What deal did you get?

[Digger11]

Love the Scirocco. Serously looking at getting one as a weekend car.
Will probably get black as it looks great in this colour, and i enjoy keeping it clean.
Really surprised by the support for white on this forum as all white cars to me look like Corollas or Camrys on their way to bowls (and adding the word "candy" reads great on a forum but doesnt change the colour in real life.

+1 for black

I was one of those that wanted a white one too, but had to wait til april.
But they happened to have a black that's ready in two weeks time. Thus, I'm sold !

They had a no options CW at Barloworld on Nepean when I was in there on Saturday. Speak to Lara - shes who assisted me.

Feel free to call me (Rob) tomorrow on (07) 55838 945. I can supply Scirocco's and can also register in NSW for you. I am sales manager of Gold Coast VW and also stock controller, so I am more than happy to help.

Suprisingly enough Digger, candy White seems to be the new black. It's not a fleet white colour as you are used to seeing, but more of a lacquer white. We sell a lot of Candy White. 19's, Black tint and a Candy white duco. Nice Combo! With this in mind, I've always loved black too..

I just want to say, as a dealer,we are always happy to do a deal on a car. It's hard to compare prices as every scenario is different. If we have a car IN stock and it means selling it off the floor, we are always more inclined to do a deal on that compared to something we have to buy in and freight etc. If you are a little flexible with colours/options, it may help you to get the right VW at the right price.

I am always happy to assist with any enquiries.

Each to their own really. For me the white enhances the curves of this type of car whereas I think the darker colours hide the curves.

[Digger11]

Yep, each to their own. If we all had the same taste we would all be driving black Sciroccos !!!

[Mac135]

Or white Camry's.......

What deal did you get

Just to change the direction of the thread back to the title.

I've been to one dealer in Melb. (who shall remain nameless) who is adamant that there is no discount, not even one cent, on the Rocco. Even went on further to say that if I wanted one from interstate, I would be up for shipping costs to transport one from interstate and also the cost of transporting the swap from this dealer!!

Has anyone else had the same reluctance to discount? Will I get a discount if I put my money where my mouth is?

Reading all those discounts you guys are getting makes me envious!

[Mac135]

Yes I think I spoke to the same dealer. The line about swapping and transport costs is consistent with your experience. They also wanted an extraordinary amount to deliver the car compared to the deal I did.

Rule of supply and demand I guess, if they can sell them for a premium because of limited availability then fair enough.

I didnt get any discounts but then again I wanted my car now and not in a few months.

Also have to look at what options people got for the price they paid.

Mine was 59502 drive away with satnav and sunroof. Pick up on Monday.

[Andych]

Yep... my experience here in NSW is there is nothing in the way of Discounts to be had for cars that are here now or about to be here.
I ordered mine in August so no Discount.
I don't think there are any massive savings to be had by waiting...at this stage there isn't even Corp Plus available on them so don't fell like you are on your own... we are all in pretty much the same boat..
I think the best you are going to do is to get something off the Dealer delivery charges... at least for a car in the next Month.

Yeah - got the same line from my dealer here in NSW. But I think it is BS because I visited another dealer and he has a list of them coming in - all unspoken for. Once the initial demand has been satisfied, these 3DR cars will be harder to move than 5DR ones. Then you will see a sharp rise in discounting. If you are patient - you could save yourself a lot of $$.

I dont think that will be the case at all. They blocked the 3 door Golf R coming to to Aus for this car. To me the 5 door version of the Golf R looks the same as the base model TDI Golf.

If you want something that isnt standard and is only available in the R spec version, youll be buying a Scirocco. BW on Nepean has 6 vehicles unsold out of the 50 they were allocated and those 6 wont be delivered for another 3 months.

[Mac135]

Isn't it all down to supply and demand? Clearly there is some pent up demand for the cars. Time will tell how popular they actually turn out to be and how well VW manages the supply.

What's been sold or ordered to date has largely been done with out much major media - the local reviews and comparisons are still to come. My guess is they will help determine whether there are some bargains in six months time or whether there remains a full order book at VW a la the mkv gti or the current Polo. In the meantime I reckon how much you want one will determine how much you pay.

I can only manage to get $1200 off on a demo.
Well I really need the car right now so I'm pretty happy on the price
