Don't forget VW give large discounts on their vehicles if you are member of any one of the hundreds of professional organisations in Australia. Whether its the Master Builders Association or you are an industry professional its worth joining.

For example as a business consultant I joined the Australian Institute of Management (AIM) and its cost me about $360. This got me a $4000 discount of the R36 I purchased. It would have been about $6000 for a Touareg. I know as I was deciding between the 2 models at the time. (About 6 months ago)

Given also the GOVT 50% rebate has finished there will be large deals to be had in the coming weeks from most VW. I was actually speaking to my dealer yesterday about a Golf and he suggested that it might be to my advantage to to hold off a week or 2 until the deals kick in!
