Quick question. Are manual GTI's selling at a premium at the moment down here in Melbourne?
I was offered a GTI (white, manual) on Friday for $46,628
Given that according to the VW website the RRP for this car is $41,990 was the salesman trying me on or are on-road costs more than I think?
On roads are more than you think I suspect - same car in SA clocks in at $46,393 in manual guise and no options.
Keep in mind discounts can be had, so shop around, and don't be afraid to look interstate if need be.
A minor smell after today's VWW cruise but nothing significant, almost 600km now.Quote:

The GTI PP Price Vs the Golf R price(no options in both cars) to me,seems too close and if I could stretch it,I would definitely go for the Golf R.
Wow, so it does seem that GTI cars are selling above RRP.
I'm in the wrong business :P

If these are the deals being presented to you then let me organise one at less than rrp and I'll take my cut from the additional savings. :)
A drive away price consist of car's price (MRP) + ORC + dealer delivery.Quote:

So yes, it adds up when you put those on top of MRP, but hopefully with some negotiations, you can bring it down a with thousand dollars.
Circumstances at the moment have prevented me from initiating negotiations much less taking a test drive of the GTI or the Golf R but there would be NO WAY I would pay the listed driveaway prices for either car!
Towards the end of June I will be in a position to take a trip down to my local dealer and I'll see what transpires in price,most likely for a Golf R.
