How much did you pay for your Jetta/Golf?

[maca]

2009 Jetta 2.0 Turbo DSG
Pearl Black paint
Sunroof
Satnav
Xenon lights
Leather
Electric front drivers seats
Alarm
Charleston 18"
Fogs
Tint

$52K

only 1 month old,not sure if I like it... the engine is disappointing... maybe it is the DSG and its weird gear changes. This is a downgrade from a Audi 2.0TQ (mortgage reasons). I know a few more $ and could of got a R32 however I needed the boot space! too bad VW don't make a R34.

WOW that sounds like the perfect Jetta. And honestly that price sounds like a steal when the best the dealer could offer me was $40,000 for a DSG TDI with Aux and front Fogs!

I didn't shop around so I probably could have got a better deal. It's mostly tax deductible for me so I'm not too concerned

09 (I think - ordered October 08 delivered Feb 09) Jetta TDI Manual
Metallic paint
Leather
Tint
Ipod adapter
Bluetooth
Floor mats
Fleet discount

$41,300ish

The dealer has since sent me a gift (family photo portrait) worth $800 to say 'thanks'.
That doesn't mean he could have dropped $800 from the price as he would have a deal going with the gift provider - still, it's a nice touch.

The best part was that between October and February the repayments dropped by ~$150 a month.

So it seems I was the only one getting stooged by the dealer when I went to order my Jetta Hehe now i'm glad I didn't buy my car from him.. And decided to go a demo instead!

Is that an option? All cars should come with that (mine didn't).

Why not buy a GTI over a MKVI Golf?

That is a LOAD of options which are jacking up your price massively.

Ditch most of that stuff, just buy an aftermarket AVC head unit, it will do the bluetooth and GPS DVD IPOD INPUT etc and more. for $900.

Then just get tint done yourself for $200 cash instead of like $500-700 from stealer.

Alarm is also a waste. They won't steal these types of cars without keys usually and everyone ignores alarms in general public.

Mats should be free so don't attach any value to them in transaction. Same goes for full tank of fuel. Mandatory.

Hey maca, not an option but was listed on the sales quote..

to be honest we had not looked at that option... time to investigate .. thanks

Yep you are right it's the options which are making this sucker so high. We do not need the park assist,alram,mdi which comes to a lot... but it's hard to find a dealer that has one of these in stock.. so you guys think i hould keep looking ?

thanks again

A well known sales strategy to add perceived value.

Yeah, I think you are getting too "sucked in" by the options.

At the end of the day, your car will be less powerful than a GTI and although it is the new MKVI, I think the resale value of the GTI will still be better than the golf. The 118TSI 0-100km/h 8.00seconds. GTI 0-100km/h 6.9seconds.

At the moment, you should be able to pick up an awesome deal on a GTI. I just bought a Golf GTI Pirelli, 5 Door, Black with Rear Sensors for $46,000. Which is absolutely unbelievable! It uses the same engine as the Audi S3. I could almost guarantee you, that once you sat and drove one of these you wouldn't even look at the 118TSI again. Being a limited edition car, with special finishes such as the interior and Pirelli P-zero tyres, it will hold its value very well as it will not be directly affected by the GTI MKVI (well, at least in my opinion) because it is still a different car. The new GTI MKVI is 155kW vs 169kW on the Pirelli.

Remember you can retrofit the options later on. Rear Sensors can be added, SAT Nav, Bluetooth, MDI etc..

That's my $0.02. Interested to hear what you think.

hello DeanCorp

You make some interesting points here @ the end of the day it's the options that are bumping up the car.

I'm now going to go and ring around and see who was a GTI in stock I can drive. I also think i will call the dealer and let them know I'm not going ahead until I get more info as I do think they are taking me for a ride...

hope to come back soon Deancorp so I can reply to come of your top comments.. thanks for the heads up...
