It's actually kinda funny, I don't get sucked in and race because what good is such a nice car without a license, but find it funny how many people want to race and the different types of cars that they own, I even had two guys in land cruiser troopies try and goad me into racing. Really!!!!! My other car is a BT-50 and I know it's place on the road and it aint racing a GTI 40ED.

Well I ordered my MY17 Golf R last week expect it to be here in a couple of weeks. Kicking myself for not finding these forums sooner, I think I paid a bit more that I should have.

On the upside it should be better than my Subaru outback.

Radar,

What did you pay? Congrats btw

[Radar]

I paid 60 including on roads. That includes the driver assist and paint protection (for what its worth). I am not sure if everyone includes the on roads when they mention price.

Mine should be here end of next week.It docked on the 14th of Oct.
I paid 58 drive away with Roof and Driver Assist.
Already have all my mods, intake ect ect . It will be stanced the day I get it

Hi

My first post as I have just come to terms on my first ever Golf (and my first ever new car!!)

My very first car ever was a 1963 VW Beetle. I have loved them since I was little.

Spent the weekend test driving various cars in the Golf size category but knew I was in love when I drove the Golf.

I am getting a Golf Trendline Auto MY17 in Tungsten Silver. Have opted for the DAP pack as well. Paying $26750 driveaway do you think that was an ok price?

Using their finance as well on the 3.8% with the 5 year warranty.

I am so excited to be a VW driver again and I am sure I will be back in with lots of stupid questions.

Are there any extras that they will try and sell me tomorrow that will actually be worthwhile (tint etc)

Hey all,

New to the forum. I've previously had a 2007 Polo GTI, and am currently in the market for a new Golf.

My current best price has been from a dealer in Sydney and just wanted to check to see what people thought:

New MY16 Golf 92TSI Comfortline in white, with the driver assistance package, as well as upgrading to 18 inch Rotary wheels, plus official VW rubber floor mats, boot liner, front and rear mud flaps. Drive away $31,490.

If anyone thinks that I should be going elsewhere let me know, thinking about going ahead pretty soon.

Cheers and thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi all,

My new Golf has landed at Port Kembla and with the track n trace shows "discharged from" this afternoon. Any idea how quickly it might get to the dealer in Sydney?

The original quoted scheduled delivery date was 5 Nov, but a couple of weeks ago they said it would be around 12 Nov (although shipping dates to Port Kembla only slipped one day in that time). I've been without a car for a few weeks so keen as, and the dealer has been a bit crap across the board, so wondering if it's realistic to hassle them for delivery this weekend?

Cheers and TIA

Matt

Once the car is off the boat, it goes to a holding yard where it will be collected by Patricks for compliance. From this point you won't be able to track the car, however your dealer will have special access to the Patricks system to see where it's at in the process. Once the car's complied (a few very minor modifications required to all cars, including compliance plate etc) it's back to another holding yard where it's then shipped to the dealer for pre-delivery inspection and configuration, detailing, and finally delivery.

Typically it'll be anywhere from 7-14 days from when the car is ready for compliancing (i.e. off the boat), to when it arrives at the dealership, but can be less or more in exceptional circumstances. The dealer has no control over this process but can report to you where the car is at. Once they get the car it usually takes 2-5 days for pre-delivery work, although that can be expedited in some cases (you'll need to push your dealer for that).

So you'll need to hold on a while longer. The average time from "discharged" to owner is about 3 weeks.

Hi all,

Back on the Vdub bandwagen, after a couple of years in the Subaru wilderness. Picking up an MY16 Deep Pearl Black GTI this afternoon (2 and a half hours from now, not that im counting). Dealt with Brighton VW here in Vic, and theyve been utterly brilliant, cant recommend them highly enough.

Nice!! You are certain to enjoy it. Did you go for any options or packs? PP maybe?
