Golf R Specifications and Prices - 2nd Edition

[Allegiance]

Great, thanks. Who was this through?

I love the look of this one: 2012 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R DSG 4-MOTION VI MY13 Cars For Sale in NSW - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au -- love the colour and 19" combined. But it's $68k [!] starting price.

Barloworld Moorabbin in Melbourne.

So, would appreciate some feedback on current arrangements.

Looking to buy an R, DSG, with leather, no other options, for $57k, on the 1.5% finance arrangement. I think it seems quite reasonable (based on the current finance offer) - I think I could only get it lower if it was all cash.

I think you can do a tad better, I got my options listed below for roughly that, swap the leather for the sat nav and I got the MDI and ACC as well. But don't lose sleep over it, I got a corp discount and paid cash so could have swung things my way a bit. Just a tip don't go over $57K as it bumps the lux tax and that gets applied to all the options

[THR]

OK, thanks. Isn't the MDI included now? Also, thought LCT kicked in at $59k.

They don't seem too keen to negotiate much below that (because I'm financing); although they've given an OK price for trade-in for my current vehicle. I'm exploring other options with other dealers though, because ideally I would have wanted a couple of other options (at the moment, limited by what is available).

Might also check out some inter-state dealers.

My partner thinks we should wait for the MKII R though, but I'm not sure I really want to wait another ~ 2 years.

You could be right on the LCT, mine is a couple of years ago now. I wouldn't wait for the MK7 R , it will take years to be released and then the 9 month wait on top of that, by that time you could have had 3 years of R joy

As I said it isn't a bad price and if the unit is ready to go now take it and run, you wont give it a second thought once it is in your posession
