Fleet pricing on 130TDi Passat or Alltrack

**Croozer** · 06-01-2014, 09:14 AM

I'm looking at purchasing either a new 130TDi Highline wagon or an Alltrack

using fleet pricing through my employer. I'm in the process of getting quotes for both vehicles from various dealers but I'd be very appreciative if anyone were able to provide their recent final quoted fleet price for either vehicle. If you'd rather not display it publicly then feel free to PM me. I'm temporarily working in Darwin and my experience here with the sole dealer is they will not budge even a dollar in any attempt to be competitive. I've already purchased a VW from them and the sales rep freely admitted that they didn't need to be competitive as, well, the nearest VW dealership is 1,500kms away! Due to their poor after sales service I've experienced and perceived arrogance at being the sole dealer, I won't return there and will look interstate. That said, if there are any dealers here from anywhere in the country, please feel free to contact me.

NB: If this has been discussed recently, then I apologise and feel free to redirect me. Thanks.

Am interested how you go.
Had heard cheaper to fly to Adelaide and drive back, rather than buy in Darwin!

Even Canberra to Sydney is worth the drive for a better price.

From 12 months back, so possibly no longer relevant:

125tdi HL wgn 41809+GST+$1495 dealer delivery + onroads (possibly another 2600 off that - spreadsheet hard to read)

Alltrack 43445+GST+ 1495 dealer delivery + onroads (possibly another 2500 off that - the spreadsheet is hard to read)

Wife decided on neither & bought a Captiva instead

Ive met a few blokes up here who have all purchased their new vehicles (not VWs) from either Melbourne or Adelaide and driven them back. In one instance, one of them purchased a Commodore SV6 in Adelaide and after all travelling costs he was still about $5000 ahead.

Thanks for the numbers Brad, I must admit, theyre a little higher than I expected for fleet pricing. Is VWs fleet discount roughly 10%? Id be interested to hear of some more quotes.

Im sharing the pain with the Captiva...

10% off the RRP for me. (Ordered back in March 2013)

So about $48K+ for standard AllTrack + Park Assist + Rubber Mats all round...

I have no idea how accurate those prices are - as I said, the spreadsheet appears to have been designed to confuse & it's from Feb 2013.

Fleet prices vary depending on the buying power of the fleet so maybe some folk will do better. Wife is in Government & generally they couldn't negotiate a good price on a cup of coffeee.

I have a few aquaintances up in DRW & they've all done purchases in ADL or SYD (SS Ute, BMW 1er come to mind), flown down & road-tripped home and still saved money. One has a VW Golf & he says never again for VW as the local dealer is so arrogant.
