I'm not sure where lawsy82 is looking up his prices, but that configuration should be ~$50,900.24 on the road in NSW. So the fact you've been able to get almost $4k discount is actually quite awesome. Especially since you mentioned nothing about corporate discount.


Edit: Heh! You posted just as I was writing this.... Show's you how accurate my calculator spreadsheet is!

[erko]

yep. lawsy is off the mark.

Corporate discount will apply to the 47k.....but bear in mind thats first quote, no push. i think its quite good as a starting point!

im going to get some 18' BBS CH and have dealer fit and include on sale contract too.

Thanks Coreying for the excel program, that makes it very easy to work out how good a deal you're getting with all the add ons.

I was just wondering, does anyone know if the GTI mk6 has the automatic distance control in Australia, I was reading that it is an optional extra on GTIs overseas. I haven't seen it as an extra for the Australian GTI, so I was wondering (hoping!) it might be standard here. It sounds very useful for highway driving.

The blue tooth add on seems very expensive, do the after market add on work just as well?

[erko]

Heres some BBS CH in Silver. They are also available in Black. I have looked at other wheels......but you cant beat German wheels on a German car i reckon

^^^ Be sure to get some staggered wheel sizes i.e. 18x8 and 18x9.5 for the rear!

[Corey_R]

You'd need to make sure the offsets are also appropriately adjusted as well, if you wanted your car to pass inspection (rear wheel protruding from bodywork etc!)

In a FWD? LOL. Just what we need, proportionally more rear grip = more understeer.

18x8 +50 no worries.

Pretty sure we don't have the fancy Adaptive Cruise Control system that the europeans get as an option.

Our cruise control is just the standard one i.e. it won't monitor the car in front of you and brake automatically.

In relation to the bluetooth add on, you should do a search for the Fiscon Bluetooth kit... there should be numerous threads out there.

Edit: Here are some threads on the Fiscon kit. Apparently it works very well for most people - relatively simple installation (if you've got experience with installing bits in cars), more functional than the VW basic bluetooth kit, integrates with the car audio system and the multi-function steering wheel (not the phone button but via the navigation buttons), displays caller's numbers via the MFD etc... still quite pricey for a bluetooth kit, though.
