Golf R Specifications and Prices - 2nd Edition

[orkers]

$67k for mine. Same spec as Dreamension's but without RVC, Silver 19s and added Sat Nav.

I probably paid a little OTT because mine was in stock and I picked it up almost straight away. Still very happy though.

As per another thread on general observations, the Sat Nav is good that it is built in, but not the greatest Sat Nav and doesn't have speed / RL cameras. Don't think it is worth $2.5k. don't forget to add Bluetooth - much better to get the factory installed one in my opinion.

$63k for mine. But people have also posted in that thread what their configurations are, and how much they paid. It's good to get an idea of what you should be paying, and how much room there is for negotiations.

sounds like you got a good price, I am wanting to pay about 60k

That's not going to happen. Use the calculator at the start of this thread. Once you go over $57,466 in VIC you go from a 2.5% stamp duty to a 5% stamp duty on the entire amount. So the RRP "drive-away" price for this in Vic with standard plates in Melbourne would be ~$70,406. To get that down to $60k you'd need a 14.78% discount - which would be spectacular if you could get it... but given they've sold more than they can supply atm, there is no reason for a dealership to do so...

I get a corporate discount so hopefully will give me a better discount

lol.. even corp discount isn't much on an R

why lol for? I got nearly 12k off when I purchased my MKV GTI new in '09

Wow - in my experience that sort of corporate/company discount on a VW such as a GTI or R is unheard of! I suggest you contact the same guy again.

I have seen the price book, corp discount on R is $1500, everything else is down to your negotiation ability. If you are leasing it then you can get GST removed and fleet discounting.. but Corporate alone on the R is bugger all ( hence lol)

Yeah, corporate discount was bugger all really for the new Tig, we were much better off with the discount VW are offering with their drive away specials at the moment. Would of been good though if they let us have both.

I think from memory, I got about 16% off the RRP.

I ordered a Golf R - 5 dr DSG, ACC, 19", Leather and bluetooth - all this for 57k with corporate discount.

And yes corporate discount would have been around 1-1.5k. But any discount is better than no discount!

[SilvrFoxX]

good price.. well done

Hi vesssh,

I paid $61,500 for the same spec as you plus ACC & Weathershields.

Alot of haggling and its doable.

Cheers.

I currently have a 2009 MKV GTI and my change-over is now only a year away. I have been thinking about a few cars to get but now have the new Golf R at the top of my list.

Thinking about the following mods:

Golf R 5 Door - 6 speed Manual
Electric Glass Sunroof
Satelite Navigation with Dynaudio 300W Premium Audio
Media Device Interface
Rear View Camera
Vienna Leather Upholstery
VW Bluetooth
19" Wheels

Anyone have one in a similar package? If so what would I be looking at paying?

Cheers

$59,200 on the road.

5 Door, Rising Blue, DSG
19" Rims,
ACC
Leather
BT
Dynaudio
Tinted windows.

No haggling, but Corp Discount and good relationship with dealer, works out to about 14% discount according to spreadsheet.

[Corey_R]

well... that's way more than the Corp Discount obviously, so whether you "haggled" or not, there was some negotiating beyond the Corp Discount happening there
Good price.
