Can someone tell me what the story is with bluetooth? I am told the R comes standard with bluetooth although there is a bluetooth option in the brochure?

standard on everything above the 77TSI.
look at the back of the brochure in the spec sheet

Agree with SF

How can you walk past that price !

[tonymy01]

Esp since the base rrp (not inc stamp duty, dealer delivery, rego) for the R is $49990.

Thats a great price did you order any options for the R?

Ok first of all havnt ordered yet! Only options were the 19s in black. And to the previous comment, im 22 , 40 k is in my price range but i know 48500 is great for an r!! So im thinking of saving up a tiny bit more and getting the R. Im considering everything including resale value. Although either car i plan on having for a very long time

I got my R for 48.5k driveaway - just replace the black 19s for Dynaudio, bluetooth and mdi (options when I purchased)

Snap it up at that price. It took me a fair bit of calling around to get one under 50k.

[Candyman]

$48.5 drive away ?

Remarkable.

That is almost $10k under mine and I got corp plus and a discount with only leather and DSG as options.

It's actually harder to get a good price on a near standard car imo, in terms of percentage discount.

But I had a number of factors fall my way. It was a cancelled order in stock, it was the end of the month and I had a hungry salesman.

I also didn't pay GST as it is a lease. But that price included GST.

I couldn't get corp discount. Just haggling.

I did have to buy it in Victoria rather than NSW.

[Paulc1964au]

I think $59400 for a DSG, sunroof , leather interior and rear camera isnt bad and after gst taken off think i got it for $54K including delivery charges im not complaining still no delivery date but on the spec sheet it showed 30 june 2012

Does the R have launch control here in Australia and if so how does it work?

Yes, it does. The procedure is documented in your owner's manual, along with the warnings and disclaimers. And you can use the search function and you'll find plenty of references to it. It's off-topic for this thread though.

Thanks Adam for your response should be fun to try. Heard from Paul Wakelings todayif I still want the rear camera then it looks like a September delivery date however they have located one with sunroof and leather currently being shipped from Germany so i have decided to forgo the rear camera.
