Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Ohmang]

No mate rubbish offer. I walked off the street to a dealer here in QLD and the price was $58k with leather. I'm looking to get one for $55k with leather n sunroof

Yeh - I think I could have pushed 54k for no options with corp. MIght drop in again and see. I'm seeing another dealership tomorrow so I'll see what happens then...

I'm 6'7" and have no problems with the sunroof, even have clearance in the back seat and the roof line is lower there !!!

Is the robina dealership doing decent deals on the R? I found all QLD dealers **** last time round and I ended up buying a R from Melbourne- fully optioned R for $55k .. All QLD dealers were low $60s..

Call them and ask for Michael Goldsworthy. You will be very pleasantly surprised.

You'll struggle with that as the dealer makes a loss at that price and will therefore choose to sell to someone else at a higher price.

I have seen their costings sheet for the new R (dealer gross margin, holdback etc), there is no way they would sell a dsg / leather / sunroof (normal driveaway without haggling of $65k+) down to $55k, unless the buyer is happy to wait for 3 years! (near new used, ex demo, etc).

just asking what did you do about that little windows near the mirrors when the put the tints, has some one manage to do it? is a very narrow place to put the tint on

I've calculated one drive away at around $61k drive away. I Havnt included dealer delivery though as I'm not sure if this is included in the car price?

I bought my golf r from denlo vw in parramatta for $55k - 5 dr manual, ACC, leather with 19s.

Audi s3- fully optioned rrp $75k roughly... I have an offer on the table of $67k drive away...

The new S3 is an amazing machine and in my opinion ****s all over the R. It's no way I would be paying anywhere near $60k for a R as I would pay the bit extra get a S3

u did not mention 'manual' mk7 R, hence i assumed you were aiming for $55k for 'dsg' / leather / sunroof including gst, ctp, rego & dealer delivery; which i would say 'Good luck'

there is no manual yet!

depending on when u bought your mk 6 R and many other business decision factors (by the dealership) plus when there is factory bonuses involved the discount can be extremely good.

No tint on mine - the rest of the car is done. I looked just now and the access is too small even for a small hand to get in and do properly.

I read somewhere the glass can be removed, tint applied and then reinstalled. Some may think this is an invasive process, but I guess you need to find an installer who has already done a few, and is confident in doing yours without damaging any trim and window seals. I have also read some owners don't bother, but I think it would look incomplete if all the other side windows were tinted.
