2015 Polo GTI, what are you paying?

[Hail22]

Except in the $33K they sell it for there there's $3K of GST, so that really means $30K net. They will most likely have to do a full detail inside and out, bring any service items up to date, provide something for warranty, pay floor plan on it if they have it over month end and pay commission to whoever sells it. Bottom line probably around $1500 profit for the dealer ie; 5% or so margin.

Your reply is almost exactly what most DPs whinge at strong armed purchasers, perhaps you should be honest with us if you're a dealer or represent any vested interest in Volkswagen Australia?

I actually appreciated the alternative point of view.... I totally forgot the tax man also wants to get rich for nothing. Bloodsuckers

34.9k with window tint

I love it when there's only two options What price could you wrangle?

Yeh it's always nice when there are less option but then again some of these should be standard. But since I don't mind any of the included items but I want a sunroof and sensors I only have one option.

Not too bad...I got quoted $36806 for a manual, no metallic paint, no tint with both Driver assist and Luxury packages, dealer would not budge. Ironically VW Website quotes $36530 MRDP.

JGolf, did you go interstate or buy in Canberra?

Nah not interstate but yes that's what I was quoted as well.

Was at North Shore VW in Sydney last Friday and their Polo GTI price list had the the dealer delivery marked up at $3490
That's a grand over VWA RDP which ain't cheap in the first instance.

Clarification, I don't work for or have any interest in any car company or car dealership, new or used. I do currently work with a number of race teams on suspension, car set up and race strategy plus I carry out team and pit training for several other race teams. None of those teams races or has ever raced a VW, although one does have an Audi R8LMS. None of the teams are sponsored or supported by VW or a VW Dealer. I have previously worked and consulted for Whiteline designing springs, swaybars and alignment products. As well as 4 years in the 90's working for Jaguar, Rover, Land Rover, Range Rover, Peugeot and Honda on new car specification for Australia.

Obviously I'm pretty familiar with the car industry, mostly aftermarket and particularly suspension.

Back on pricing.

Is $29k drive away for a base manual a good price?

I feel if I wait I may get a demo with lux pack for that money and then again if demand continues my theory might not pan out.

Opinions?

[YellowLemon]

demo with lux pack for that money.... Opinions?

Hmm I would say unlikely to get demo with lux pack for 29, lots of people would jump on one of those I think?

Have a look at what Golf 103 TSi highlines demo's are selling for - list price is about the same ($35k on road) and they aren't much less than $32k for '14 plated vehicles.
