New R36 owner

[R36 Dreamer]

happy to email the invoice to you once i have it. the price you were quoted sounds about right for RRP. If you can get fleet discount it makes a HUGE difference to the price with VW.

I had an option to buy am R36 wagon with Satnav, Dynaudio, CD Changer, sunroof and autotailgate for just over $71k. This retails for $85k i was told. Spewing i couldnt buy this as i hadn't sold my last car in time.

Matt is dead right - the fleet discount is actually paid by VWA as a rebate back to the dealer, and exceeds 10% of the RRP, so if you can get it do it. In order to qualify you only need to work for a company with more than 15 vehicles (IIRC) and get a letter from your employer advising you are entitled to a fleet discount.

The dealers are happy to provide it (as they get it refunded by VWA) so if you can do it - go for it.

Matt can you let us know the name of the dealership and salesman you bought your R36 wagon from?

Thanks,

Hey Matt, great news on a speedy delivery, it seems that doesn't happen too often anymore! Can't wait to see pics of your new R36...

so.....

Hi Matt, Yes I live and work up at Lindfield so Chatswood Classic Cars is the closest dealership to me. Maybe we can catch up some time.

Cheers,

John

PS Only one more sleep before you take delivery!

the price of $62,200 is inclusive of all costs, drive away. I was fortunate to receive a good fleet discount as a benefit of my employer and on top that they reduced the price further if i took delivery by the end of month.

Yes i agree black is the best colour. This is my 3rd black car and second in succession so its not going to an issue. Now being able to wash the car at home helps too.

i will definitely post pics up when it arrives.

Hey Matt, congrats on your new purchase.

I am thinking of getting a R36 too. Are you buying the car through a company lease? Which then comes with the fleet discount?

Cheers
