Good deal/Bad deal
« on: 30 March 2010, 10:16 »
Hello guys,

After several years in the wilderness, Saab's, Audi's, last VW being a MKII, I have placed my order for the GTi at the weekend.  Been reading the forum for a bit now and came across this....http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=145367.msg1326742#msg1326742

Goes into the cost of the new MkVI.  Seems like you all got good deals and I'm worried that I haven't!

Spec:
5 door
Deep Black Pearl
18" Monza's (obviously)
510 stereo
Parking Sensors (got used to them on existing car.  Must have)
Lux Pack
Rear Air bags (kids)
Tyre Pressure Alert

Coming in at £27,000.  Some of you guys have got leather, zenons, et al for that!
Should I be looking for another dealer??

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers

Well that isn't technically a "deal" as I just speced up your model on the VW website and it came in at £27,290.00. a £290 saving which when you consider your spending 27k isnt really a lot.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if VW are doing money off / deals etc on the GTI. Im sure one of the MK6 boys that have bought one recently will be able to let you know.

It's going to be hard work getting the dealer to discount a new GTI.

I managed to get the dealer to come down by almost 2k only because i threatened to go to a dealer in London who had a partnership with a broker.

Have a word with Dealdrivers and see what discount they can offer. I know Keelaw has used them on this forum and was very happy.

£290 off ?  :grin: sorry not laughing at you, I'm laughing at the stealer that was sitting at home last night rubbing his hands at the huge commission he will be getting.

Go back to them, and cancel it, goto a different dealer.

A lot of course may depend on when you want the car.

I'd imagine what you've provided relates to a factory order and maybe that being the case someone like a broker could get you a better price.

BAD

There are lots of brokers out there that will get you a much better deal.
dealdrivers, coasttocoastcars, broadspeed, autoebid etc ......

If you don't want to use one of these then get a quote off their website and then take it to the dealers and negotiate a bigger discount.

I got a £2,500 discount and missed the January price increases. I'm sure you should get at least £2000 off now.

Regards

Good Luck.

I phoned 5 dealers without bargaining I asked there best price (my lease co would buy it)...

The most stupid one was € 300 euro discount (I do not know how much of your monopoly money that is, but I reckon not a lot  :evil:) and the best one was € 3300 euros discount......11 times more discount for the same car with the same specs etc....I know it drives you crazy... :angry:


Oh yes and AFTERWARDS they can suddenly all do the same deal....no thanks...I am not interested.... :grin:

Just been on to UK Car Broker and sent them the details.  About to call Dealdrivers.  Just looking on their website and it appears there's a £2000 saving.  Sounds promising  :smiley:  As Fanters says, there are lots out there.  Need to charge my phone by the looks of it...

Dealer sold it to me stating that it is a "niche" model and they have limited profit margins on them.  3% he says.  Sounded very convincing. Liked the guy as well... :angry:

Thanks for the advice.  I'll keep you updated.

Cheers

Hi
For what its worth, as at least youve already avoided being ripped off by VW, but I got 10% off (car and extras) with carfile.net, and didn't have to give them a penny (vw give them a £150 fee per referral) and they were great, only snag was going to Telford to get the car (from Bradford), so not a problem, and more fun than paying 150quid for a trailer or some pikie to race it up the M6!

Think that was about 2500 I saved and that was back in June 2009, must be more savings now.

I could not get a discount though the dealer gave me a grand more than other VW dealers were offering. It also has to be remembered that a price increase went through as well as a vat rise in January
