Are you pulling my leg...Why pay rrp when you can pay market price? Have you actually downloaded and looked at your specs in the spreadheet. If not, I strongly suggest you do. Then ring a few other dealers. If you cant save yourself 2 or 3 grand from rrp you just aren't trying.
I think he's hoping to pay RRP, but get all on roads ($3k) thrown in...

Just a word of warning, nothing comes for free. Yes, you may apply for the investment allowance and obtain a refund of your tax from doing so, but be warned that this is a high audit area for the ATO.
Agreed - being able to utilise the tax break is only for people that can legally do so - my two friends I mentioned were able to (full business use for the car), but I am unable to do so for the car I'm about to purchase.
Ultimately, you as the sales person have the final say on if you will accomodate someone and make a sale. Try coming around from the other side of the sales desk and seeing things from a customer perspective. We are all doing it tough in this financial climate not just car salespeople.
This is going to have a strong stench of bias attached to it given the fact i am in sales but you statement about it being ultimately our choice is a little misguided. All dealers have to commit to a factory target (irrespective of brand). If the target is not met then the business, especially in high volume times that are hard to make GP (such as now) becomes unviable. It really is a catch 22 for them and dealers are selling cars close to cost whether you choose to believe that or not.
But when it all boils down to it if we get to a point where we have to fold we were never viable anyway. Besides with it as aggressive as it is in all brands at the moment you couldn't pay to much even if you wanted to.
You are right though, it is a big purchase and no-one expects you to pay more than you have to and you should do your homework but it would be nice for people to show loyalty to those sales people that treat them well.
Just ordered a 90TSI 7-DSG in united grey for my first car
Including metallic paint, comfort package, floor mats, tinted windows, full tank of petrol
with corporate discount
was told it would come to ~36,541
> Driveaway 32,000
We're not the best negotiators but hopefully this was a good deal?
