Going back to used prices: when I phoned a few dealers earlier in the summer when VW hiked up the price before the announced the big spec changes to ask what was going on, I enquired with a couple of dealers that has sales people that I knew who were more likely to give me an honest answer.
Two dealers had a second hand R in stock at just below list and I asked out of interest how much money they had in the sale of the car (to gauge a likely offer price) versus what they'd give me as a new order.
Neither dealer had much flexibility in the price of the second hand cars but both would offer between 10 and 12% as a new order so long as it was in before the end of the quarter which was getting close at the time.
Not very scientific I know.
