Hi anyone have any idea on Jetta drive away price- I am after 118 TSI with DSG
I was told by a dealer they dont anymore offer 'factory prices' as drive away price since the new upgrade. Is that true?

I purchased an 09 in OCT 118 TSI (DSG) with fog lights for $34K on road.

So that is a guide...

The 09 77TDI was offered to me at a fleet discount for the same price.

Hi,
I just picked my Jetta 3 weeks back but I had booked it in June. I paid a total of $ 37612.50 on road, which included

MY10 Jetta 118TSI 7Sp DSG (actually booked MY09 but when got delivered it was MY10)
Metallic paint (graphite blue)
VW Bluetooth kit ($700)
Extended VW factory warranty ($ 1048 - best price you can get)
5th Dimension package (I know, I know it was a rip off but I liked it)
Window Tinting

I purchased this from CCC in Sydney. I hope this will help.

Man after seeing a few of these prices, I really did get a bargain for mine

I cant say the exact price but it was sub $40k on the road for a 2.0TFSI with leather as the only option. I bought this a year ago just before Xmas.

I have said it before (on another forum very recently too), what really pisses me off the the total lack of any pricing on most of the the manufacturers websites. I know it's because of the change in legislation that says they must advertise all cars including dealer delivery etc etc etc it makes looks for even a ball park price a pain the arse.

Holden's site says it the best, but still, in todays day and age to not get pricing online it a total wank:

As a result of new Clarity in Pricing legislation, effective from 25 May 2009, the ACCC requires all vehicle manufacturers and dealers to advertise the purchase price of a motor vehicle as a single price (i.e. on an 'all inclusive' basis).

The 'all inclusive price' will include the vehicles list price and any other quantifiable 'on-road' costs that a consumer will need pay to purchase a new vehicle, including:

* Vehicle purchase price;
* Stamp duty;
* Luxury Car Tax (if applicable);
* Compulsory third party insurance (CTP);
* Registration;
* Dealer delivery fee.

Items such as metallic paint and light commercial aluminium tray will also be shown as required.

Given that many of the 'on-road' cost components may vary from dealer to dealer, from region to region and from one purchaser to another, Holden has decided to remove all pricing from its website for the time being.

To find out the 'all inclusive price' of a vehicle within our model range please contact your local Holden Dealer. To find the contact details of your local Holden Dealer please click on "Find a Dealer".

I'm looking around at different makes and models and it's realy PITA. Surely all cars have a sticker price, would it really be too hard to add on the "standard" govt charges and rego etc (calculated at the highest rate) and publish those as RRP.
While I'm sure the legislation was designed to make life easier for consumers, I'm sure it's done the opposite. I would like to see a test ringing up a list of dealers from all stables and asking "how much is a xxx bae model, no options, no trade, cash?" and see how long it takes to actually get an answer... I know some experiences I have had have been to the point when you need to get rude and say listen mate, I don't want to come in, I don't want to talk about it, cough up a basic price and we can go from there. In my case an answer like "low to high $30's" would shut me up but it's been hard to get even that.

The reason you can't get a simple answer from a dealer over the phone is because as soon as that phone rings they smell a sale.
They know that they can't sell a car over the phone and they are trained to get you into the showroom to maximise their chances.

It has to be 100% accurate because you have to be able to buy the vehicle at the price shown and how do you do that when pricing varies from state to state from dealer to dealer and even from purchaser to purchaser (ie vehicles registered in a business name attract different state government charges) and cars that are under the luxury (really it's just to tax people who aren't on welfare) tax threshold could enter the threshold after adding a few options.

Plus options are taxed differently depending if they're fitted at the factory or by the dealer or if the purchaser has them fitted after they take delivery.

The new system is ridiculous to say the least.

While I'm sure the legislation was designed to make life easier for consumers, I'm sure it's done the opposite.

All it's done is made it hard to compare cars as you have no base price to work from and forces you to drive from dealer to dealer to dealer to find out pricing and from that start negotiations. I wouldn't be surprised if dealers are now making more margin than before.

Yet another poorly conceived government initiative aimed at helping stupid people make it through another day unscathed
