How much did you pay for that spec if you don't mind me asking?

How much did you pay for that spec if you don't mind me asking?

Paid just over $61700 ex GST as it's a novated lease and with the VW Corporate Plus Discounting (which is about $2.5-3K and $695 dealer delivery)

Hey Halojump,

Well done. That's a great price. Congrats. Does that include servicing / fuel ? Did you try the 6sp manual ? If so how would you compare it to the DSG ? Can i also ask which dealership you went with ?

[Corey_R]

Keep in mind that the price quoted as excluding GST and after VW Corporate Discount.
I calculate that there is in fact no discount applied apart from the Corporate Plus. It just looks great because of the removal of GST. Which is fine because the car was purchased on a novated lease. But it can't really be compared to any other price posted on the R thus far on these forums.

Yep, that's right, there's not much discount to be had on the R.

The Novated Lease gets the vehicle ex GST, but you need to factor in the GST at the end (based on the sale price). No servicing or anything included in that price. But the novated lease packages fuel, servicing, tyres etc. all ex GST and paid in pre-tax dollars. Its a good way to buy if it works in your favour. For me it drops me out of the top tax bracket and saves me a fair amount in tax. The downside is that you have a minimum amount of kilometres to achieve from March to March each year (in my case 25001).

Sorry should have been clearer in my early Sunday morning post ....

The corporate plus gets a $2850 discount and reduced dealer delivery of $695 (instead of the ~$1300).

ya, that is a real good deal man. my novated lease company wouldn`t let me lease a GTI with similar options on it...said there were too many options on it, above their allowed threshold...which I thought was complete BS

really nice to have it all packaged up into one price!

See my subsequent post re price clarification. Only drove the DSG as that was what I wanted all along. Drove an S3 Manual though, preferred the Golf DSG.

Went with Austral in Brisbane, I bought my wife's Mark V Comfortline (the wheezy 1.6) there in 2008 and have also had Landrovers, Hondas and a Volvo though them. They seem as good as anyone else...they are after all car sales-people. I did give up going to them for service though as they were very expensive I found.
