[rayw]

the ACC is worth waiting in my opinion

G'day Guys

I've got the option to jump on a fully loaded up GTI (my order is months away) and wanted an opinion on the price I've been offered (after all there are some serious negotiators on this forum!). I have standard corp discount. Vehicle details as follows:

2012 5-dr DSG GTI with:
Bi-xenons
Sat Nav and Dynaudio (what is the bundled price of this?)
Detroits
Sunroof
Leather.

Price I've got is $53,000 on road. (on road price w/o discount on this as far as I can guesstimate is about $59,000 tho dealer says $61.5k!).

I think he can do a bit better, but your thoughts would be appreciated.

cheers

Was that corporate or corporate plus discount?

Seems like a reasonably keen price to me. That's fairly close in percentage terms to the deal I got for my GTI with Corporate discount, although I did order on launch day 2009. In SA there's less competition so I needed to get interstate prices to bring to the table first.

As suggested by some members here - Buy R for the same price.

Yes buy R but you may have to give up on Sat Nav, Dynaudio, Sunroof, Leather...depends what you want...

Good luck.

Satnav is always something you can put in later for less anyway. You can grab a good 2012 VW RNS510 for about $900-1200 on ebay (as i did)

Is it possible to get a 5dr GTI with DSG and ACC for 43k drive away? (no other extra, just ACC and DSG)

[andrew7]

Was that corporate or corporate plus discount?

Just corporate Serge

[spikeyboy22]

Was that corporate or corporate plus discount?

What is the difference Serge between corporate and corporate plus ?

Andrew what dealer gave you that deal I think it is a good price compared to the price i have been offered by a melbourne dealer with there so called corporate discount.

Price down to $52.5k per dealer this am. Seems a pretty good price. I'm not fussed about leather but presumably good for resale? Only option I would like which is missing is RVC, a tricky retrofit but possible. Am mainly a tad nervous about the large options list viz depreciation, particularly as I am likely to turn the car over at 3 years post end of lease....my other option on table is 5 DR dsg with nav, roof, detroits, and RVC and full tint for $48.5k. Is the GTI with some extra bling worth the extra $4k? Thoughts?

Leather does bugger all for resale - in fact all options probably do. If you are concerned, then the R would be the better choice as it is priced $10k more new, so would be worth more used (although not $10k in 3 yrs time). I know the argument on basic Vs fully optioned has been done to death and most know which camp I sit in. If you really value leather, nav (most people don't with $150 tom toms) and sunroof, go for it. But just don't expect to recoup the cost in 3 yrs time.

[SilvrFoxX]

I am no expert but wearing the the hat of a buyer in 3 years time with having paid circa $53K for a GTI you will want top dollar, a buyer will be wanting low ball price with whatever options are available. If you are going to pay that much drive away the R option is going to be a better one.. there is nothing to go by at this point but I would hazard a guess the R will hold a higher value amount if you were going to spend that much.

[andrew7]

yeah, agreed SF- I"ll go the sensibly optioned GTI @48k and look forward to the mk7 R in 3 years when the lease is up

so Andrew any clue to where you are getting these good prices from?

My car was $44,500 drive away for my 11.5 5dr, DSG, 18 detroits, Bluetooth, RVC, MDI, tint and Bi-Xenons with DRLs. So I reckon with MDI and Bluetooth standard now you could possibly do better on price. If I was you I'd wait until June when you'll get free on roads. I reckon 50k should be possible.

thanks guys appreciate the feedback. seems quite positive for Slaven over Lennock.

Go with Slaven. I flew up from Melbourne to buy from them and drove the car back home. They were great. gives you some idea of the customer service I received from Barloworld when they are located about a 1 minute drive from my house!
