Hi,
I've just ordered a Mk6 GTI from my local dealer.
3 door dsg in tornado red,black leather,18" wheels,ACC, winter pack and luxury pack.
Should cost £26865 but got it for £24575, I'm happy with that.

Haven't driven one yet but I know it will be good.
Delivery in September some time?

That's quite a reasonable saving. Good work!

Managed to get £1295 of the price of a new Mk6 from a dealer.

Test drive was brilliant, I really liked the ACC and the cabin, seats are classic. The mk6 seemed better in
most respects (slightly) - the car looked gorgeous.
Lack of turbo whistle and door sill logo though.

The dealer wouldn't offer any discount while I was in the showroom so I left them with my best offer (6% ish).
They phoned back about 3 weeks later and said they had some 'new figures' for me.
I went in the next day to place my order.
I'm trading in my mk5 GTI (which I love dearly).

I think the price you pay depends on whether the dealer has sold their allocation or not and how long you are prepared to wait.
I did look at some of the internet brokers but didn't want to wait 6-9 months.

Mk6 is due Sept 1st.
Deep black, manual, 5dr, ACC, winter pack, cloth (leather is just too cold or hot for me and I WANT the jacara tartan).
 

Mk7 GTI. DBP, DCC, Winter pack. Mine since new, July 2013.
GTI no. 4. Golf no. 5.  VW no. 7.

Congrats, I originally wanted leather, then when I saw the seats I loved them too, then when I saw the leather I thought it just looked much more classy especially with the colour of the car. I couldn't make my mind up for a while.

From the "Blue Graphite" thread.

OK, deal done!  Been on the blower to Verve, paid the deposit by debit card, and we're on the move.

VW Golf GTi Mk VI
5-door
Blue graphite
DSG
ACC
Sun roof
Winter pack
Luxury pack
Flat tyre indicator

£22,500 on the road, including scrappage on R-reg Peugeot 306 GTi-6.

I've probably got a couple of weeks to change my mind on the specifications, but I don't think I will.  The cloth upholstery is actually quite classy, and £1,675 is a lot of money.

That is actually £3,995 below list price, and the car I'm scrapping is only worth £500 to £600 on a good day (and when the dealer valued it he didn't know about the dead aircon, the leaky sunroof, the passenger seat that behaves like a fairground ride or the clutch slipping out of the odd-numbered gears), and due for a service - which it is not now going to get.  If we take the faults into consideration then the car may be worth little more than the cost of the service!

I have this forum to thank for getting such a good deal, and I'm extremely grateful.   :kiss:

Rolfe.

And I thought 5-6% was good.

Was this at a main VW dealer?

How do you calculate the discount when the scrappage scheme is involved?

If you ignore the fact that the deal is also going to relieve me of an almost worthless car as well, I got 15.1%.

If you subtract the £1,000 that the government contributes to the transaction then I got 11.3%.

If you completely ignore the entire £2000 of the scrappage deal then I still got 7.5%.

And yes it was a VW main dealer, Verve.
