Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[Roddy]

I'm in a similar boat. I'm going in tomorrow to put a deposit (subject to pricing) on a 7.5 R Wolfsburg. They said they don't have pricing yet for the R or Wolfsburg and expect to get stock in October.

Aren't prices here as announced May 5, except for Wolfsburg?

It's more the Wolfsburg pricing I'm waiting on.

[Mr T.]

I agree that paying $60k+ puts it similar pricing to m140i and S3.

Just for reference leasing company priced S3 sedan, M140i and MK7R for us and both the BMW and Audi were 57k and MK7R was 54. ($33 a f/t) more for Audi sedan so we went that way.

So both Audi and BMW had almost 25% off RRP compared to about 10% by VW.

I think if you want better prices with the 7.5 need to wait until they're been out few months. I went through it in 2014. When MK7R released, they Wouldn't do corporate or much discount but after 3 months they would and I got 10% off.

Thanks for the advice. I may wait and keep looking.

Are you definitely set on buying a Mk7.5 R? Would you consider a Mk7?

I'm set on the 7.5.

What are the differences between the standard and the Wolfsburg?

Wonder how much price increase it would be. Pushing up to 70 is a lot for a Golf

Yeah totally agree, as with the others talking about it earlier, pushing up to 70 and it doesn't look worthwhile at all, would consider other cars once you get to that kind of range! Did you end up getting a quote/depositing on the 7.5 R?

I deposited a while back pending pricing. Dealer came back with a 61700 quote, for standard R with sunroof and driver assist. Still think it's very high so getting deposit returned and will be happy to wait until the heat comes down. Though that Wolfsburg sounds good but as you said the price opens up other possibilities.
