Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[Dubya]

Hi, new to this forum so be kind.

Just bought a Black GTI DSG 5 door with the following options:
- Metallic paint
- MDI
- Standard Bluetooth Kit (just to make/receive phone calls)

Price of $43,200 on the road (corporate discount included). They are asking for $70 for the iPod cable. Might look around for that. Seems steep to me for a piece of cable. I didn't know at the time it wasn't included.

Is this a good price?

Is anyone able to set out what the Bluetooth options are for the Mark VI and they're respective costs? They don't appear on the price list referred to on page 1 . . .

Thanks.

That's a good price for the cable mine was $75 and rrp is usually 90$ or something. Although if you're buying a car you'd think they could throw it in.

Just went to online to vwdiscountparts and they are selling it for US$50 incl. delivery which works out to be about AUD$58. Is it really worth saving $12 to get it overseas?

Standard one cost about $800 dealer fitted. This enables the phone button on the steering wheel to be activated but does not display who's calling or import your phonebook on the radio screen. I just wanted to basically answer the phone whilst I'm driving. I didn't need anything fancy. The Premium bluetooth option was about $2000. I couldn't justify the cost.

Before someone goes mad at you here's the link to the bluetooth discussion thread, it gives a pretty comprehensive summary of options with OEM and others.

If you re prepared to wait a few weeks for delivery.

Thats one fitted out GTI, nice

When it comes down to price if you're happy then who cares, but looks like you got around 6-7% off the drive away price (a little over $4K) so not too bad.

Now its just a waiting game hey?!

[elisiX]

Yeah its a game I have never played before tbh. Always bought a demo or something in stock and i've never paid retail.

I am generally very happy if I get the car at RRP without any on roads which in this case it sounds like i've done the same. (DD being $3k and rego etc ~$k)

I guess I could've pushed them harder on price but without the corporate discount I was bound to pay a little more.

Hey you've done well, me I wanted it now so only had the MDI and threw in the reverse sensors (as the camera is factory fit) ended up with a pretty good price a little under $44K so about $5.5k off or there abouts, pretty happy with it, but some people round here expect lots more than that in discount.

Hell I have my car, have a smallish debt (paid some in cash and financed the rest) and in the end thats all I care about....

Love my GTI

[elisiX]

Yeah your deal sounds awesome. And having the car right away is a significant plus!.

I put $2k down on the $57k and with a 3 month wait will put another $5k down before picking it up.

Financing only $50k will make the transition much much easier when it comes time to sell.

[Nath]

Yeah I was pretty happy and when I threw in $10K cash they were drooling at the mouth.... lol

Was surprised though that given it was one week after release, and that they're weren't many around that they were willing to part with it for that price, I guess though its partly a marketing exercise in getting them on the road for people to see....

[elisiX]

I hope this doesn't happen, but I have a feeling that the MKVI will sell just like the MKV did - in bucketloads.

I think with the MKV release, soooo many people paid RRP and were stung badly.

So I think its nice to see that there are discounts being offered right off the bat.

Congrats on your purchase. What do you mean by the above statement?

[Nath]

Not wanting to steal his thunder, however I think he means that if/when it comes time to sell what ever is left owing to the finance company will (hopefully) be less than what he will get for the car as he has paid a portion of the purchase in cash.

[elisiX]

Yup. That's exactly what I meant.

I'm not silly enough to think that I will get most of my $11k in options back when I sell the car.

So by laying down a considerable deposit, I guess I am protecting myself from a nasty shock down the road.
