Not a forum expert so hope this ends up in the right place!

Looking at buying my first ever VW!

Working on the following:
118TSI
DSG
Metallic
Sport Pack
Leather
ACC
Tint
Mats

Would 40k drive away seem a good deal for this? Or could I do better?

I'm sick of dealers not wanting to give me a friggin price!!!! Unless you sit down with them and bring a whole suitcase full of cash they simply don't seem to be prepared to even mention numbers... I'm sick of this car and i haven't even bought the damn thing yet

Hi everyone. Short time reader on this forum, first time poster. Great buying info to everyone who has contributed.

I feel for you Rufus. I am in the same boat. I just can't seem to get anywhere near the discount you guys are getting, especially when I mention that I have an ABN number.

The Victorian dealers assume that K Rudd's 50% tax depreciation for small business is discount enought. I'm a small business, and must admit that the tax depreciation has a big influence on my decision to buy a new car, but my profit is not that BIG.

$1K- 1.5K discount off the loaded car seems the best I can do without a trade-in.


Any suggests on how to get a better price? Should I delay my purchase untill after 30 June? Do I even need to mention I have an ABN until negotiations are done?

Please post your thoughts.



PS. Was any of your Drive Away price acheived by trading in your car. If so, can you repost with out the trade in value factored in.



Thank you in advance

[SLA14h]

I did not use a trade in that is just drive away price.
Itold the dealer the figure i would be happy with and i got it.
Good luck 88mm

Hey Newdub, welcome.

I got a similar spec to yours minus the ACC and tint but with the sat nav and paid $41400. So your deal seems ok to me. When are you expecting delivery?

[NewDub]

Thanks Ozram... still working on the deal at the moment, so no delivery date yet...

[Stoney!]

Hey all, I've decided not to lease the car now but to go finance instead.

So I'm looking at the following

Golf 118tsi - $30,490
Sports pack - $2000
Sunroof - $1900
Pearl black thingy colour - $700
Leather Trim - $3300
RNS 510 + Dynaudio - $4000

Total Comes to $42,390, plus around 4k on road brings me too around the 46k mark.

Now going on the 10% that everyone has been saying will bring to around teh $42k mar, do you think this would be a fair price, or do you think with all the overpriced options I'm piling on I could possibly talk them down even further....

This is the first new car I have ever brought and don't really feel like being laughed of the showroom floor when I throw a figure at them.

Thanks for ur help.....
Stoney!

Hi Stoney,

For your options, you can try to ask between $38-$40 drive away. $42 seem too much for me...

[Swallowtail]

You'll be doing exceptionally well if you get it for 38 to 40...

Your call too, but I'd question the value of adding 40% worth of options... from a resale point of view you'd be far better off with a higher spec'ed model to start with, with less extras...

Rufus have you tried going through a broker?

I got a couple of brokers to see what they could do for me, then rang around a few dealers to see what they could do for me.

In the end, the broker with the best price got the business, but the customer service has been non existent.

I was supposed to take delivery today, but hadn't even been invoiced!
