    Just out of interest Serge - how did you get this one into the country? Was it a special order? Are VW a little more flexible with allowing one-off colours now? A genuine mistake / oversight in the ordering process?

    My last 3 cars have all been red, and the only thing to potentially hold me back from a MkVII R purchase would be the (un)availability of Tornado Red.

        Serge. A few points from my end.

        1. The price seems high, given that the only options are 19s, sunroof. The Tornado Red colour is obviously unique (for the Golf R anyway, but common as on the GTI), but it is a normal production run colour and not metallic. Indeed, this colour is available in Europe/USA.

        2. The red shown here isn't like the Mercedes Designo or BMW individual range where a one-off colour (e.g. which matches your favourite shirt/lounge etc) outside the normal run commands a premium of $6,000-$10,000. My mate's boss has a C63 in special order yellow which cost around that, partly because they had to completely shut down the paint line just to paint it (as I am sure you are aware, they paint a whole run of colours at once)

        3. While I appreciate that this is a one-off and someone might willingly pay the premium for it, I do find it a tad hard to swallow such a difference for a colour which does not stand out in the way a yellow/blue/green etc does. But, if you can find someone who appreciates it and will pay the premium, all the best with that.

        Just my two cents......

          finance analyst, u just said what a lot of people were thinking. of course its high at almost $70k, its laughable actually, but its carsales, what are u gonna do. if someone is willing to pay a premium just because, then they will.
          its not unlike how people r willing to pay a premium to not wait 6-12 months for a car. car dealers slap a hefty profit margin if they think they can get away with it. some punter might bite.
          its business, i dont blame them. i wouldnt pay it, and u can add my 2c to ur 2c, but we're still short a few thousand. if we get enough 2c then we might be able to buy it

            Funny I wasn't thinking that, if you run through the options add it to the base price then on roads it MRRP. So it is a starting point of conversation with the advertiser.. you think he is going to put up a discounted number only to have us yokels come in a negotiate it down further.. geez louise

              The only $70k GOlf Rs I have seen are fully decked out ones with Sat Nav, Recaros, RVC etc.

              This only has roof and 19s in black and the red isn't even a metallic colour. So I think there is a $5,000-$6,000 'thin air' profit in there (meaning that the moment you drive it out the door, you get SFA for it when it is back for sale at any time).

                            Not wanting to go OT but this is actually not so, at least not last time I visited the MB plant in Stuttgart.

                              Yes it should. I've copied Serge's opening post into the Golf MK6 Dealer Stock Thread, and I'll close this now, as it's run its course.
