Polo GTI Pricing and Specifications Thread

[Corey_R]

Fair enough - just be nice in how you approach it. The dealer may honestly not have an answer for you and be just as frustrated as you are.

[yellow_cake]

they may know their allocation but maybe they dont know whether or not the people who made it in for 2011 will still want their car. coz my dealer gave me the chance to opt-out of the deal... sif to that. so you might get lucky and have someone cancel their order

[GTI JOE]

All I can say is...Go Country. City dealers, I would imagine, are all out for this year....that's what I did

[Jules]

I agree. I picked up our Polo GTI from Dubbo, who also had a white 5 door sitting there unallocated. I work a lot in various country towns and have visited the VW dealers to see what they have. As of last week, Port Macquarie had a red 5 door with Comfort and MDI unallocated in their showroom, and Lismore had a red 5 door, having just sold a silver and a red 3 door that came in unallocated.

Country dealers order cars too- just less of a competitive market out there. Ask nicely and they'll fly you up one way

Another thumbs up for the country dealer option! I got my red 5dr with no options last week from Shepparton, Vic dealer. Can't wipe the grin off my face each time I drive to work.

How much out of interest?

[GTI JOE]

I got mine for $32400 driveaway in Mildura

[melbournedee]

5dr - no options $30,990 drive away

[crumbs]

Two pretty darn good deals... makes mine look fairly average.

~$33550 for 3dr black/audio/sunroof.

got a call from my dealer today. im one of the lucky 4 that got an allocation. he said that if you wanted to buy one today, you'd have to wait til the end of 2012 =S wowsas

If you wait until 2012 for a Polo GTI, you have rocks in your head!!!!

That is all....

I'm being told dealerships are now aware of 2011 allocations, and they know how many GTIs they've got on order. So it's simple. If they were allocated 4 GTIs and mine was the 8th on order (for example), I'm entitled to know so I can decide what to do.

If I didn't make this year's allocation, they might be inclined to play dumb to prevent me from cancelling my order. If they've been given their allocations, then they should be able to cross check with how many orders they have and give me a rough idea of what's going on.

Crumbs, dealers got their allocation for 2nd quarter builds only, they will get another one later on for 3rd qtr and so on. PM sent regarding availability.....

I was told that my car will arrive in Oct/Nov as I was the second to order. I was originally told an eta of june/july. I have no info other then the comm number at this point. Should I be seeing proof or do I just take there word for it again

[William_Foster]

To those wanting a GTI quickly; my dealer told me today they have a 5 Door GTI in white with a comfort pack, sunroof and bi-xenons due to arrive in May 2011 with no home to go to. If you are interested give Jason in Hobart a call on 0400 651 661.

[No, I have nothing to do with the dealership; I was just finalising my car which is due to arrive next week and thought I would ask if they had any cars on order for the benefit of my fellow forum members]

[burned]

ugh. i'm beyond peeved at the moment. Ordered back in mid December, was initially told June delivery (i was aware that June was optimistic). Called my dealer 2 weeks ago and he said it will more likely be sept/oct (fair enough). I then saw a couple of guys in here with similar specs to me (CW 3dr sunroof/xenons) getting theirs in may/june so clearly VW are doing a white/xenon/sunroof production run soon and i got my hopes up. Called the dealer principal today and he said to me that it is more than likely that i'm going to be waiting till 2012.. yes 2012. That is dead set a joke. i knew i'd be in for a wait but more than 12 months for a fricken polo?!? i know the gti is an awesome car but its not 12+ month wait awesome! At least the DP wasn't a douche by being honest about it. I know its not their fault.

Obviously looking at other cars not but nothing is as good value as the polo gti. Thinking ds3 Dsport, base megane sport, giulietta QV. All more expensive and lower resale.. so its lose lose Mini: too common; Golf: not waiting. Thoughts?

Honestly I don't know why they are still advertising any of the polo models. more advertising = more orders that won't be fulfilled = more furious customers who won't consider vw again.

I was looking forward to joining the club too..

FYI My polo was fully specced bar the el cheapo pleather seats for $35k.

Burned; take a look around the country there are cars available like the one I just mentioned, they just aren't in Sydney or Melbourne as VW apparently has a new ordering system which means that all dealers are forced to share the allocation.

By the way. car transport costs even across the country are pretty cheap!
