thank you for the info....
how much more should i expect to pay for auto transmission do you think?
i have found the car i want, asking price is $33,990 drive away.... they are selling me the story there are only a couple of cars left with the sports pack (118tsi auto) and don't want to move on price... they know i want the car....
not sure if they are feeding me BS in relation to their being no other 118 tsi with sports pack available right now.... i have a car broker getting prices for me so i suppose i wait and find out what response he gets.....
sorry for the essay, my first time buying a brand new car and i just hate the bargaining process.... so back to my main question, how much more do u think i should pay for auto transmission? anyone?
i'm in two minds, i don't want to miss out on the exact car i want and end up paying more after the financial year ends, due to the sale being on at the moment of dealers fees/stamp duty free til june 30.... or is it possible i will still get the same price after june 30?
eeeeek i'm hopeless at this! thanks for reading if you have gotten this far.

I had trouble sourcing what I was after but I think the manuals are less popular than DSGs. I like DSGs (my Passat is a DSG) even with the take off hesitation problem but basically enjoy manuals more and the cheaper price seals the deal. I can't answer as to whether the extra money for a DSG is worth it, only you can determine that - however it does open up the resale opportunities more despite some higher servicing costs. I think you should be able to haggle a bit more than the price you have been quoted - tomorrow is end of the month and often dealers shift their prices more towards the end of the month to help fill their quotas. Simply make them a reasonable offer at a price you would be happy to pay - you have nothing to lose. Knowing the price that others have paid is helpful but no guarantee of a price you may get (either higher or lower) - unfortunately it is somewhat of a 'game' but you can't blame dealers for trying to get the best price they can - they have to make a living and hopefully a good profit like everyone else.
