Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[DKC]

Sorry, but I think you've got your info mixed up as I mentioned the car went up in value. Dealers were later on selling them for $67k~ (Demo stock ect).
Check out redbook for the pre order price ($58k~)

I don't think redbook reflects what people actually paid.

Can anyone who managed to buy a Wolfsburg Wagon (including options?) at $58k (or anywhere close) please post here to confirm?

Just put a deposit on a new Wolfsburg wagon. Blue. No sunroof.
The wait begins...
There will be a 2015 plated Mk 7 R manual with cloth seats and 40,000 kms on carsales around the same time if anyone is interested. FSH, no tinkering and a nice set of Michelin PSS with maybe 10,000 kms on them.

Which model is this for the mk7 or mk7.5? Is the latter how much was it if you don't mind (PM if you can )

The Wolfsburg will be the new 7.5.
No price available for the new Wolfsburg yet. I probably won't be able to say what it'll cost me anyway as the sales manager is a mate so I'll get a very good price.

I have the original R wagon. Price new was $59k + on road costs. Sunroof was an $1800 option.

I paid $65k with the sunroof, boot lip protector and boot liner.

For a while, used and demos were selling for low 60s, quite quickly as well. For the past few months sales have definitely slowed.

I was trying to sell mine for a while asking $53k, receiving minimal interest. Decided to keep it and modify it more.

It's a great car, new one I believe has a slightly higher power output (213kw vs 206kw previously), digital dash, larger screen and LED tail lights. Other than that not sure there is much else in terms of changes.

300 available this time vs 200 released last time.

Will be interesting to see if they offer it in more than 3 colours that the first version was available in (blue, white and grey).

For those considering buying, I have read it will be a permanent model in Australia next year. So if you're not in a rush, then maybe waiting and not paying a premium for the Wolfsburg edition might be an option.

I may put up an EOI for my MY16 Golf R Wolfsburg (Hatch) in the coming months. I'm considering looking at buying the 7.5 edition.

I can't put an EOI yet in the For Sale section due to having <10 posts but if anyone is intrigued or interested, let me know!

I'd be interested if it is white.

Unfortunately not. It's blue.

Ahh never been one for blue cars unfortunately! Never mind!

Ok so yesterday I put a holding deposit on a Wolfsburg Hatch. They don't have prices yet for the Wolfsburg. They passed me a sheet from what seems to be VW Australia, saying the following:

- Early 2018 release, possibly March
- White Pearl, Lapiz Blue and Orux Black as colours
- Same bits and bobs as the original Wolfsburg (DAP standard, Carbon Napa Seats, Pretoria Wheels however they are Grey Metallic instead of black)
- Electric Seats with memory
- 400W Dynaudio
- Carbon finish folding mirrors
- Sunroof as only option for Wolfsburg
- Few other things too which I can't recall as the sheet is in my car

Dealer reckons similar pricing to last Wolfsburg. I have a clause where I can cancel if price is over 65000.

This article quotes $57,990 for the Wolfsburg hatch, plus ORCs:
2017 Volkswagen Golf R pricing and specs: Wagons and Wolfsburgs return to local line-up

Release is August.

Still DSG only?

Edit: read the article - ☹️

Why do they only offer manual in the hatch? Wagon only comes with DSG?

That's only in the standard R; the Wolfie is DSG-only in the hatch too.

I suspect it's all down to what VWA thinks will sell. For example, the GTI PP here is a distinct model (DSG only) but in Europe it's an option box tick on the GTI and therefore can be had with manual or DSG cars.
