Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

[Candyman]

These tears are real

Hit the Service Manager up for goodies if you can get on good terms with them

Dealers tend to only be helpful when selling the car

Service Manager has given me a few things but I usually drop off a bottle of champers for him and a case of beer for the mechs each Christmas

Ask CandyMan.. he is the king on contra

CandyMan, is it a good deal??? I'm still concerned about the reliability of 118TSI, but the other half said it should be ok for 2012 model.

Hi,

We have just put the deposit down for Golf 118TSI DSG 7 speed, comfortline $32,500 with corporate discount, including leather trim, Park Assist, Mats, Tint, Corporate Discount Services, On road road (stamp duty, delivery etc.), ipod connector, RPP was $35,000 not including all the extra. Is it a good price, because the deposit is fully refundable.

Can we still come back and ask them for pens, cup holders, umbrellas ? Or will it sound too greedy?

Finance is $10,000 the rest is deposit with 7% interest rate.

Thanks

I think SF was referring to my ability to get "contraband" off the dealers (aftermarket VW gear)

Sorry, I know nothing about the car you are getting.

I've got better than that at home

Regarding the 118, lots of info on this through this forum. Good day to read through some of those threads and talk to owners

I've got 75,000km on my 2009 model. The only problem was a clutch shudder in 2nd gear. Fixed under warranty, which is what they are for....

I have a 118.... Love it and hate it all at once... Hard to explain but if I was trying to be unbiased I'd say I bought a lemon, but the stubborn side comes out in me and I say its a great car. I wouldn't do it all again though, I'd spend the extra 5-7k and get a GTI.

My service manager is a chick and does not look like Megan Fox haha but she is worth her weight in gold.
