Instead of adjusting the mirrors to reflect light elsewhere, I simply hit the fold button and they tucked in. A few minutes later when my orientation to the sun changed I hit the button again and everything was as it always was. No having to redo my mirror alignment. Lazy and a very uncommon problem, I know.
    What? You must really drive slowly, because on our Superb they won't close once you're on the move.

      Has anyone here bought a new car from a interstate dealer. If yes, was the experience worthwhile?
      5-10% off the RRP and about 50% off the pre-delivery cost depending on how good a bargainer you are. If you get 10% off then don't expect any better than wholesale for your trade.

      • Its definitely worth it. Especially if the dealer has it in stock and it is just sitting there.

        Approx. $500 to freight a vehicle as ive been told. But i have moved vehicles interstate with work paying for it and there werent any issues.

        To put into perspective. I bought the rs in my sig between $40k-$41k. Retail wouldve been just under $47k. Definitely worth it.

        I would have loved the 18" or 19" black pack and comfort pack. But the wait would kill me.

        What are the exact specs you want? Ill have a look around for you.

          Thanks.
          Yeah getting wholesale for the tradein sucks as it sort of neutralizes any discount I get on the RRP.

            Thanks mate. A very good discount you got there. ~13% off. You bought it from a Melbourne dealer?

            I am looking for a rs wagon with a tech pack and 18 or 19 black pack. The only colour I would not like is brown.

              Yep. Melbourne dealer. Not sure if theyll be able to do it again...but we can only try. Other dealers in vic and syd couldnt even match it.

              Tdi or tsi?

                Cant justify the initial and maintenance cost of diesel when they are both giving around the same mileage. And I like driving a petrol. So tsi it is.

                  Manual or DSG?

                  One dealer is Melbourne has a fully optioned Race Blue Wagon with sunroof, autoboot, etc. Would you be interested in that? Maybe too many options. Depends on budget.

                  Note: To stop threadcrapping, we'll go to PM. Please PM me your contact details and we'll go from there.

                  PS. I'm not a broker or anything like that, i just get a kick out of haggling and getting people good deals. Plus i really like this car, so the more people in them, the bigger the community! =)

                      Also the diesel is a PITA if you don't regularly do longer trips over 80km/hr with the DPF.

                            Hey brad, you've obviously not driven in Italy then? Italian parking bays make Aussie ones look big enough to park a '60 Coupe de Ville with enough space left over to swing both its doors wide open...

                            After driving from the German border down to Rome over the space of a week and a half, I came to appreciate the folding mirrors on the rental car (Renault Scenic) and the fact that I'm not a big bloke!
