[ConR]

and look like a retard who thinks a honda is cool?

no, you don't get it...the Type R automatically makes it go faster...it's something to do with the red R

Picked up my CW Golf R 3 Door DSG with ACC, RNS510+Dynaudio, Recaros today. [snip]

One word sums up that car: Sensational.

Pretty nice mate...

Your first mod should be this:
(badgeless grille)

Don't forget the new bonnet that has to go with that!

[iBoost]

The R looks awesome mate, storm trooper look ftw.

[G-rig]

Would be so easy to do a panda bear or Storm Trooper look.. heaps of win!

All jokes aside.

I truly love cars with which the one model can be adapted (especially from a factory order) to have different looks and feels. Just like on the BMW 3 series you can have "Elegant with chrome window trim and silver allows", or you can have "Sporty and black window trim and gun-metal grey alloys", you can do similar things with the R.

First time I had seen one was mine today.

Its been well worth my long wait since Jan 2010.

Thanks to Barloworld Bayside - Sensational from start to finish.

Pretty much just really really jealous. That looks so good with seats. Rims match the mirrors. It's beutiful.

Onya FLM, cracking spec too. And well done for knowing 3dr is best!

[G-rig]

Those seats are awesome..

Top colour (sorry tone) choice and a good spec. The look of the Recaros make quite a statement.

More photos please

The recaros make it.

Is anyone going to do better than full RRP?

I know these are new and demand will be OK, but any competition between dealers just to do the business? I know dealers will say "we don't need to discount because we can just to the next person at full RRP", but surely a definite sale today is better than hoping someone calls tomorrow?

If you had ten widgets that cost you $50, had a RRP of $60 and you had 20 customers who will buy them over a one month period what would you do?

a) sell them for $52 to get rid of them all quickly
b) sell them for $59 over the month period giving the customer a small discount and netting you a nice profit
c) sell them for $60 over the month period netting you a nice profit

Me, I'd go with option B.

Option A if you were stupid and didn't want to stay in business.

Option C if you were Austral VW.

Welcome to the forums! Don't mind Maverick, he's just had to reply to your question many times lately. To expand on what Mav said, if you are enquiring about cars which are IN STOCK or already in the country, then don't expect any or much discount - for the reasons Mav stated. However, if you are purchasing an R which will be a factory order, then there are definitely discounts to be had. You just have to shop around. It may require going to the Gold Coast, or even to an NSW or ACT dealer if those Brisbane dealers are being difficult.

I will however say, do not expect double digit % discounts like is available on the Golf GTI (i.e. You're unlikely to get 10%+ discounts). The Golf R is very aggressively priced, and more than likely does not have the margin the GTI does.

FWIW, corporate plus pricing brought an R32, 3dr, DSG & sunroof down to ~$57k driveaway from memory, nfi what the full RRP was (but i could be mistaken, the memory isn't very good lol)
