Speak to Deb Shawyer at Southern Volkswagen here in Adelaide, I've bought a Mk7 R and a Touareg from her and she's been great to deal with. Tell her I've (Aaron Semler) sent you. Hopefully she'll come to the party straight off the bat.

And yes +2 on the opti-coat! Well worth it. You could get Hamish at Elite Finish here to do it before you take delivery of it.

Hey mate, im from Darwin also with one of the two lapiz blue up here. They have a couple on the floor currently and i believe there is a 'stock price+ $1' sale happening this weekend on all new cars. If you go in there and talk to the sales manager he is a really good bloke(think its mitch or ben,cant remember without finding his business card) and tell him your my friend (Daniel) and that should put you on a good starting point.
Also i have a VCDS cable so if you need anything done at anytime let me know and I can help you out.

Thanks Daniel, I've seen your car around and know of you via Matt (Lexus).
Didn't realise there were some in stock up here -- generally find after a lifetime in Darwin the dealers are painful to deal with.

Have an offer from interstate now for $53,000 excluding stamp duty and rego for a demo with 700km, dsg, driver assist package and leather. That's delivered to Darwin (so about $2000 of that price is probably transport).

Thoughts?

I would go to them with that deal and see what they can do as they want to get rid of there stock as they have been there a while before the my16's come in. I highly doubt they would be able to beat your offer but if you don't ask then you will never know.
Last time i was there 3/4 weeks ago they had a lapiz blue out in the car lot(you can see it when you drive past) and a silver/white one in the showroom.
Also the manager is micheal. Young bloke who sits behind the 2 other salesman.
Good to have another mk7 R up here. Soon there will be enough up here for a little get together.

USP 3" Stainless Steel Downpipe: MK7 Golf R, S3, A3 Quattro (Catted) - USP-MQBQ-CAT

Latest downpipe released. Cheapest on market so far roughly $1k delivered. Has nice video attached showing stock vs DP in number of driving conditions. Can't believe how much better it sounds just with DP!
