-18 Inch Alloy Wheels (Detroit)
-Adaptive Damping Control
-Leather Upholstery
-Metallic Paint
-Power Sunroof
-Premium Sound System
-Xenon Headlights
-MDI
-Full tank of fuel
-Dealer delivery
-Tinted Windows

Can anyone please comment on the pricing? Is it a good price with the options above?

Would appreciate any suggestion!

Cheers,
I'll give you my suggestion, slap another $5K on the table, and get an R.

(Metallic paint, Xenons, 18s are all standard on the R).

Then at resale time, you'll have an R not a GTI worth $9.5K less .

Im only suggesting it cause you are going all out on a GTI, you really might as well get an R.

A DSG R with;
-ACC
-Leather
-Dynaudio
-Sunroof
-MDI

Could be had for $58K. Then you can be safer in the wet and have the nicer car. Win win.

The full tank of is petrol is normally included everywhere for all types of car. The tints cost about $200 so do it elsewhere if its not negotiated that way.

Best advice I can give you.

Good luck!
