mk6 dealer negotiations

[five8]

Hi, I'm just about to buy the new MkVI 118TSI and was thinking back to the very first car I bought from a dealer (Mitsubishi). After 3 hours of standing firm on the price I set before going in to the dealership and sitting in front of the Sales Manager and saying no to every offer he had, I got a new car for the price of a demo ($4k discount) along with the normal 10% off. All they did was take the car around the block, total of 30km on the ODO and sold it off to me as a demo car.

Not too sure if I can pull that off again with VW as this will be the first VW I will own. But some news report last night advised that car sales were down 20% and would have been even more if it wasn't for the 30% Govt Invest Incentive. So go hard on the Sales Managers and don't accept a "No" from a salesperson who isn't authorized to say "YES"

I'll let you guys know the outcome in 3 weeks.

new 118 TSI DSG Price

I'm just about to buy a new 118 TSI DSG in silver
Can anyone tell me what I should be paying for the driveway price on this car? I've seen some of the posts say I should be aiming for 15% off?

That would make the car close to $30K, surely that's not right... is it?? Please let me know, if anyone can tell me somewhere selling them for this price I would be keen to buy!!!

Thanks!!!

You have to add on on road costs first which will be around 3k or more then maybe minus the 15% off that. That should give you an indicative figure

I asked on Tuesday about a 118TSI/White/DSG/Sports/ACC and was quoted around $37000 drive away (after corporate discount) which is vitrually the same as I paid last May for my similarly-spec'd (other than ACC) GT Sport. He didn't seem interested in further reductions, so perhaps not all dealers are feeling competitive pressure.

As an aside, he noted that the Tiguan models were selling particularly well.

TG, whilst it is probably too soon to be getting screaming deals on Mk VI Golfs, for mine, that price would need to be at least $500 lower and include a roof, and perhaps metallic paint too.

It's at least $2,500 off the mark for a discerning corporate buyer such as yourself.

... though it would be a done deal if the leasing company passed on the 30% investment allowance!

G'day

I just bought a Mk VI Golf on Saturday from Austral VW at Newstead in Brisbane. It was for my wife so it is only a 90TSI Trendline. Candy White. Only accessories were mats front and back and rubber boot tray.

Drive away RRP was $30,574. I got him down to $26,178 drive away.

Based on the car and options / accessories you are looking at, I would be hitting the dealer up for way more than $3,000 discount.

I got nearly 15% off pretty easily so I think they have a bit of play at the moment - why not try the same...that's around $6,750 off as a first offer.

You did well getting over $4k off a $30k car. At the same rate our friend should be getting $6k off. I don't know if factory options have more dealer margin than the car itself, but I imagine dealer fitted options and accessories would, so provide more room for the dealer to move.

No luck

Went to the dealer in Brisbane over weekend, no luck on the 15% off. The dealer actually quoted me more on the price of 118 TSI DSG after I spoke in person last time with fleet discount. Wouldn't go below $34,945 whereas the fleet was $33,500. Waste of a Saturday!! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Will not be going to see that dealer again!...

Got the build week on mine tonight. Week 25 (17th June)

6 or seven weeks after that to ship and prep at the dealer. So by mid August I should have it

I ordered last week in March so about 15 weeks all up.

Might even get some use out of the heated seats too, as it'll still be winter...ish

from all the prices I've seen, 10-12% discount on drive away seems to be about right. Any more than that and i reckon you're getting a pretty good deal. I'm in the middle of negotiations at the moment, will keep you guys updated.
