What did you pay for your Passat?

[tryingavw]

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.

ours similar, switching sat nav for sunroof and we paid 3k more. great deal.

$47000 driveaway

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

My leasing company has secured me a price of $67500 for an R36 with Nav, roof, Dynaudio and tailgate. Just have to wait for my employer to get it's act together to set it all up.

Wow!
That ain't a bad deal at all!!
I'm looking at the same options as you've got, but price given to me was waaay over yours...even with fleet discount etc. How did the company organise that deal?

Do you mind telling me which dealer it was - you can PM if you like?

BTW - do you think the Dynaudio is worth it? - I haven't heard that system yet.

How long until you get your wagon?

Cheers!

Is this price ex GST via a salary packaging arrangement with some GST payable on the residual/payout later?

No GST payable on the payout. My employer assumes responsibility for the GST component and claims it back from the ATO.
Not actually sure if the price is ex GST though. I'll check.

Novated lease arrangements usually have GST payable on the residual... at least on the 3 I've been in that has always been the case.

They deduct the GST from the purchase price, finance what's left (i.e. 10/11s), but you pay GST on the monthly lease payment and the residual on termination.

I checked my paperwork and you're correct about the GST on the residual.

However, the monthly GST is claimed back as an input credit by my employer so there's no cost to me.
