$26,990 drive away including tint for a March 07 build bought in June 07 from Highway VW. With little effort or haggling.

Sydney VW

Hi Guys,

I'm in the market of getting myself a Golf GTi Automatic 5 doors (i'm sharing the car with my wife)

i went into VW Mascot in sydney today to test drive one and loved it!

So my quest has began to search for the best price.

The guy at VW mascot is the nicest sales person i have ever met but so far the price i was given is way over compared to some of the users getting on this forum

The price he quoted me for Golf GTi - white colour with all the standard for around $46k (if i'm not wrong but its around $40k - $46k)

Obviously thats 20k more than what you guys pay!

So if it is not too much trouble, could you please point me to the right place to get the Golf?

South Yarra in Melb seem to offer good price, so i may have to go down and buy one and drive back if i cant get the same deal in Sydney.

Cheers
BigMan

bigman - the reason why your price is 20k more is because we bought polo gti's not golfs.

golfs are more expensive for a reason, bigger car, bigger engine, better performance.

If your after a polo, i got mine for 28k in december - haggled him down from 31.5k. i thought that was pretty reasonable

Thanks MissVuks, i feel sooooo silly now.

I cant believe i didnt notice the different

Is the look of both car same?

Ok i googled it and found out that Polo Gti only come in 3drs, is that correct?

I'm shattered..

[MissVuks]

thats correct 3dr only and only come in manual..

thats okay - its an easy mistake to make

[shaneth]

hey bigman, yes the look is similar (polo is better looking) and unfortunatly they only come in 3 door in OZ.

i'm so at the moment as i thought i found the perfect car for me (something sporty but dont look like jap sports car).

its a shame they dont have 5drs auto in australia. i think i might have to get suzuki swift YUK!~

[shaneth]

mate go the ford xr4 or are they only 3dr
hell id go the ralliart colt over swift

[VW GTI]

Look at one of the 2 Fiat cars with the T-Jet engine. Ritmo? They are under 30k I think.

[PogoAmy]

FWIW, I'd rather walk on my hands than own another Suzuki Swift Sport. Rubbish car.

They're also manual only, anyway.

Cheers!

Im with you on that one PogoAmy - swifts ugh vomit material LOL

[xposdu]

November 2006 i bought my car, not options, 26k flat driveaway. Was basement price back then without the dealer going into holdback.

i third this notion. it looks to be made of such cheap parts (well...it is suzuki) that are about to fall off all over the road. the car also looks out of proportion and does not appear to sit well on the road. throw a 1.6L N/A 4CYL in it (far from a 'sports' engine) and you have an underpowered japanese bodykit on wheels.

JUST MY TWO PSI !!

don't tell Mitch_GTI this....he used to work for suzuki and loves these things

[PeterHBne]

As a Suzuki Swift GTi owner from '89 (the original squairsh car - and loved it to bits), can I state that Suzies have a deserved reputation as been unbreakable, simple cars that are great value for money.

I drove the Sport when working out what to buy and will say it was dissapointing - it should have been a better car.

However it is not the worst thing on wheels.

If I didn't buy the Polo, Ralliart Colt would have been next. Compromised in some areas but fun - and handles better than the Polo.
