There is a thread specifically for the GTI pricing here:

There is also a thread on how you can acquire and install the LED tailights yourself here:

Cheers and goodluck.

Just wondering if anyone would like to share how much they paid for the MK6 118TSI.
Looking to buy the stock standard 118TSI manual version (either white or reflex silver) at the present time and have been quoted around the low $32 000 mark.

Has anyone been able to secure a better price then this at any QLD dealer?

You might want to give Bryan Byrt VW a call, they were trying to do some very good deals having just opened up. It's where I got my 90TSI from.

Are you trying to trade another vehicle? It changes the equation a fair bit, that's all.

Hi, looking at a new Golf and have been offered the following deal

Comfortline 118 TSI
DSG
Reflex silver
Floor mats
Compliance plate Feb 2011

$31,850 driveaway

Fair price?

[Corey_R]

Yeah - that's a great price. The car is $31,990 + on roads. In addition to that you're getting the metallic paint option. Lets just assume that the floor mats are free (nothing is free, but I don't know the price of them as they're an accessory) - the "Drive away RRP price" for someone in Melbourne with standard number plates is ~$36,004. So you're effectively getting a ~11.5% discount which is really great for a car which is already in stock and doesn't have many options.

Looking at some options, a GTI Adidas, RRP on road about 51K, Best from Barloworld less $1500 (no trade) General concensis seems to be that i should get atleast 10-13% off. If i could get one for 45-46k or a standard GTI no options for 42K i would be keen. Otherwise how does a 2008 MK V GTI no options with 29,000K's for $32000 sound, Immaculate, as new 6 months warranty left. Was MK V a good model

Ordered a 2011 Golf GTI last week:
Manual 3dr

Xenon Headlights
Bluetooth
Tinting

*twiddles thumbs*

I look at my Polo GTI and I feel like it knows I'm cheating on it....

Check carsales for a MK V GTI, you could probably do a little better, depends on options, DSG or manual, 3 or 5 door. I have a 2008 MY09 GTI and love it. No major problems so, for me, it is a good model.

I too am interested in the Mk V GTI. I'm a little disappointed with my WRX and the Mk Vs have a great reputation. I would go for a well-spec'd model but I am interested to know if the DSG in the Mk VI is better or WAY better.

The DSG in the MKV GTI and MK6 GTI is technically the same. Sure, have been minor revisions to both hardware and software over the years (even within the MK6 GTIs), but they are largely the same.

They are both great cars.. MKV is what got me into VW. I never even blinked at VW before that. So I love the MK V. Sound great too!

In saying that though, I would get a brand new MY11 model for the extra $10K and enjoy the whole process a bit more.

Hi,

If you went to Hawthorn and Medindie, be aware that they're the same dealership - Solitaire - and have a monopoly in the Adelaide VW market. You probably won't get much movement on the price without some serious haggling.

Try getting a quote from Duttons at Murray Bridge - they get a good rap from those who've dealt with them. I bought from Solitaire, but had good quotes from a couple of Sydney dealerships and went in prearmed. It always helps to be prepared to buy from interstate and drive the car back if you don't get any traction from Solitaire - which some members have done.
