Golf R Specifications and Prices - 2nd Edition

[reds13]

I cancelled my order on the gti as it was delayed again and decided to purchase an R.. obviously I didnt have as great of bargaining power as they had a contract for the gti.. however I managed to get $51,900 for a my12 candy white R in manual with black 19inch talledagas.. I know its not the best price but i think it is probably as good as I could get with a previously signed contract for a different car.. didnt get any other options as I am already out of my price range! but we are happy with our choice!

Hi Ryan41, did you pick up your car on Wednesday late afternoon? about 4.30 ish?

I was there and I saw exactly the same Candy White R with sunroof and 19" Talledagas. It's stunning cool.

I got kicked out by the sales lady because I thought it was a show car. Eventually she just locked the car once i hopped out from the car. lol

Pricing and Waiting times

Hi All.

Been sifting through the endless pages here, and have found it very informative. I am doing my research on purchasing a Golf R.

I have found the spreadsheet very informative, but it does not have the MY12 options? (I believe Nav/MDI/BT) are one
option now rather than 3?)

What dealers have been 'carving' them up the most? I am from Sydney metro, and would like to buy fairly local if I could. Realistically, if I ordered NOW, when could I expect the car? I have been quoted beginning of Jan by one dealer, and 5-10 months by others.

...I just don't want to get stuffed around here, or at least know what to expect.

Hey mate.

MDI and BT are now standard. Sat Nav is still a separate option. I need to update the spreadsheet at some point... but work and real life and all...
I personally don't think it matters which dealership you buy from, even if it's from Canberra etc. Just go with who gives the best deal. If you're getting a factory build (to your options), the wait will be the same no matter which dealer, so don't fall for any promises that one dealer will have it a few months before another.

As for the wait... it could be up to 9 to 12 months at this point.

Thanks Corey.

I suspected that receiving a car by Early Jan sounded a little too good to be true. The car would have to be built, and on a ship within the next 3 weeks for that to happen.

The same dealer was also quoting Scirocco R delivery by 3rd week Dec / 1st week Jan.

Picking up my new R tomorrow:

Vienna Leather

Was lucky enough to find this one sitting in dealer stock so only paid my deposit last Saturday. $53k drive away so very happy!

Fortunately not.. Was pretty happy with the deal I managed to negotiate with Denlo (Parramatta).

I started out looking for a 3 door DSG but ended up settling on the 5 door manual based on availability (and price). Not to say I couldnt find a 3 door DSG, but considering they were MY11 and none of the dealers seemed slightly interested in doing a deal I decided to go with the MY12.

fck me, can I call you to negotiate for me when I buy my next 'rare as hens teeth' car?? ; )

[robodisco]

What did you pay and what options did you get??

Its a 6MT with only RVC. Opted to get a povo R than a fully optioned GTI
I am getting it leased for a year and then buying it out, which works well for my situation. It will be approx $50,500 driveaway.

[Candyman]

That is an incredibly good buy and well done getting an MY12.

I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement!

But on a serious note - I would highly recommend anyone looking at a new Golf (or any VW for that matter) to go and see the guys at Denlo. This is the 2nd VW I have bought from them and have been incredibly impressed on both occasions - both in terms of service and pricing.
