2010 Polo Drive Away Prices. Share what you ended up paying.

FTR...so did we, but at least I declared my deal. You haven't posted yours yet.

I wasn't aiming to gloat about pricing, don't see the point to be honest. Just commenting on the fact you said there wasn't more than $500 off the RRP. It is misleading to people who are going to negotiate on a new purchase.

Dave....I don't want this to go into a "he said....they said" issue. And I am not trying to have the last word.

I didn't say that there wasn't more than $500 off rrp for the delaer.

What I said was...there is only $500 in it for the dealer. If the dealer chooses to go harder on the discount (in your favour) they are obviously making some of it back through accessories or hoping to get it back through continued customer service (further sales, or servicing of the vehicle/s). I don't think that is misleading.

As for gloating, I certainly am not doing any of that. Others may have. The thread has asked "Share what you are paying".

My news for the day? Our Polo is not due until end of November now. Not happy....but what can you do? Wish I was in Sydney, where it seems you can walk into a dealership late July, order the same spec as us, and be told it will be available early September. That pi$$e$ me off.

Uh oh, did my purchase become the topic of hate now? I didn't know until the day after i got my VIN/Shipping number that most of you guys have purchased your vehicle 8-10 weeks ago.

News however for you my dealer says the main reason why those areas may not have so many cars was due to not purchasing many slots, this may be due to the fact that the past polo didn't have that WOW factor and sell much the dealership i have bought from purchased 30 slots. (Steve you mentioned this in the other topic so credit to you for bringing it up, i just followed it up for you guys with my dealer)

Another answer with that november date, it is due to the fact that the cars with the premium/touch screen audio pack have a back log due to not having enough parts/high demand for that main option.

All good mate, not trying to start a **** fight. I doubt the dealers would take a hit on a new release to get sales and make it up on extras given there is no stock to move anyway.

I'm hoping ours turns up on early so I've got a car to get around in finally! My last update was.
"Entry Dealer System" is 12/05/10 (aka ordered)
"Handover to Production" is 02/06/10
"Checkpoint 8 Handover to Sales" is 29/07/10
"Arrival at Final Destination" is 31/08/10

Another answer with that november date, it is due to the fact that the cars with the premium/touch screen audio pack have a back log due to not having enough parts/high demand for that main option.

It is possible that people getting quicker deliveries have just chosen a spec already in the system. When we ordered, there was one already coming that didn't have the comfort pack. Dealer tried to get it added but it was too late in the cycle to add the option and had to do it from scratch.

Hi all...visited the local dealer on the weekend and was talking about the new GTI...he said he didn't know too much about it however he said it was listed on the latest price list from VW...$26,990 plus charges so he said about $31,000 driveaway

[Allegiance]

Any info on options?

Not at this stage - he admitted that he didn't know anything about it - if you go to the uk volkswagen site though you can customise one online and that will show you the options available (though whether or not they will be available here is another story)

Signed my Polo TSi today at Ian Boettcher Motors Bundamba, added Comfort Package, Metallic Paint, and Alarm.
$23639. Did anyone go with the Fusion Protection Package? it isn't cheap at 2k but there throwing in free Tint, which usually adds $300 to the price. I'm wondering if its something thats popular or just one of those expenisve accessories that isn't worth buying.

Protection pack = save your money its a rip off...

[Allegiance]

Say no to them, they will keep discounting it/offering free things. Means you can get a good deal if you want to go with it.

[ChristopherJ]

Thanks for the comments, decided not to go with it, can always look at that sort of thing down the track if I want.
One feature I liked is the ability to order a personalised plate through the dealer, was going to look at one anyway, this way its on the car come delivery time.

I rang a dealer to ask if there were any N9 Polo Gti's around..... none here in QLD but said there were 3 , 1VIC, 1NSW 1WA.

That is most likely the RRP for the current GTI

[Hail22]

The new GTI would most likely range to around 34-35k this is just a guesstimate of the old figures to the new pricing models released (remember we have gone through many market changes, GFC, price increase in metals, components etc)
