New Passat 206TSI R-Line

[Wynnston]

All going well, I pick my White Sedan with S/Roof up on Tuesday. I got a reasonable deal. I think they took a hit on trading my Tiguan but softened it by giving me less of a discount. The only dealer fitted stuff I got was tint.

I know the exhaust isn't sporty, but doesn't the thing open some flaps in sport mode to sound a little meatier?

I think it does... The sales guy at the dealership said that, and demonstrated the difference in exhaust sound between Eco and Sport modes.

Yeah, a bit of googling says it does. I know the Golf R has a louder exhaust, but it also has a fake sound generator for more aural pleasure in the cabin, as where the Passat just has a moderate exhaust without the sound generator.

Hey chopper, so you pretty much paid next to nothing (or $10 to be exact) for dealer delivery and other ORC?

I don't pay those fees (see my previous posts on the topic.)! I had a few other extras fitted, so in reality, I guess I actually paid less than retail.

Doh! Didn't know that was possible! even having a mates friend in a dealer I couldn't get it that good!

So 800km in these are the worst wheels I have ever cleaned, loving it otherwise

There seems to be a flappy thing in the outside pipe on each side posted a picture a week or so ago

What did they sting you for, if you don't mind me asking? My rule is, always, always, always make RRP your drive-away price. The dealer can always absorb the on road costs from their margin! Their profit is generally based on volume... profit on the car is cream to them.

Agreed! I'm glad I'm not the only one. They pressure wash pretty well though.

From what I read on the Superb brochure, it has Progressive steering. I actually prefer the Superb seats
Anyway, I have made up my mind, I'm buying a fully loaded Superb Sedan today

Fair enough. I drove both over here in NZ and Superb didn't have the steering as first corner I took I ended up on the other side of the road. Used to it in the VRS Octavia so when you don't have it it is quite noticeable. VW definitely has it.

That's OK... I've heard of worse!

Hey guys, just joined up to say hey hey.

I'm picking up my 206 wagon, white, with the sunroof in about 2 weeks...

So pumped!

[Mr_206]

Hey guys im looking at a Passat 206 sedan, got a price of a $61,500 with sunroof and metalic paint. This is just the corp. pricing discount. What are people negotiating on these driveaway? Is around $57k achievable?

Also I cannot believe this car with all the bells and whistles does not come with DAB+ radio!!! Not happy about that! Its available overseas but not here! Even the Dynoaudio sound system!! Not happy

[Dutch77]

With Vic onroads I reckon you'd be doing well at $60k - and anything under $59k would be an end of month quote special.

Re: wheels - if you're looking at a quality coat for the paintwork I'd get them to do the wheels as well. I had Opticoat on my OZ ST LMs and while it was a touch fiddly, all brake dust just wiped straight off.

[Mr_206]

will try for under $60k... see how i go.. not in a rush for the car so can wait!

Whats the avg fuel usage like? How many kms to a tank people getting?
