      Dont bother with the options from the dealer.

      A lot of you recommend accessorising the car privately & that is what I will do.

      Thanks Brad for passing Rob @hunters hill's info. I will look him up when the time comes.

      The dealer called me today stating that he had buyers interested in both the 2nd & 3rd Passats today, but because he thinks that I am a good guy, he is willing to reduce a grand on the listed price whichever car I pick. Me being a good guy, told him politely to stick it & not call me unless he is offering atleast 10% below the listed price. He didn't seem too happy!

        In a turn of events, I came across a Metallic Grey Passat Sedan 130TDI MY14 Demo (2000 kms) for $37000 including window tints, stamp duty and 9 months rego. It still has about 2.75 years of factory warranty. I could not negotiate any harder. So put a deposit down for it.

        Finance is 6% interest + approx $1000 in a range of application, establishment fees +$5 monthly account keeping fee. There is even a penalty for repaying the loan early. The words "thieving b*****ds" comes to mind.

        What do you think guys?

          fees suck, rate isn't bad. Pity you couldn't wait to put the deposit down as its mid month, the closer to xmas and the end of month and they will discount a bit more.
          But if your happy with the car, what does it matter what we say?

            Too late as you've put a deposit down.

            Nobody forced you into the finance & it isn't a monopoly so you could have gone to another finance vendor with terms that suited you.

            eg: EnCompass Credit Union 5.55% variable $150 application fee, extra payments OK, early payout OK

            Victorian Teachers Mutual Bank - 6.54% fixed; $90 application fee, extra payments & early payout OK
