Polo GTI Pricing and Specifications Thread

[deepdude]

Hi all,

I've just got back from test driving the new Polo GTI in Sydney (awesome), and subsequently put a deposit down to hold one that the dealership had incoming. The dealer said they had 7 on the way (5 door, without any options), and out of that 7, 3 were already sold.

I need a new car asap, and I'm not after any of the options. Ralfi's post (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f128...tml#post591682) convinced me that they're not necessary.

The dealer said if I purchased now, I'd have the car maybe mid December - which sounded great compared to some of the times you guys have been talking about, but anyway...

...the point of my post is, how much haggle room do you think there is on the price they're asking, which is:

Price: $28,990
Dealer Delivery: $2,995
CTP: $429
Stamp Duty: $960
Private Registration: $334
-------------------------
Driveaway: $33,708
-------------------------

Thanks guys!

I'd probably pay the full price before they sold it to someone else....

Dealer delivery could be worked on, they could easily round that off to 2,900 that is a saving of $95, then see if there is any Polo GTI freebies you could get e.g. polo shirt, etc.

The $2995 dealer delivery is pure profit... so hit them on that.

I just went for a test drive of a Polo GTI and thought it was great. When I came to a price there didn't seem to be any movement at all even when I mentioned corp discount. Mind you I had already got a corp discount at another dealer ($2400 less)

I would at least want the audio pack and comfort pack.

Looks like a wait then.

Apparently there is one or two on a ship with that spec coming in... talk to McGrath at Kirrawee.

There's generally very little room for price movement on the first lot to arrive, from what I understand they usually don't even give corporate discounts

Thats an outrageous Dealer Delivery Fee, you could carve $2K off that if you really tried. The trouble is first shipments are popular so they are harder to move on price. Think I will wait for the $28,990 driveaway (3-door) & $29,990 driveaway (5-door) specials that will no doubt come our way at some stage

Agreed.
Mine was $1995 and I thought that was steep.

ahhh, the old $3k carwash.
too many impatient people that have to have the latest toy. im patient andcan wait til they become more readily avail
