Polo GTI Pricing and Specifications Thread

[burned]

thanks william unfortunately I'd really like a 3 door! Its the first new car that I'm buying (i'm 22) so I want to look exactly like my desktop background lol. the 5 door doesn't look sporty enough for me. This is my background by the way... thats all my car may ever be given the circumstances! VW Polo GTI breaks cover

BTW - why are some dealers being MoFo's and putting gti's up on carsales and only at the very end of the description they say "not for sale". why bother putting it up there? you're going to get some sucker to test drive it, order one and then tell them they have a 1 year wait!

^^becasue they get to use the deposit money that the suckers hand over

That seems like a reasonable price, add about $1k for rego etc and it will be about $35.5k. Not a great deal but ok if ur impatient. Thankfully I'm patient
Still means a June delivery tho, maybe even july

Just so we don't have any upset people here... yes, whilst it may be about $1k for rego (specifically $312 for registration, ~$451 for CTP and $92 for plates), you're forgetting about the 3% stamp duty. 3% of $34,500 is $1,035

So in other words... "add about $2k for rego etc and it will be about $36.5k"

Awesome Dermot. Only thing is my order also included the sunroof, integrated bluetooth and rear sensors for $35.5 (on road). Can any of these options be fitted locally (other than sunroof)? Is there any room for price negotiation? How much is the freight cost to get from WA (i'm curious)?

Thanks for the heads up

[walbjj]

Ok, sounds like that price is actually pretty crap then. Guess I'll move along now

Hey Dermot, great to have a dealer involved in the forum, especially a local .

Was just wondering if it is possible for you to look up the NADCON screen for anyones orders, or just your own?

Cheers.

We just ordered a Candy White, Bi-Xenon, Light and Vision Pack 5 door yesterday eta July in NZ - guess we will wait and see.

Burmed - re your other options - we drove all those (and more) when looking this time - the DS3 DSport was a close run thing, it's a sweet drive, I didn't think the interior quality or resale was worth the NZ$42k sticker tho.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post - apologies if I got it wrong.

Has anyone had any experience with the Kufatec Fiscon Plus bluetooth sloution in a new Polo GTI with the RCD510?

As far as I can tell it does pretty much everything the VW offering does yet has better phone compatibility and is cheaper.

An comments or alternate recommendations appreciated.

Hey Frostee,
I think this may be useful http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f78/...nce-34935.html

[Frostee]

Good stuff, thank you! Looks pretty good to me

[GTI JOE]

Wonder how many more dealers such as Dermot and Australia wide will have extra cars available through cancelled orders???

[Tigga1]

Just ordered Candy White 3-dr, no options, for $29893 drive away, expected delivery July...

GTI Joe, thanks for PM, by the time I got back to salesperson, car had already sold and was told none for 12 mths.
Ended up ringing around in my neck of the woods and secured this one, still was able to change colour.

cheers

No problems Tigga1, that's a pretty good price, hope all goes well. We have had reports, no, more like rumours, that there may be delays. Hopefully we should know this week if this is true, the last thing we need is VGA to start jerking us around......again, so fingers crossed for the moment

[Tigga1]

Dealer told me he is not even allowed to take any orders for Golf GTD, Golf Gti and Polog Gti in short supply...
I remember something similar when MKV Gti first came out, took about a year for supply to come back to normal, vaguely remember VGA getting an extra shipment to Oz.
Anyway, not too worried, hopefully get the car before Dec...!
meanwhile happy to keep driving my tiguan...(-:
