Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

    welcome abaord pomie.

    cant help you with the negotiations at all.

    be worth shopping with some eastern states dealers as well to see if there are any major price differences here.

    post up some pics when you finally land one

      Thanks mate
      K1W1 just replied on a thread in the Fabia section and gave me some good advice so i have a ball park figure to go play with and i will try and have a lookse at some other dealers in the perth region and also do the online out of state searches but shipping would add quite a bit from say the easy coast to over here ?
      will defo post my pics up once we got something.

      Cheers Roger

        I wanted a car a while back and the local dealer wouldnt budge on price.

        I got a quote from a dealer in adelaide a lot lower (including freight) went back and told the local dealer I was buying in Adelaide, and he dropped his price to match, on the spot

          Hi Gareth,

          Wondering what the dealer had to say after you knocked him with the lower quote? Sounds as if he called your bluff and lost!

          What was the difference in the end?

          Not sure I would have given them the business if I were in your position, as I can't do with the "it's the best price we can do as the margins are just not in it" (receBntly said to me when I had quotes for a new Polo).

          Cheers and enjoy the new drive....

            he dropped his price over $4k.

            He was being smarmy because he had the only one in Perth that I wanted

            Internet is a wonderful shopping tool!

            I was happy to get ex Adelaide for the price but getting it ex Perth was a lot more convenient

              4k, big drop and a lot of extra goodies on the car.... Agree with Internet being a great place as it has shown some of the sales tactics for what they are.

              Suppose once you have the car you can choose dealers and service centres...?

              Cheers

                    dont misunderstand me jimmy, mine was a few years ago and not for a polo. LOL.

                    Pomie, a tip for you when negotiatiating.

                    Dealers often cut the price of the car for you, and then kill you with all the options you choose - you can screw them down on the options too.

                    another way to acheive this is decide what you want, and then get 3 or 4 dealers to give you a quote, pricing each individual option, then cherry pick the lowest prices on the options and get one dealer to match that
