Golf MK6 prices

[alphabeatsco]

Hi i am new to the forum. There was a post about the golf prices, but all of it is the 118tsi.
In Victoria, how much should i be paying for a Golf GTI MK6, with ipod cable but no extra options.
i need a figure so i can negotiate with dealer... don't know where to start.
their rrp price is 47k.

btw it's 5 door, manual.

im tossing between the 118tsi and the GTI.
i thinkthey are about 10k money difference.
but is it really worth investing extra 10k? what is different about the two cars?
i know the engine is different, one is 1.4litre and gti is 2.0 turbo.

so what am i paying for the extra 10k.

seats, wheels, steering wheel, suspension, powah!, speed, styling, cred, 3dr option, etc.

It's a little bit jiggly in ride, but handles sharply in comparison to the lower spec models.

the GTI obviously interests me more.
but the dealer offered 47k, base model.
i am not sure what i should be offering him.

Easily worth the extra 10k IMO, go the GTI it would be a lot more fun (otherwise just get a civic and save yourself some money).

Added:

Just try and get a great deal on the GTI and it would be worth it for the extra features/performance/appeal and easier to sell later. Also you don't want to end spending money on mods only realise you could have got a GTI with the money you spent.

Although if you're not into performance cars & modding the 118TSI is still a great choice if you want a good quality reliable car, and would be better than civics, corollas etc.

I agree - definitely consider the GTI, there are many reasons why VW Australia has such a high percentage of GTI takeup per Golf models sold, it is such an attractive mix of price, quality and performance.
