustainable, so bringing in the mkVI with cheaper production cost was always about improved margins, not decreased price.

I haven't seen a mk6 GTI but for the other models the interior is one of the key areas that has been improved. Certainly compared to my MkV Jetta the MkVI is a step up for interior quality.

the standard mk6 build quality is impressive. certainly quieter and more solid than when i bought the mk5 gti new. my mk4 had better build quality than the mk5!

think this is where the 3dr mk5 owners are lucky having german builds. if someone asked me...he's a mk6 gti built in saffas or you can have this one built in deutschland for an extra $2k...i would go the latter.

i can't see the mk6 gti having as much hype and demand as the mk5 did, and not everyone who owns a mk5 gti is going to be in a position to switch over. the fragile economy and uncertainties in job security would have some effect on buying process.

plus given the impending golf R...no doubt it will attract a fair amount of existing mkV GTI owners to hang onto their rides and wait for its release... i speak on behalf of myself and 3 other mates (who aren't even forum members).

doh! If only I could read

Anyone know how much it'll be for the following car (with "corporate" discount if they will do it on the Mk VI):

Mk VI Golf GTI
2 door
Manual
Leather
18" wheels

Just tossing up between this car and a Mk V GTI Pirelli, 2 door.

Either car would most likely end up being chipped.

Also considering a brand new MY09 R32. The engine and exhaust notes are absolutely delicious and can't be compared to much else.

You would be better off asking a dealer that. Ask a few of them, and see who offers a better deal.

presented without comment except for .. thanks for the floor mats and fuel guys ..

So I've gone over this with a fine-tooth-comb, and as others have noted these prices are without GST (until the end), but no-one has so far spotted the two mistakes which ARE in this pricelist.

According to the last pricelist which I saw for the MK6 Golf on the VW website before they removed the PDF's, the Rear View Camera was a $500 option with the RNS510, not $700 as would be indicated in your price list (e.g. $636.36 plus GST). It's possible this may have gone up $200 since April, but I wouldn't know why.

Also, obtaining the Dynaudio 300W system in combination with the RNS510 was only an extra $1000, and not the $1800 indicated in your price list (e.g. $1636.36 plus GST). In was only $1800 when upgrading from the standard RCD310 to the Dynaudio as it required upgrading to the RCD510.

In addition, a Dealer Delivery of $3000 is a bit rich.... I've seen that slashed to $1000 - $1500 (and even waved completely) in many cases.

I hope you hadn't committed to the total figure of $65,379.50 yet!


Edit: For all you guys who were wondering.... the $1000 in over quoted options actually has a $1366.33 effect on the final price after all the taxes and duties. If you were able to get the dealer to reduce the dealer delivery from the $2995 to $1000, then that additional $1995 off the price would actually bring another $2723.17 in savings. Those two things would give a final price of $61290 - or $4089.50 cheaper!
