What did you pay for your Passat?

[slitko]

I ordered the car on the day it was released in Australia(had to wait 5 months though ) with:

2.0FSI Model, Leather+Memory Seats, SatNva, BiXenons, Pearl Paint, 5 years VW warranty.

At that time it came to $59K on the road. I am sure could do much better deal now though

I just got the official paperwork from my dealer..
R36 Sedan
CD Changer
RNS510 Sat Nav
Dynaudio
Bluetooth Kit
Euro Plates
$76,642

Even though it's a non discounted price I'm quite happy that it is well under my original estimates of 81k

Update, I just found out that I am eligible for a 10% discount because the company I work for has a VW Corporate discount.
This is an absolute bonus, as this drops the price down to 68k

Time to up the km per year targets

Lucky you!

I get no such discount

[TDIMAN]

06 build, 07 compliant,103kw TDI, Sliver, Leather, mud flaps, bonnet protector, towbar and sunroof. Paid $50,500. I though this was pretty good considering the local dealer quoted be over 55K

[Deep Black]

08 Passat Wagon, 125 KW TDI, Deep Black PE Paint, Leather Seat (Inc. Floor Mates), Fog Lights, Tinted Windows, Boot Tray and Rubber Floor Mates. To be delivered next week. SA rego for 12 months.
$52060 Drive away.

How much...

Took delivery of my 125kW Mocha Pearl effect TDi wagon yesterday.

Optioned with Leather, memory seats, alarm, fog lights, sunroof, tint, mud spats and bonnet/headlight protectors. Oh and electric tailgate.

Drive away $52k with the fleet discount as it is my Co. vehicle through a leasing company.

Took it for a 300km run south of Perth and back this morning after setting up the seat and mirror memories etc for the wife and I (she-who-must-be-obeyed being a foot shorter than me). The trip computer might be a little off (I have read that most people say the figure indicates a little better compared with their manual calcs), but it is currently showing 6.2l/100km average consumption, with about 70/30 highway/city split.

I gave it a few squirts (not too high revs) and it just felt like it wanted to go! I am very, very pleased. It has a comfortably firm ride quality (stepping from a new Berlina into this is a PLEASURE - felt like I was on a trampoline in the Holden). No rattles or knocks of any concern (radio off most of the time to listen out). The only thing a little suss is the outisde temp gauge, which has only moved from 15.5-18DegC since I picked the car up. Loose connection perhaps?

If you are in Perth, I have read a lot of positive reports about the guys at Osborne Park VW. My leasing company purchased the car from John Hughes VW in Victoria Park and I can only give positive feedback about the two guys I dealt with here. Both Jamie and Richard know their stuff and I found them to be honest and easy to deal with. Go take a look here too. Competition is good for the consumer!!

Now, I wonder how that AVC9000 would look in place of the std radio??

How tempting............. Oh the Humanity, can you imagine what the haters would say, another VAG in the villiage

[KWICKS]

What's one more Breno

[gead]

i have heard that you can get an r36 for $66K driveaway provided it's in stock....not sure what options that comes with....

Yeah that sounds about right buit the ones I have seen for those prices have no options at all. Otherwise I would have bought one already

For mine, here's a straight copy of the paperwork. Ex demonstrator, with 5256km on the odo when I collected it.

Volkswagen MY08 Passat 2.0 TDI DSG 125kW 2.0l 4d Wagon Auto Dsl

Base car: $42,718.18
Options:
Fog lights $445.45
Sunroof $1809.09
Towbar $1501.00
Steering wheel paddles, leather, window tint - no charge.
Fleet discount $3216.36
Dealer delivery $2722.73 (not happy about that much).
Rego $588.63
Stamp Duty $1568.77
LCT - Nil
Security rego fee (lease cost) $15

Total price financed $49,047.49

And the best part - payroll haven't deducted any lease payments yet.. so it's cost me nothing (yet... until they try to catch up 3 months in one hit).

Running costs aren't too bad either - I'm easily getting better than 6.7l/100km (the stated average) for doing about 60/40 open road/city driving.

The biggest catch now - it'll be going on another Melbourne - Newcastle trip over Christmas, and I can't see me doing 3000km before Christmas for the service, so I might have to get it done up there, if there's a place open...

Good choice - we had a TDI wagon while waiting for the R36. Are there different categories of fleet discounts? We got 10% with a reduced dealer delivery of $995 without any negotiation when I bought mine in August.

thats what i got as well...unexpected but most welcome

Ok just signed this deal on Saturday. It'll be our first new car. Phew, bit steep but I hope it will be worth it.

Here's what I got:

MY09 Passat Wagon
125kw 2.0l TDI
White
Black Leather
Electric Seats
Electric Sunroof
BiXenon Lights
Park Assist
Auto Tailgate
Window Tinting
12 Months Rego

Paid $55,500 drive away.

We got a corporate discount because of my wife's professional membership (10% off RRP for car + reduced dealer delivery). We also then bargain a little bit more.

It's being built in early March 09 and will arrive around May 09. It'll be a very long wait.
