Keep in mind that the price quoted as excluding GST and after VW Corporate Discount.
I calculate that there is in fact no discount applied apart from the Corporate Plus. It just looks great because of the removal of GST. Which is fine because the car was purchased on a novated lease. But it can't really be compared to any other price posted on the R thus far on these forums.
Yep, that's right, there's not much discount to be had on the R.Quote:

For me it drops me out of the top tax bracket and saves me a fair amount in tax. The downside is that you have a minimum amount of kilometres to achieve from March to March each year (in my case 25001).
Sorry should have been clearer in my early Sunday morning post ....
The corporate plus gets a $2850 discount and reduced dealer delivery of $695 (instead of the ~$1300).
ya, that is a real good deal man. my novated lease company wouldn`t let me lease a GTI with similar options on it...said there were too many options on it, above their allowed threshold...which I thought was complete BS
really nice to have it all packaged up into one price!
See my subsequent post re price clarification. Only drove the DSG as that was what I wanted all along. Drove an S3 Manual though, preferred the Golf DSG.Quote:

Been allocated a provisional production date of week 37, will have a production schedule after August 10, at this stage looks like the ship will dock in Fremantle on November 11 :banana:Quote:
