2015 Polo GTI, what are you paying?

[Mi16 Man]

Yep, you paid too much.

I picked one up for $29k drive away

Yeah, but yours is poverty spec. I've ticked a few options.

As they say, 'pics or it didn't happen'!

I wasn't sure, as it all happened unexpectedly. We went to the dealer to buy a Mk7 Golf R for a friend, and the wife liked the look of the Polo GTI, and since we were already buying one car (friend) on the day, they said they would do a ripper deal on a Polo GTI, fully loaded.

What did you pay?

Today i tried to negotiate a deal on a Manual GTI in white no options. North Shore VW are offering a sale at the moment which is first 3 years of servicing FREE.

I offered $29900. Best they could do is $30 985 including the first 3 years of servicing for free....they wouldn't budge, they even let me walk out the door after I offered $30 500!

Would like to know peoples opinion? Should i go back and buy it or can i do better!!! : )

Nothing is free so they have incorporated the cost of servicing in the price.

Is it a dealership that you would normally use for servicing?

I wouldn't go back as they'll know tey have you hooked - wait for the call. Plenty of other dealers to get a price from - you don't have to get service or warranty from the dealer you buy from.

I have never owned a VW. The dealer is close to me so would be convenient to use them. I have to use them to get the 3 years of servicing.

Sound like a reasonable price? I was surprised they wouldn't budge over $500! Guess being such a new car they know they will get someone else if i don't go ahead

patience grasshopper. It's not the end of the month yet.

If you could buy elsewhere for $1k less then the free servicing would be irrelevant. I'm not sure why everyone gets a hard-on for having an apprentice work on their car. Dealerships suck.

Shop around - the dealer knows you are desperate to buy

Thanks for the advice.

I just want to buy sooner than later as my current car is due for rego in 2 months and want to palm that off asap.

Might have to be flexible on colours if i can't find a white one

Like you I am busting to buy a new Polo Gti or if the budget can stretch...to a Golf Gti (+10k!). My partner says that I have to wait till October so I am trying really hard to be patient. Just had to renew rego as well as an impending service in a couple of weeks so have no choice but to wait

Not sure what people's financials are yet at the end of the day a $1000-$3000 isn't that much cash. Not like when buying $80,000 car you can get $10,000 -$15,000. That's a large couch of change for almost all middle class people.

It GTI seems well priced if paying retail or getting a few thousand off.

You know you can use any dealer for repairs and servicing right? But it depends who is offering to pay for your free service, the dealer or VW Australia.

Our Polo comfort line was bought 75km form where I live and we have a dealer 3km away. They didn't budge on price. But I'll still service it there (but no free servicing for me).
