2010 Polo Drive Away Prices. Share what you ended up paying.

$24000 drive away for pepper grey (metallic), comfort pack, DSG (auto), 77TSI Comfortline with floor mats front and back.

But there's a little more to the price than just that. My fiance's cousin had bartered for a golf the week before for his mother, was bartering for our car and had promised to buy another golf for himself in a month's time all through the same guy at South Yarra VW in Melbourne, that probably helped.

(For potential buyers with an iphone I'd recommend against the audio pack as I added a cradle to the right of the steering wheel, put in an xcarlink myself and can now charge, play music, take calls (through speaker phone) and use my iphone4 as a navi. Better than having it in the glove box. All I had to do was call up the dealership to get the radio unlock code once I plugged it all back in.)

$31700 for a Red 5 dr Polo GTI (no options) with delivery in late Feb.
Fleet discount was $600 but I have a window of a few days to get our corporate rate (current VW OEM supplier) applied, which should knock a few $100 more off the price.

Seeing the dramas people are having with waits, I'm happy to have a car in my hands within the next month and live without the minor convenience offered with the comfort pack, which was the only factory option I was after.

Gee that's a great price. I am getting excited about picking my car up on Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

What Cradle did you get for your iphone as I am going to do the same?

I have been told it is due to parts shortage. Not sure if that is legit.

This is a bummer for the buyer and dealer as well, you would think. But apparently, the dealer is making the best of situation by signing up as many buyers that they can. They know that some buyers would cancel but they are not worried because they can sell the in-transit order to another buyer quite easily and probably at higher price.

I ended up getting this cradle:
Griffin Technology: WindowSeat HandsFree - Windshield or dash mount with hands-free mic

I was one of the few that would fit a charger cable and I think it looks pretty good compared to some of the others I've seen. It can stick on your dash too if you remove the arm.

If you're going to go for the xcarlink, I'd recommend ebay, but confirm it's the model that charges the iphone4 as well as plays the music etc. The aussie xcarlink site didn't work when I went to buy it from there but it looks like an older model anyway. There are versions with and without the blue tooth adapter plug, so watch out for that if you might want blue tooth later.
