Can anyone share with me via PM (if they don't want to share here) their prices for the 7.5 R?
Spoke with my dealership (who I have bought a few cars off) and the quote I received was wayyyy too much and I was advised that they can't drop much.
I just don't know what price I can realistically ask for, is 60k for full specd DSG R realistic or do I need to revise my budget? I won't be leasing or financing.

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Cheers

To everyone out there looking at a 7.5 do yourself a favor go for the digital dash and 9.2 inch discover pro they are nothing but awesome also the stereo rocks 2300 could not be better spent if you need to justify it it will massivly increase your resale price the cabin with these 3 items just looks like you spent 100k on a car not 30 to 50

Bloody hell that looks NICE. WOULD BE better again if the trim pieces around the air vents, Discover Pro unit, air con controls and lid to the little storage area under the air con were all piano black like in the Highline, rather than the gloss grey as in the Comfortline and Trendline, but hey, STILL AWESOME!! Congrats!!!!! I am SO envious!!

Check the Wolfsburg thread. Someone there managed to get a Wolfie hatch for a little over $62k (good going I thought), so a fully loaded R should be under that by some margin. Or get a Wolfie (if prepared to wait a while).

"The stereo rocks' - yep - thanks for rubbing that into the "R" buyers.

While we're here, though, has anyone heard the poverty-pack speakers that are getting forced on the R ? There not being much interest in the Dynaudio Debacle might mean the standard kit isn't too shabby after all.

Yeah, saw that price. Very good going if you ask me!
I agree I SHOULD be able get the R under 60 because of the price he got for the Wolfie but I doubt many will budge.
I was told January at the earliest for Wolfie, too long a wait if you ask me!
Also the story speakers on the sounded fine for me. I would prefer dynaudio but yeah, think I'll stick with the R if it doesn't work out Price and delivery wise.

Yeah, they sound good to me, didn't pump then too loud but they did sound good.

For a Wolfie that is amazing! Did it have a sunroof added? I couldn't get it down that far for mine with everything in it.

Yeah, even through my leasing company the prices I am getting on the Wolfie are pretty average - there's bugger all discounting.

Whereas a standard R's they are much more prepared to haggle.

[rambleforce]

To be fair, didn't even get close to the 62 and change on my Wolfie order and I haven't heard of anyone else getting that good a deal so far! My thinking for a fully specced standard R would have been super low 60's or 60 on the dot from the things I've heard, though I'm sure as time goes on (and if corporate is a thing) it'll get better for us.

I've been trying to work out if the Golf on the Volksfest ad is in Atlantic Blue. If it is, it's gorgeous. At least I got to see Tungsten Silver before I bought my Mk7 in it but my local dealer didn't have anything in Atlantic Blue. Seems like it might be a popular colour.

Don't think I've seen that one. I've just ordered a highline in Atlantic blue

Bad news Steve, the stock speakers are crapola. Well, chances are average joe wouldn't be too phased. To be honest though, it sounded worse than the stock speakers on a mk6. Not sure if that's because I was blutoothing into the system as opposed to cable.

And.. in my moment of weakness, I lumped a deposit down on a Wolfsburg. Feeling like I should have waited at least until the official launch in 15 days just to make sure Dynaudio doesn't suddenly bounce back as a normal option, but like I said, moment of weakness. Dealer isn't sure yet he can get what I am looking for, but if he can't I get the deposit back so no love lost.
