How much did you pay? ..... and PICS!!

I don't know whether this will make you feel better or worse, but I got similar pricing to you. I just ordered mine as well, Candy White, Leather, Sunroof, No extras. Paying $32000 OTR less my trade in. Now if you think about that price, and the quoted RRP's $26990 + $2490 (hide) + $1490 (roof) = $30970. So that means I paid $1030 for Rego/CTP/StampDuty + Dealer Charges.

I think I got a reasonable deal. Some of you probably have done better, and good on you for that . I'm not the best at bargaining and haggling

, so I'm quite happy what I paid. I guess the order is down already, no point thinking about it. Just enjoy it when it gets here.

Cygnus that's a great deal, I paid bout $300 more then you in April 06 but didn't ask for Sunroof.

PoloPlayer, is your car 06 or 07? The thing I don't like bout the deal they've done for you is making out they gave you a massive saving on plates, fuel and mats. Pretty sure I've read that all new cars must come with a full tank of fuel, as Mitch said the Polo comes with front & rear floor mats, and the slimline plates is the norm anyway.

My point is if you've got an 07 car then the price is pretty good. If you got an 06 car then you have been shafted.

Hi5 on the purchase Cygnus! How long till you get the leather? I was told that it would take months to get one in for me. At the moment I'm just trying to clarify the 27k drive away deal to see what happened with it.

Well, I called up the dealer today, and they said it's about to start to get assembled or something, didn't get a full understanding of what's going on, but I think it's something like 6-8 weeks until it will be ready to be shipped, then another 6-8 weeks of shipping/compliancing/delivery, looking at July/August at the moment

When it's built, ask for the VIN. You can track the car using the shipping company website.

As far as I know, the $26,990 offer ended sometime Late January/Early Feburary - and applied only to existing '06 Complianced stock already sitting in dealer yards, which could also mean that you may not have been able to get the colour you wanted.

VW hasn't screwed anyone - not even the early adopters. Heavy discounts on runout stock is standard trade practice across the industry. You buy '06 stock, even in '07 and you get '06 depreciation.
