hi all,
i've collated all of the data in the main negotiations thread along with some helpful pm's to make a spreadsheet i'm sharing with everyone.
basically, if you're thinking of buying a mk6, you use the spreadsheet to spec the car up how you like it, tell it whether you have access to a corporate discount, and also the low/high value of your trade-in (i recommend drive's car valuation page) and it will give you a range within which we'd consider a good deal.
in a nutshell, expect a 9-12% discount without corporate discount, 10-13% with. little things like floor mats and premium plates you should be able to negotiate in for free, and other stuff like window tint you're better off getting elsewhere anyway.
i hope this proves to be of use!

Thank you to widjaya
Please note:
The "RRP" in the spreadsheet is the cost of the car, plus options, plus MADE UP onroad costs. Please note that it is in NO WAY ACCURATE, not even when it was produced. It may have been accurate for one of the cars on there (presumably the creater's purchaseed it). The calculation for stamp duty is based on the NSW formula only and is completely inaccurate for any other state. The dealer delivery is "conservatively high" for non-GTI/R models. The CTP is wrong, as is the registration (even for NSW). There is no accounting for LCT (not that it should be an issue with non-GTI/R models). There is no accounting for the cost of number plates!
So use as a rough guide only
