Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but while I was on the UK configurator just now I notice a highlighted VW price slash.... I guess more pre-facelift firesale.
Not that you'll get a factory build now, but if you want one from stock...

Does anyone know how you can how you can access these offers on the Golf R?
Is it just a matter of contacting the dealers and seeing what they have got?

Yes just go into your dealer. Don't be afraid to ask for more off too.

In August my mum and dad did a factory order which they collected early October.
Golf GTI 5 door Manual
Onyx White
Performance Pack
19inch Wheels
Reverse Camera
High Beam Assist Privacy glass
They paid £23800
Great Deal
-
That is a crackin deal :smiley:
-
I got £2300 off list, plus the £2000 deposit contribution...

Get in contact ASAP with me or your local dealer. I reckon by the end of the week all the current stock MK7 stock will be gone. The only stuff left will be obscure trims and colour combos
Golf R's are becoming very difficult to get hold of, I spoke to a customer today and he had a spent a solid 8 days trying to get one with the new discount with no joy. He was over the moon when he spoke to me and I found him one today.

Nice spec on the demo, evo add in rear camera and car net and you have my perfect Golf R.
Would really like a Reflex Silver R 3 door but can not find one anywhere.

Moved my post to another thread.

I think the promo started just before Xmas.
I was just flicking through the VW website whilst bored at work and noticed the front page had changed but the way it was worded was a bit ambiguous saying £3250 off Golfs then mentioned the service pack underneath along with the PCP discount on that. I can see why it was worded that way to still tempt people into PCP's but it made it look on casual acquaintance that it was just a better PCP offer to clear the decks. More so that it shows a Match or whatever model so I didn't take too much notice.
I think it wasn't until after Xmas that the actual configurator made it clearer that the discounts were off cash or PCP or HP or whatever means of purchase.
I ran a quick scroll through Orangewheels and hey presto - a GTI 5 door with £6.5k off and no mention of PCP only, so no doubt an even better deal available through DTD.
The only flip side of the deal is if you need a part ex price on a car is that those prices are rock bottom in January, but if your car won't be with you until March or April you might see a slightly better price depending on the model and demand once CAP prices recover bit. From previous cars I've owned there has been over £500 difference in CAP value between January and March once the market picks up in Spring.
There are bargains to be had right now if you're not overly fussy, and as Lee says, if you can actually get hold of a car.
I don't know when production actually stops but I do know FL (non performance Golfs) production is imminent.

I casually dropped into Arnold Clark last Saturday, they found a new GTI in Reflex Silver (standard spec 5 dr manual) still at factory, available for first reg on 1 March 17 and reserved it.
Offered me £5,000 off full list price so I got it for £23,300, no strings attached.
Bizarrely, I wanted a Silver car and never expected them to turn one up. I could hardly refuse at that point :wink:
Offered reasonable guaranteed trade-in price on my current Mk7 DBP GTI which I had not planned to change for another year. So no change to trade in value already agreed.
Result....on 1 March I will pick up my new factory fresh GTI 6 weeks after paying my £300 deposit on Monday.
PS : on the subject of FL models, I reckon a plummeting pound and a hard brexit can only push prices up or specs down in 2017. I also think the purity of the pre FL MK7 is much nicer than the FL...especially round the front of the car. This made me decide I wanted a pre-FL in any event and in final NAV spec it is just about ideal.

I understand that the deals just now on pre FL cars are not to be sniffed at but it still amazes me the number of people who trade their car in after 2-3 years for basically the exact same car perhaps with a couple of extra options. I honestly think I would be bored after 6 months with the same car

I guess it depends on whether you own the car or have a lease/pcp deal. If you have one of these, you need to move on after 3 years.
As for being bored.... If I find a car I am totally happy with, I'll have another. Why risk being stuck with something that either isn't as good or is just plain terrible? I'd kick myself more for that.
For me its not because its a Golf, I am no fanatic, this is the first one I've had. I'm definitely after another, the FL gives me a chance for it to be slightly different, but if the timing wasn't what what it is, I'd have just rolled into one pretty much the same as the one I have now, maybe even the same colour.

Me too...done this twice before on the original Audi TT Roadster (225 to V6) and Vauxhall Vectra (1.8 to 2.5V6). In both cases, once the performance hit had worn off I thought I was still in the old car and didn't keep either of the replacements that long.

mmmm, I understand the point but.....
I observe many forum members are on their second, third or fourth GTI.
Many say the car offers them a blend of qualities they presumably can't find elsewhere, despite GTIs and derivatives being more expensive than the competitition.
Yes, £23K net can find lots of other new cars that will take you from A to B and back.
If you like a GTI then that's what you want. :whistle:

Don't get me wrong I'm not in any way criticising, it's just my feelings. The same applies swapping a GTD for a GTI, the small difference in performance wouldn't be enough to hold my attention for any length of time. Moving to an R I can understand as it's on a different level to both the GTD/GTI and certainly the facelift is an interesting proposition as it provides new features which have not been seen before.

I did that, had my first 320d M-Sport in 2013, covered 110k effortless miles. Test drove the competition and ordered exactly the same car again on a '16 plate albeit with the LCi upgrade and very happy.
If you find a car which meets your needs better the devil you know IMO.
