New CC Pricing - what is a good driveaway price?

[GippsCC]

Well, I suppose you can now quote a precedent. I was very pleasantly surprised actually..... I only asked the question (worst they could've said was NO).

Sadly, they didn't have a V6 on the floor for me to steal the Interlagos' from

Oh well, was worth a shot, and to be honest I CAN live without them lol. But again congrats on picking them up yourself.

On another matter, I had confirmed today that my CC will arrive April (having just come off the production line with all my build options this week). So six months from ordering, but on plus side 2013 build date plate.

Wife just got an indicative (ie: it could change a little bit) price from her fleet manager for a bare bones, absolutely no extras, 125TDI.
$48020 inc GST & delivery - plus on roads at whatever they cost.

Got a prelim quote for $69.5k driveaway (Fleet/Corporate) for :-

VW CC 125 TDI (Factory build for Oct 2013 delivery)

• Candy White
• Window Tint to match privacy glass
• Driver assistance package
• Park assist 2
• Active Climate control front seats with massage function
• Dynaudio premium sound system
• Walnut wood & ambient lighting
• Door sill protection black with silver highlights
• Rubber boot mat
• Transparent loading sill protection
• FREE Swap from Lakeville to Interlagos wheels including spare (subject to availability of donor V6 on showroom floor).
• Paint glaze (Ceramic Pro 9H High Gloss Permanent Nano-Ceramic Coating - lifetime warranty with annual inspections)
• Leather, dash, glass & wheel protection
• VW New Vehicle Extended Warranty (3 Yrs - Underwritten by Allianz)
• Full tank of fuel at delivery.
• Delivery and handover to me at the office.

My next step now is to see how far the dealer will go to get the sale. Time to negotiate. HARD.

Order has been confirmed and signed off. Delivery has been set for Friday 1 Nov 2013 with the dealer doing a drop off and handover at my office at 12.30pm on the day. If for any reason my CC is delayed, the dealer will instead be dropping off a demo MY13 Touareg or demo MY13 Passat Alltrack as a loaner for me to use until it's ready. To be honest, I'm not too keen on either the Touareg or Passat Alltrack, but the important thing is that I won't be stranded without a car on the day! At least I won't have to consider driving a company supplied *shudder* rental?!?

The only change to the above specs is that the CC will now be a 130TDi (130kW/380Nm) instead of a 125TDi.

The final price I ended up getting from the dealer was much lower than the prelim quote, but this was only after very long, hard but fair negotiation. Please note the price I got was Fleet/Corporate with very hard bargaining thrown into the mix, so normal retail pricing wise I'm not sure what discounts can be obtained. In terms of negotiating discounts, YMMV.

Now for the hard part..... the waiting!
