Golf R Specifications and Prices - 2nd Edition

[simonm]

The one that most people were calling BS on was for a fully optioned R, including Recaros ($1,400 more than leather + elec seat), plus sat nav and dynaudio ($3,500), so almost $5,000 more than your spec, and then add stamp duty and LCT - if you paid only a bit more than what they were claiming, you can see that their claims were a little unrealistic.

Interesting thread.

Just cheacked my lease contract and I got $2,386 off the dealer list price(excl GST) of $47,718.18. That was from Highway autos in Springwood, QLD. With my options of ACC, Dynaudio, Recaros, MDI, DSG, and then onroad costs, the drive away price was $57,536.59

These are factual number to hopefully assist others in their spending, but I'm not particularly bothered if its to low or to high, just can't wait till 20th January 2011when its delivered.

I still haven't seen any R's in Brisbane yet, so I imagine, many will arrive at the same time in Jan.

[G-rig]

there is not much in it.. I have seen the pricelist.. Corp discount is small on the R

It can still be as much as 11%, but as long as you get one that's the main thing.

Those who wanted one of the first R's (or dealer stock) can't really expect the biggest discounts.

I've seen one - Blue with silver 19's. I followed it along the M1 one day into work. And I saw a Black on Black Golf R parked at the top of Kangaroo Point last week. But they are the only 2 I have seen in 6 months.

Well - the RRP of my car was $70k, and I got it down to $63100 drive away. Anything below $65k I was happy with (seeing as these cars are pretty much selling themselves) - so at this price, I'm stoaked!

[Corey_R]

Well yes, that's believable. I've personally seen better quotes (many months ago whilst compiling info for my price calculator). It's good to see that even with the HUGE waits, you can still negotiate a deal such as that. But yeah, nothing like the discount that was previously being claimed by another member.

That's all that matters mate! Plenty have paid more and some have paid less, but I've totally fogotten about both the long wait (pre order in jan/feb) and the price lol. They're both completely irrelevant now

Hi dreamension, thats a pretty good price when you consider how some dealers are going shy on Golf R deals lately. Mine was RRP of almost $70,500, and I got it for a bottle of Johnny Blue under $60k. It was a bonus for me too, I would have paid up to $64k I reckon.

Mate, top luck with the upcoming wait. I'm fine right now, but once I get a build date (I ordered 2 months ago) and I know the show's on the road I think I will start chwing my fingers off.

[Corey_R]

Guys, please keep the "what ship you are on/I'm on" and the "when you are/Iam taking delivery" conversations to their respective threads. This is simply for R pricing and specs questions. Cheers.

p.s. I deleted a few off topic posts

How's this sound?

Golf R
White
3 dr Manual
ACC
MDI
$51500 driveaway?

Seems like not much, but they are in demand.

[Corey_R]

I calculate that as being around $55832.50 on the roads in NSW with the standard $2995 dealer delivery and $80 plates - so that's around 7.76% discount - or $4332.50. As you said, it doesn't sound like much, but it is practically base and they are very much in demand with current waiting times being 6 to 9 months.

Is this one in stock, or on the way, or is it a fresh factory order?

[Ideo]

Not in stock, factory order.

I'm not too upset at the price to be honest. I'm pretty sure I'll go for it. Just have to decide whether to go blue or white.

Don't want to get too carried away with extras. I have leather at the moment, and am happy without it (slide around on track), sunroof is meh, soundsystem is a bit meh as well.

[DreamensioN]

If you do go for it, I'd be interested to hear what they tell you the estimated wait time is.

[Ideo]

I'll let you know Friday arvo, it's when I'm putting the deposit down by the looks of things.

[langers_sydney]

Yes, same as that. I'd love to know what the current wait time for an R is off the boat...

Cars ordered this month will arrive July/August. You can no longer amend a car in the ordering system. Once its ordered that is it. Some of you guys are going to have to either comprimise on your needs/wants and pick something on the way or else wait the 5 - 7 months for a car. Anybody quoting earlier than that for a custom build is filling you with tihs backwards......
