In the market for a new Polo GTI

[Blue-Bear]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the VW scene, having come from a Honda.

I'm currently in the market for a Polo GTi in sydney, any recommendations for good dealers?

Also, what did you guys pick it up driveaway for?

I'm looking to get one with the sunroof option, but i'm still deciding on the colour, be either white, red or black

Any tips when going to buy the car?

Cheers guys!

Hi Blue-Bear,

I picked my GTI up last week, Candy White with leather for $31,500 drive away.

Re the colour, go the white (not that I'm biased or anything )

Im in Newcastle so can't give you any ideas re dealers in Sydney so will leave that for others to advise.

Great car, you wont regret it.

Well if you're only option is the sunroof (no leather) you should be able to meet your budget fairly easily.

So far the car is going great - only 500Kms atm so yet to give it a good run. Might have to go for a cruise this weekend.

I stepped up from a 2000 SSS Nissan Pulsar and am more than happy with the upgrade to VW....don't think I would buy a Japanese car again.

ahh, with the driveaway it all includes the dealer delivery etc?

sounds great!

i wonder how much the servicing costs would be on a VW compared to a jap car?

Yep, drive away price covers everything (rego, dealer delivery blah blah blah....)

Not sure on the service costs as haven't got there yet. Would imagine dealer service would be quite a bit more than other places however.

sweet!

time to go shopping for one, might get it in the white, though the red and black look really tempting!

any idea on fuel consumption on these things?

Haha...that will depend on your right foot ...and the car seems to keep tempting you to give it a good squirt

My Mother was tempted by a Black Polo GTI last week with leather which she wants

It was 1 yr old for $28K had done 30K though.

I picked up a Black one last month, no leather or sunroof for just over $29k.
So in regards to dollars, I think if you bring it down to $30,500 for black, or $30,000 for white/red you will have a reasonable deal with a sunroof.

If you are happy with either of the colours, I would ring around and ask if they have one sitting AT the dealer, and give them your price over the phone saying you would buy it straight away - you might find that they will take it - but be careful that you dont get stuck with an 06 build / 07 compliance plate.

When I was looking, there seemed to be a few red ones about, but no black ones or white ones - no offence to the red buyers!

Good luck mate, hope you get a dealer who looks after you well!

[phaeton]

I guess its upto you

If however you spot a used/demo one with right specs may be worth buying it

Tip: Also buy one with VW Warranty for the just in case situations or in last year of 3 yr standard VW warranty, you can also purchase 1 or 2yrs extended warranties
