Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

$48k seems too cheap, did you get any corp discount?

The dealer here in Melbourne has a standard DSG GTI for $48k, driver's assistance is at least another $1300, Xenons another $2100. Tints anywhere from $200-600 but if it's a dealer tint I can't imagine it being cheap.

Yes we did get corp, but you can believe whatever you want. This will be the 4th vehicle we have bought from them.

And Wippells VW are very good to deal with. And their dealer delivery charge is a lot less than other dealers around the place. Norris VW in Brisbane where I got my Golf charge $2995 dealer delivery but when I was checking out pricing at Wippells they were only charging $2350. They genuinely do want to do a deal and satisfy loyal customers.

Is the engine note really THAT uninspiring that you need to have an app for that?

Thanks Brendan

Cars going great thank you, nearly over the 1K mark in just over a week.

Taking up the coast tomorrow so get a little bit of nice highway driving in.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

That's good to hear. Enjoy your drive up the coast in it over the week end.

Sorry if I sounded accusatory, wasn't my intention, was just curious about how you got your pricing. Now that you mentioned the discount/long relationship, it makes more sense. Great price IMO! I guess it pays to have a good relationship with a dealer/salesperson.

I wonder how much profit they make considering they can cut it down by so much.

It's alright mate. Yes they gave us an awesome price, which is why they got another sale

Not sure how much profit, but they wouldn't sell it at a loss?

I now have a very impressive red DSG GTI. Felt bad farewelling GTD as it is indeed a very good car. GTI feels like it's going to be fun and I'm sure I will soon get over the shock of the obscene amount of dosh that I handed over.
Strange that in all of the swatting I've been doing on the Mk 7, I have not seen anywhere the quite significant difference between the door size of the 7 vs the 6. The Mk 7 is far easier to get in and out of than the Mk 6. This is good for those of us with ageing bodies and weakening muscles!
