What do you mean by gen standard BT? is this the gen vw bt? and if so what was ur option price.

your car will look awesome, 3 door white with detroits would have to be the best looking option IMO

How is everyone getting 10% off! The best i can get on a GTI is 6-7% with $1000 cash deposit and no finace!

Saying that though, the salesman did say that they are more likely to make more discount on a car that you order. I was looking for cars they have in stock as i need a car straighaway. And that probably is the difference I just cant wait 4 months as ive alread sold my car privatley

Fleet discount as well to get above 10%.

I was offered $2800 off just for fleet.

I'm interested in this as well, this is what we are after,

5dr gti, dsg
red
18" detriots
ACC

On road for this came in at 49515 based on dealer delivery at $1995 which is still a frickin ripp off and the best I could get was just over $45k on road with no corp disc, this just doesn't do it for me, if I can't get a better price I might have to go with the subaru forrester xt.

perhaps wrong dealer?

maybe coz they know you cant wait so more likely to pay more

if you finance they actually make more so its good for them. Dont tell them if you are financing or not, negotiate the deal first.

ask one of the guys who got an amazing deal and see if you can be teed up for the same deal?

there are reps on here so pm them? not sure if thast allowed but.

with no corp disc,.

someone correct me if wrong but with or without corp discount it doesnt make any difference. Its not like VW head office chips in on the discount if you are corp. Still comes out of that dealership ...

[elisiX]

Guys its not just the wait time that allows for bigger discounts, but the number of options you choose.

More options means more margin.

Ah actually I believe its a yes, corp/fleet discount is paid by VW not the dealer, which is why they are so quick to offer it.

[scheps]

yea, thats what it should be in theory, just wondering why a friend, who went to negotiate a deal, then at the end said he was eligible for corporate program, didnt get anymore off.... if its VW paying they would have said yes and the deal would have been sealed?

so who knows....

[Nath]

Its true that the more options the 'bigger' the discount due to the increased margins, but of course they also get more money out of you.

From my understanding the Corp discount entitles the dealer to a refund from VW Aus how much though I cant say.

For me I think it comes down to the dealer you go to, I took one from stock, Red with only MDI, and added reverse sensors and ended up with 11.7% discount from memory, so pretty happy, and I know elisiX got a great deal on an optioned++ ordered vehicle with no corp discount.

Use the spreadsheet in here to work out what the car costs with delivery etc and then aim for say 10% of total cost in discount, anymore is a bonus.

JLR no finance isnt a plus for a dealer either as they make more money if you finance than if you pay cash, I combined cash down (large amount) with finance to get my deal, not sure if that helped as we didnt go into much detail with financing during negotiations.

I can recommend Beamm at Sutherland McGrath Sydney as he gave me a good deal, and I'm sure there are others here have similar for other dealerships.

Good luck with the wheeling and dealing

[JLR]

Maybe, but i've been to 3 in VIC. I think ill have to cut my losses, as I need the car pretty much straight away. Cant wait 4 months. I think ive come to realsise, that if i want it NOW (car in stock), i have to pay a little bit more.

Ah, thast makes sense. Oh well to late for that.

if you finance they actually make more so its good for them. Dont tell them if you are financing or not, negotiate the deal first.

Im not sure who they are. Davids been very helpful though.

there are reps on here so pm them? not sure if thast allowed but.

[Nath]

Just cause you're taking it from stock doesnt mean you should pay extra, in the end they need to sell the stock, having it sitting around does them no good.

Mate in the end the car is worth what you are willing to pay, if you're happy with 6-7% then thats a great price for you, and thats all that matters.

So I take then that no one knows exactly what amount the corporote discount is?
