Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Lock & Load]

So you guys believe that the dealers dont have a profit margin built in to every sale made , mate worked for vw he told me the margins made on used as well as new cars Sold

How can you screw the dealer? They won't sell you a car at a loss.

I dont expect them to sell at a loss however get a few thousand $$$ off the recommended list price .

I think it comes down to if they've met their monthly sales target or not, and sales being down compared to previous years could work in your favour as well.

Good luck in your negotiations on a new Golf.

Stamp Duty -$2037

My calculator adds those figures up to $66220

That said I also spoke to an Audi salesman in Geelong the other day who also said the S3 would start from 70k on road.
He also mentioned that the Audi Connect service (for Google Earth maps, etc as part of the Technology pack) would be arriving sometime next year as a paid subscription service so that would also be worth waiting for if you're into that sort of thing.

If that's starting to get too expensive the 1.8T Quattro A3 is also a compelling option. Starts at 50k, uses the wet clutch DSG6 instead of 7spd, has AWD, and you can spec a bunch of options.

Also while the S3 fuel rates promoted are fantastic, it's also worth noting many in the UK who've taken delivery are reporting around 25mpg when driving fast'n'furiously compared to the ~42mpg they get cruising on the motorway.

.

That figure of approx $66k drive away sounds correct for a base S3, as that was the drive away price on the list given to me from Audi Center Canberra.

[Ryan_R]

Maybe Audi salespeople are used to rounding up to the nearest $10k

Ryan R .

The above figure did not show Sunroof $1950
Metalic paint $ 1050..... in the non performance pack .

Oh well they knocked back a cash offer of $68,000 on the Audi S3 with the performance pack and sunroof with metalic paint salesman said it would have to have a 7 as starting price .

Price they want is $74,210
