I would have said $35k was drive away, except I have to now go to the RMS (DMR for us old farts) and pay the applicable stamp duty myself.
Oh, and it *was* after trade-in ($2.5k)on the 349k Nov '07 MK5 Golf 2.0TDI. So *I* believe I got myself a bargain, and hope no-one bursts my bubble!
And I really, really wanted that black one in Sutherland, damn you Larry! (Or the Night Blue)
Finance approval pending, pickup tomorrow morning, one Silver 130TDI R line!
For anyone interested, the Purchase Contract has the Vehicle Price of $35445.45, less a discount of $1354.54 (no idea were or what or how this discount was calculated), but adding GST of $3409.09, gives the purchase price of $37500. Now subtract the Golf's trade in, and you get $35k
Something else that might also be of interest, gleaned from my phoning most dealers in NSW within a 500KM radius of Sydney:
All the diesel-gate Tigs (and others, I assume) are all previous orders to VW from Dealers. So there are really no loose Tigs hiding away in those damned distribution yards. On their release, the original Dealer was then offered their order, but at a reduced price (They come to the customer with standard new car warranty) but are officialy classed as second hand vehicles. Some Dealers are calling them Deomstartor models, but their official designation is a Used Vehicle. (This is born out by my Purchase Contract which is titled Contract For The Purchase Of A Used Vehicle)
Those salesstaff that offer to find one for you do exactly what I did. They rang around. My Botany seller had told me he knew of a Night Blue R-Line. Asked him if he meant the one at Sutherland. He did. But I had pretty much put Sutherland VW in the manure pile (see previous entry re Larry at Sutherland...)
Hope you all find the Tig of your dreams
Merry Christmas to all, and Happy Holidays to everyone else
