India is taking a lot of them. There are HEAPS of base model Polo's there and I mean A LOT.
Agree with Frostee on the limited supply keeping pricing at or very near list price. But I don't think China is stealing RHD or other capacity. The RHD UK is a big market segment for VW and we benefit from that. I think VW has chosen to limit supply to AUS to keep prices high. VW is a premium product here - not so in the UK. VW AUDI have done some great differentiated market positioning to keep us keen. Look at UK or USA pricing and you will see we pay more. They will say we have different configurations and local considerations, but after all the waffle...you still pay more than a dubber else where.
Why flood the market and compete on price with the Korean stuff. When you can market to people and convince them that the brand means more than the function ?
Keeping supply lean keeps us keen.

Try having a look at the dealers in Wagga Wagga and in the Barossa.
I live in Sydney and after getting screwed by a dealer here i bought mine from Tamworth and had it at my front door within the week. Wagga and Barossa were the only people with stock.
yeah as previously mentioned defiantly call regional dealers, they sometime don't even list on carsales etc etc, apparently every dealer gets at least one allocation. I myself could not located a GTI anywhere but Horsham which was a 4 hour drive from Melb. I think they mentioned getting another in early April?
They wont do any deals because they know that there is zero supply and a high demand, so people are willing to pay top dollar for the cars.

When I was in south yarra 3weeks ago there was a red 3 dr manual on the showroom floor, did not ask if it was for sale though, and not sure if it is still there.
Yeah, read the unwritten disclaimer from all dealers, "we can't actually sell this one until we get the go-ahead from VGA, but you're welcome to come and take a test drive and place an order for a new one at that price, due in june next year...."
Random pic of teh outlander is probably in there to say "yeah, we have this outlander oyu can have instead...."
