The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[Rob_R]

Hey Rob_R, I'm in North Melbs. Yea it's getting pretty close now, just saw the boat pulling out of Fremantle harbour on its way to Melb. It should dock in 4 days!! It's actually creeping up faster than I anticipated. Still yet to sell my other car, arrange finance, book in the venturesheild ect.

I hope the time goes quickly for you. I don't know what I would have done without these forums to keep me enthused. The wait times appear to me to be a total luck of the draw thing. My uneducated guess is it just depends on what you order (colour, transmission ect.) and VW slides you in wherever they do a batch of cars matching your spec.

Well believe it or not Jan to now has just flown by in a blink of an eye. I think the last few weeks is where I'll have to try and hold my nerve. I'm looking forward to meeting up with fellow melbourne dubbers when I get mine. And yes being on this forum does help while waiting.

Dear Gti Owners/enthusiasts,

I have been in the market for a while now and have received several quotes from different dealers.
The best price i have been quoted so far is $53,670 (Drive away), includes the following:
-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!

hi guys, i've had a MKIV GTi for a while now and am looking to trading up for a MKVI GTi/R and was wondering the options you would suggest some other cars i was looking at was the skoda Octavia or megane rs 250, some suggestions would be nice, cheers.

[SChan]

Thanks Mate, I will think about it! Appreciate your suggestion. Cheers,

01mKIV,

I test drove Gti & RS 250. Two different cars!
In my opinion, RS 250 is a complete sports car, very powerful, fast, amazing pick up but small and interior is not very nice!

On the other hand, Gti is a great everyday car. It has less power compared to RS250, goes really well, handles well etc etc...

If i were you i would go for either gti or R. (Probably R)

Depends on what you want and your requirements and ofcourse pocket!

Cheers,

thanks Schan, but a couple of my friends have owned rs 182 clios, with a surprisingly low amount of rattles and rather nice interiors.

I'm yet to test drive the RS250.
I have read reviews on the gti that say it's dull & understeery, and when i drove it felt less involving and more dull than my mkIV, but the build quality is on par with my mkIV and has much power with which to keep up with knobs in M3s
