I'm looking to purchase a similarly specced TDI as yours, less Dynaudio Premium Audio & towbar. Colorwise, I'm looking at Candy White, or perhaps Black Oak Brown.
As for $1,500 for the towbar option ..... I understand that it's an electronically extendable/retractable towbar but value for money wise..... I'd say the jury is out on that one.
There will definitely be one hell of a grin on my face when I go to pick it up - probably so big I'll have trouble fitting my grin through the door when I get to sit in my new baby!
Because I'm a member of the Law Institute of Victoria I got a fleet discount well worth obtaining lol. Because it is fleet pricing, which is technically confidential, I won't disclose here but it made a good impact. At standard drive away, I understand it would have been in 70K region, whereas with fleet discount and my own bargaining I got somewhere in lowish 60K region - rounding to nearest 10K (sorry if that's a little to vague, but I think you get the idea without me giving anyway our trade secrets). My trade-in price was however lower than commercial price, but what with the combined discounts I still think got a fair deal.
My dealer was Massaro Volkswagen here in Gippsland, but I'd only recommend talking to Dale as one of his bosses didn't impress me at all (tried to renegotiate the deal after it was done, a big no no with me! You sign the contract, no backies after that - for either party).
My $1.5K tow bar goes well with my $500 mud flaps, but since Dale cut me some attractive numbers I wasn't going to sweat the small stuff (despite the obvious profit margin - but then he doesn't set the prices for these dealer fitted items, that from higher up).
I haven't followed up with Dale on hard delivery dates, as I figure it arrives when it arrives (until then I'm still driving my Golf TDI, which is still damn good to drive) but it was reckoned either Feb or Mar when we were doing the deal. As long as I get one, I'm happy.
White is the obvious choice in terms of value (metallic paint certainly doesn't cost the list price), but I like blue hence Night Blue for me, and I didn't want to have a hard time trying to find it in the car park (given White is the fleet car colour of choice). The Black Oak Brown would be better at hiding light dirt, but its such a personal choice that there is no better judge than yourself (just be happy with whatever you select, because you're stuck with it lol - my reason for going the Dynaudio despite my questionable hearing!).
2013 CC 130TDI Night Blue Metallic with Driver Assistance Package, Park Assist 2, Walnut Trim and Ambient Lighting, Front Active Climate Control Seats, Towbar, and Dynaudio Premium Audio.
