Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

[G-rig]

Sounds pretty cheap to me with all those options.

[dz4]

Yeah but I'm thinking there is more in it as the delar doesn't have to pay on roads.

Its only a 3K discount on options, I'm sure there is more money in it for the dealer.

[ConR]

ugh...ya, that sounds REALLY cheap. I have pretty much the same spec but in CSG and no BT, and paid $55k on road. That was part of the EOYS and an additional $2k price drop.

I'd take that deal and run...

[dz4]

Thanks, I've been going crazy about it all.

they also have a red one without park assit but with ACC, at the same price.

i think I will go the White one.

Yeah I don't really want either, but to take advatage of the sale I will have to.

I was thinking Park assit for resale vaule and its more practical., Also I prefer white.

Also I have heard with the ACC, lowering the car will cause issues, is this correct? (I have plans for the furture)

[G-rig]

ACC is great with the 18". WJ thinks you could still do a small drop with ACC (ie 15mm) without too many problems. Main thing would be finding some springs that don't increase NVH (ie noise) but kind of got ACC so i wouldnt mod it, and the OEM suspension is better anyway overall.

You can't calculate your discount excluding of onroads (not if you want to compare to what is already in here). Also, if you're taking advantage of the sale, effectivity the dealer / VGA are paying the onroads for you (ok, so you're still paying, but it comes off what you'd normally negotiate). As everyone else has said, the deal you are getting is pretty good - in fact, I work it out to be more like 16% than 13%

Just purchased VW Golf 118tsi with DSG, metallic paint, window tint, mdi with ipod cable, tank of fuel, floor mats and boot mat for $32,500. Based on my calcs, it looks like its about 11-12% discount.

How did I go with my deal? Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I bought mine recently and I paid $32,400 drive away for a 118TSI with DSG, Metallic paint, MDI, a tank of fuel and floor mats. (EOFY deal)

EOFY sale price

im eyeing the 90tsi golf however the trendline limits me to certain upgrade options. only comfort pack, no sports pack
just wondering whats the lowest price anyone paid for their 90tsi manual/dsg price during the eofy sale.

can i change the rims to those vw 18" ones?
would appreciate inputs and advice.

thanks guys

[Wugaga]

I was quoted at $31,990 drive away for the 90TSI DSG with comfort pack and metallic paint, pre-negotiation.

[craig_the_german]

I paid $29000 drive away for my 90TSI manual with comfort pack and metalic paint...about 2 months ago...before the sales etc.

[fungaside]

I picked up the 90TSI manual, metallic paint, comfort pack, mats and tank of fuel for $28K pre EOFY sale.

[krait81]

anyone here bought their 90tsi during the eofy sale?
which vw dealer would you guys recommend in melbourne.
frankston? berwick? others? bla bla?
i like to deal with a nice agent who would be flexible =) hahaha

The 90TSI is the absolute base Golf. The EOFY sale means they're paying all your onroads - dealer deliver, registration, std plates, compulsary third-party insurance (or the equiv in your state) and stamp duty. Since the 90TSI is only $24990 (Manual), and the onroads for that could be ~$3,915 depending on who you are and where you live ($1995 dealer delivery, $1110 rego & ctp & plates, $810 stamp duty), that equates to a 13.54% discount!!!! That is already a very generous discount. In fact, many people have negotiated hard and walked away happy with a deal on far more expensive Golf models with a lower % than which the EOFY automatically gives you on the 90TSI.

In other words... you could practically go to any dealership and you'll get basically the same price - either the advertised sale price very close to it. Maybe the different between dealers might be freebies they throw at you. But don't expect any further cash discount. That way if you can't get anything further off, you won't be disappointed, and if you do, then you'll be very pleased.

[krait81]

sounds good mate. i figured it would be hard to go below 24990, but perhaps they could give me freebies, or allow me to add-on some options at a discounted rate.
however seems like if the car i want is out of stock and delivery would be after eofy period, i am not entitled to the sale price? =( is that the way things are?
