Hi all

new member, as first time owner of a european car!
very excited to be picking up my new DSG United Grey Golf R, with leather and black 18" Talladegas from Denlo VW on the 1.5% finance deal.

very excited. and looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing our passion more!

Ray.

Hi Ray! I was thinking about getting the financial deal that VW have but most dealerships say it's the Regular driveway price for the 1.5%. Did you pay full price or if you don't mind me asking how much you paid. Round figure is ok?

Hi Ray! I was thinking about getting the financial deal that VW have but most dealerships say it's the Regular driveway price for the 1.5%. Did you pay full price or if you don't mind me asking how much you paid. Round figure is ok?

not at all, the listed price on my contract is $57,800 drive away DSG, leather, bonnet protector, painting of my original 18"s, and boot liner. I also got $4800 for my trade in of my beloved honda Jazz 2005 VTIS.
so a change over of $53,000.

No other dealer could get close to that, my fleet manager only got down to $54000 change over with only Leather included (dealt with Mario at Paul Wakeling fleet, lovely guy). I went to Mcgrath Liverpool and they said they could only do about $55-56000 change over (RRP drive away was $62XXX)

at financing $50,000 i think i'll only end up paying an extra $2700 at the end of 4years inclusive of all fees.

hope this helps, I pick it up next thursday.

That's really great. The best deal I could get was $53000 delivered. Stock model, non leather and no other extras with no trade-in. I think that's fairly reasonable?

[raybow13]

for manual or DSG?
sounds good especially if its DSG, which retails at about $59000 drive away RRP with no extras.

[Yashir]

It's a DSG! Im at ease now as I did put a deposit down on it!! I can't wait. Delivery is said to me 8th April

[raybow13]

Sounds great, do you get the 1.5% finance though? (Deal valid for picks ups efote march 31st)

[Yashir]

No I couldn't get that price and the 1.5% so we are using our own finance or trying to at least. The car is still subject to finance which we will know about sometime this week.

[raybow13]

yea thats the thing, i decided to pay a little higher price, as finance saves heaps (additional $2700 over 4 years)
i thought it was better than pulling $50k out of my mortgage at 5.8%.

[Yashir]

That's a fairly substantial saving. If only I could trade-in a decent car in. The reason I'm buying it is we need (more like want) another car in the family. Either way I'm sure you are excited and I know I am. I hope everything goes well!

Looks great Raymond. Congratulations on the purchase of what looks to be a perfectly ordered Golf R in the right combination.

Any plans to get some more power out of it?

Not at the moment, i want to just run in the engine first,
But also worried about warranty, as i do drive about 700km/week.
Its vital the car can last 4-5years atleast.

Also heard from camden gti that the dsg Rs are more prone tohave the gearbox fck up due to
Power increases/modifications
So thats why i think i may just keep it stock for now
