[noowve]

why didnt you thank to me?!

Hi Wdong, thank you for your wishes.. wasn't online, that's why.. we should catch up when i receive my car..

[noowve]

Congratulations mate, it looks like you got a good deal there.

lol - April delivery!? The car would already be on a ship right? You've already been given the VIN number etc ?

[wdong]

vw australia told me the car will be built by end of April, arrive in australia in June, i will get sth return for the sales, lol.

Bring up the price to
50595

That seems like a remarkably good deal. I presume from your profile that you're in Victoria.

It seems like the starting point for negotiations in NSW is higher than Victoria. Im looking at a 5dr DSG model with half the number of options and the discussion is starting at $51k already factoring in a corp discount.

Victoria has a 2.5% base stamp duty instead of a 3% in NSW. It gets worse for NSW since once it gets to $45k 3% of the value under $45k and 5% of the value over $45k.

However, that swings around heavily in favour of NSW once the car gets to $57k in which case VIC changes to 5% stamp duty for the ENTIRE value of the car.

So yes, in your case compared to wdong's, he has a head start due to stamp duty.

Im not sure whats more stupid; the fact that he posts this crap or the fact that we read it and comment; im leaning towards the latter

I dont buy any of this

Well, if the weather is any good on the planet he is living on, I might just consider moving there, sounds like bliss.

Ordered my new toy today

Finally got the order placed today for my new GTI.

5 door,Tornado Red, manual, MDI was scheduled to be built last week and has a VIN allocated already. Just checked not on the tracking website yet.

Due for delivery end May, let the count down begin

Bam, congratulation, i to ordered my new toy on Saturday.. where did you buy yours?

[Ankush]

Congrats guys, how much did you guys end up paying as am looking to buy one too.

[noowve]

Ankush, i paid $48500 drive away, specs are below my signature.

good price for 118 tsi?

i got a deal in nsw for a 118 tsi with the following specs
dsg
sports pack leather
paint
mdi

for 37500 drive away
good deal or nay?

[DracZ]

I'd say that's a pretty decent price.

In comparison I got the following for $35,000 drive away (semi-mates rates)

118TSI DSG
Metallic Paint
Sports Pack Cloth
MDI + iPod Cable
Reverse Sensors

Got quoted $34,500 without the sensors so if you add $3k for the leather option, its pretty much exactly the same price drive away. Main difference is that I'm in VIC.

You might wanna check out these 2 threads for comparisons.
