Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[nat225]

I dont see enough Golf R specific discussions in the last few posts.... the engine must be super special in the VAG cars family to warrant the above posts in this Golf R specific thread..

Hey guys!

Massively informative thread with so many topics covered. Great stuff!

I am hopefully going to be in the market for a new R pretty soon and want to know what you all seem to think is a good deal for an R with DSG and leather?

Who's gotten the best deal for such a car and where from? I'm in Sydney and any advice is appreciated!

Thanks

Hey mate, can't go wrong with the car.

I got mine with dsg, leather and drive assist package with 5 year warranty and wheel And tyre package for 57500 drive away

If you look in the post for people who have ordered and received mk7 golf there will be more posts there about prices and insurance etc

Wasn't this a demo, and an amazing price even so? This will distort any realistic outcomes, which are dependent on whether a corporate discount is applicable, any existing relationship with dealer exists and varying state ORC's.

Yeah mate was a demo had a little over 1000 kms on it but ended up being 10k cheaper with all options and warranty on it. If you go on carsales there are heaps of demos with less than 500kms on them that are heavily discounted and should be able to get the extra warranty for free

Hainsey, that's a ridiculously good price. Admittedly, I didn't do any shopping around, but the price I got for a new car was $57,500 for white, dsg, leather, tint.

Yeah I was playing 3 dealerships off against eachother in Sydney, Brisbane and townsville and Brisbane was the best and was the better colour IMO, it got to the point where they started to throw extras in.
I figured if I saved some on a demo I didn't really care if it was 2014 build or not, turned out It is apr2014 build so was a really good deal in the grand scheme of things

Also helps if you have a big deposit, I had 25k once I sold the old car and my savings, dealers love getting cash in hand

Thanks guys.

I guess I'm open to a demo as well if the price is right.

Matty that seems like an unreal deal!

Did you place an order and have to wait for that car - or was it on its way already?

[hainsey]

Definitely look at a demo man, all I would say is, make sure they throw in the extra 48month warranty for free for peace of mind

There where so many on carsales 2 weeks ago you could pretty much pick your options and colour and get a good deal
