Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[Storm Trooper]

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

I also thought the additional $500 price tag was a little suspicious.

As for the vehicle price, it's probably got something to do with the area I'm in, and I tried 5 different dealerships, all offering a similar price bracket for the car (around $67k) give or take $300-$400. I even attempted walking away from the deal multiple times but that didn't seem to change their minds unfortunately due to it being the limited edition. All of their dealer deliveries were around $3.4k which I thought was ridiculous but I bit the bullet and made the purchase because I didn't want to miss out on the Wolfy, especially since it was already August.

One dealership tried quoting me $68.5k because he added the Driver Assistance Package on top of the Wolfsburg. I don't think he realised that I did a mountain of research beforehand so he played the wrong person...

Thanks again for the responses!

If it makes you feel better, I paid $69k for wagon with roof. My original dealer ****ed me over, and when I finally found a car from another dealer that I could get before end of year, I had zero leverage. But I wanted the wolfie and I wanted it this year.

Well, after waiting for over 40 minutes at my local VW dealer I still don't know what the part # is.
It seems that when they look it up on their computer system it simply doesn't show any Wolfsburg badge at all.
And yes, my car does have one, and this is the dealer that sold it to me 18 days ago.
They have told me that they will ask "VW assistance" (whatever that is) for help & advice, and get back to me.
I'll let you know whatever and whenever they get back to me.

I would be quite annoyed if my Wolfsburg badge got stolen, and if VW c/wouldn't sell me a replacement badge then I would be pointing out to them rather firmly that in Australia manufacturers and importers are required by law (ACCC) to provide spare parts for a reasonable time.

We shall see what happens.....

*Curious*

Any luck finding the part number ?

Not yet, but the VW parts person from my dealer did send an email to tell me she was waiting on a response from VW Oz.
