What Deals Are We Getting On MK6 GTI ?

[GolfTi]

You know what really scares me about this deal?  Even with that good discount I'm paying more for this car than I did for my first house!

A bit scary.

Money is for spending and enjoying. You can't take it with you...
You work for it - You enjoy it.

I've spent my whole adult life scrimping and saving for a 'rainy day'.
I think it's started to rain........

At that price, I'm assuming that is the DSG ?

Hang on, when you say "total price", does that include the financing?  I mean, is that the total you will pay, including interest, or the actual on-the-road price?

Rolfe.

this is for a manual - VWkev, you reckon this is a bad price?


rolfe - total price i believe is the total cash price.  the finance cost would be on top of that, but of course it is spread over 3 yrs... so time value of money and all that means that i won't really feel it.

thing is, i was originally going to get a 2nd hand Mk5 outright, but having seen the Mk6, i just think the newer car will make me a lot happier.  not having the cash i'll have to finance it.

p.s. i also got a lease quote from freedom contracts... about £1k initial payment, and £380pm thereafter for 3 yrs, 10k mileage limit.  same options as this quote.  thing is, less certainty about the value of the car at the end if you want to buy it.  PCP at least typically gives you some equity.

I've just checked, I think my initial thoughts was it was a bit high, but after checking its actually pretty much spot on. ie v.good price. Only one thing bothering me, your car + the extras work out at less than 23k from their website, why did you pay nearly £400 more ?

[keelaw]

400 quid off?  not sure... the quote i did originally is on my work laptop.  will have to check later.  can only assume that this is a "real" quote vs indicative ones on the website?  it matches off pretty well against other ones i've seen on autoebid, drivethedeal and car finance.net

p.s. to be clear, i haven't paid anything as yet... this is just a quote 

[Rolfe]

My experience suggests that the web site prices were real until the weekend or just after, when the last car was sold.  They then put that note on the page to inform people of that.  I think they ought to have updated the actual page by now, but as I said, they could be a small outfit in terms of pairs of hands, and this is only one car out of what must be many hundreds of new and used models.  Their web page is pretty amateurish too, though I'm not criticising, as it gets the job done.

Work out the list price of your specs, then see how much you're getting off.  The VW web site is great fun for specifying cars, I've played with it for a couple of hours.  I love the bit where the little paint-spray heads appear and spray the car the colour you've selected!

Rolfe.

[keelaw]

yes.  if the vw website was a bar, i'd have been kicked out by now for loitering!

the paint thing is annoying, i wish it would paint quicker!  plus it doesn't seem to show the grey's properly, though perhaps the greys are indeed like that, i.e. slightly green/ blue.



anyways, been lovely chatting to you and kev, really have to sleep now as work tomo.... have to pay for this dream car somehow!!

[Rolfe]

Wow, I just checked the DealDrivers page again,and as well as the note about the GTi prices no longer being valid, there is one saying no more scrappage from Volkswagen dealers!  Like, none!  Not even on a basic Polo, apparently!

I think I was luckier than I knew with that Verve deal!
