MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

What did you end up signing at?
PM please if you don’t want Public sharing

I would be interested in finding out too.

We're going for another test drive on Monday of the RLine (just want to confirm that we like it) but over the phone the salesman has said to expect a premium of around $1k for the Wolfsburg. But then he prefaced my request for another test drive by saying "If you're going to buy a $65k car ..." so it would be good to have some sense of how realistic their price is. When I check the VW website it suggest the drive-away price for a RLine with DAP (no sunroof) is $59,400.

$55490 - RRP
$2700 - VW 2 year Warranty extension
$3990 - Dealer Delivery
$2600 - Stamp Duty
$990 - Rego

$65770 ( From Dealer 1 )

I went through another dealer and got the car for less than this with the sunroof which is $2000

So so what did you end up paying?
wolfsburg with sunroof I’ve been quoted $62,400. So that’s less than your figure but also not a great price

I was also quoted $62,400 driveaway with the sunroof option. Still waiting on 2 other dealers to get back to me with a quote but not expecting much difference in price.

If anyone does any better please let me know!

I got $61,000 with no sunroof but with boot liner. It’s not far from what you guys got.

Same price me - boot liner and rear bumper load protector. I am sure with plenty lining up it won't be easy to do a lot better in the near future.

The truth is there is only 500 in the first batch delivered in 2018. There will be more shipped in 2019.

Is this confirmed? I was told they are “Limited” model so not making more when they’re gone. I wonder how limited they actually are.

Guys...fwiw this has been my experience...

When i tried to negotiate months before the car being released...i always felt like dealers had the upper hand...they played on my “want to have that car” feeling and were quite confident in saying...nope not a single $ off retail for example..same bs...we have limited cars and we can/will sell them at full price....

As the car got nearer and nearer...i could sense a bit of give all of a sudden...especially as soon as you start getting fleet companies involved....

Dealers know that people coming into the dealership now are already convinced on buying the car...its just a matter of getting as much money from you as possible...

My recommendation put down a deposit “subject to final price” and then as the date comes closer negotiate hard...it worked for me

Jusy my 2 cents sharing my experience..

Thanks for the heads-up - I sort of assumed this would be the case, but I'm a bad negotiator (that's why I bring my wife along!).

I'm going to try to use the connection with the dealer (last two cars bought there, my son works for them). If that doesn't work, I will also use my father-in-law's broker - normally, he gets Mercedes and Lexus but I assume his broker would stoop to dealing with VW.

Got this from a source, not where I purchased the car but a dealer.
Last paragraph explains there will be another batch next year.
