R36 Wagon- what did you pay?

[2muchcoffeeman]

So did mine... And I can easily say my car cost $70k drive away.

Amount of cash you have to pay + amount they give you for trade = total cost. Pretty basic maths that one.

Fair enough- on that basis, I did ok then!

Regardless, I'm happy with the deal and the service received...and that's what it's all about...

Just signed the contract on my sedan - satnav, sunroof, paint and tinting - well below 70 drive-away! In shopping around I could save 4-5k.

Paint? Metalic paint is NOT an optional extra on an R36. It's included in the price. Which is why on a white R36 you get a Sunroof standard since white is not metalic paint. Some dodgy stealers still try to charge white buyers for the sunroof though which is just down right LOW! And "well below $70k" is a lot more than $4k - $5k off to me. $4k - $5k makes no difference to me when I buy a car. Still, anything sub $70k drive away for an R36 is a decent price.

Just wondering then...

My invoice says:

Vehicle Price $58 142

So add GST and it becomes $63 956

Because I chose candy white, there is no charge for metallic paint listed. However it does list a charge for sunroof of $1818.18 (ex GST) ie. $1999.99 or $2k for the sunroof with GST.

Is the metallic paint worth $1818 ($2k with GST) or so then? I'm wondering whether I'm paying metallic paint price and the sunroof in this....


EDIT: From a Passat price list dated February 2009

Passat R36 Sedan 6 Speed DSG $65,990

And in the options section:

Metallic / Pearl Effect Paint (standard R36) $1,000
Electric Glass Sunroof $2,000
Satellite Navigation RNS510 (Sedan models) $2,500


So how I take that is that the sedan price is $65 990 includes $1000 for the metallic paint. So the base price without the metallic paint should be $64 990.

I have a base price $63990 so it seems to be cheaper than the official price list says.

Metalic paint on non-R36 models is $999.00 IIRC (I may be wrong) so your sunroof option should have that much knocked off the Sunroof price or $2,000. That's if the dealer is doing it right.

RRP is $64,990 though so you already have a discount.... It's actually a bit harder to bargain with dealers since the legislation changes I reckon.
