Despite over £2.5k of options I got mine less than list with paint protection and three years servicing thrown in...... (Equivalent to approx £3.5k discount I'd say)

 As others have said go to a few websites like carwow and drivethedeal, get some quotes and then pop down your local and ask them to match. They will probably say no but be patient and they'll come back to you with something close!!

I'm also in Kent GTI_Jeff, can you tell me which dealer this was with, thanks pal?

Hi Guys,

Im new to the Forum. I have beeb to test drive a GTD at my local dealer who is insistent they dont need to discount the car as it will sell all day long.

I was wondering what dealer offered you the £3600 discount ?

Thanks

go through a broker instead and you'll get the lower price to pay. by that premise with the huge discounts offered on gti's did they think they wouldn't sell? sounds like more VW bs!

Sounds like they are happy to lose a sale if that sale would be at a discount, or maybe they are sizing you up (one of my local dealerships did this to me, so I went elsewhere). Find another dealer that is willing to discount or use a broker - the one you have spoken to has probably used all their allocation for the forseeable, or perhaps if they are a smaller dealership that doesn't get many volume bonuse/discounts to allow then big discounts and still make a worthwhile profit.

You could try one more time with them - give them a price you are willing to accept, give them a phone number and say i'll give you 2 days before looking elsewhere.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Seems like a reasonable discount is normal as we got £3000 on our order:

3 Door pure white - PP - ACC - keyless - dynaudio - 3yr service plan

GTI - PP

No Joy guys ... called around 4 more dealers and told they dont need to discount a car that is sold out until next year.

Any help would be brilliant

I can ask my dealer if you want. I got a 12.5% discount. Tell me the spec you want?
