Regard my previous post about getting a TDI or TSI. You guys have convinced me to get the TSI. I don't do the kms and mostly city driving only so it makes sense. Even with 95RON prices vs diesel prices it would take years for it to payback the additional cost upfront of the 140TDI. So thanks for the suggestions.
So, I managed to get this quote:
162TSI
metallic paint
Rline
DAP
Sunroof
Driveaway for $57,900.
I'm thinking of signing the dotted line tomorrow...
That's about $900 cheaper than what I got it for (and mine is without metallic paint). Well done!Quote:

That's just over 1k for what I got mine for, and I didn't get met paint. I got 500 worth of accessories though so about 1k more. I got mine at cost price plus $500 so that is a very good deal, take it quick I say lolQuote:

Wouldn't there also be around $300-400 of CTP greenslip as well?
Signed on the dots today! My very first VW! I'm really excited now.
CTP was $648 and dealer delivery is $2268.18.
I don't really understand why dealer delivery charges so much, but I think that's where the fat is.

So looks like VW already dropped the dealer delivery cost by about $600 lol. Still i would never pay this bulls**t fee and there is no valid reason a dealer can give to support such an obnoxious price!
Oh and if they say that partial cost is due to delivering the car from manufacturer then they are lying because that cost is already factored in the dealer invoice, which is is still below the car price before on-road costs.
I am hoping someone might be able to help me.
I ordered a 132TSI Confortline with Drivers Assistance and Luxury Pack about a month ago but am being given the run around by the dealer when I will actually receive the car.
Whenever I talk to someone at the dealer I get a different story. Now the dealer wont even talk to me. Just sends me text messages with so called updates.
I have a suspiscion that either:
The delaer has given the car allocated to me when ordered to someone else and is awaiting for a new vehicle to arrive or
There is something worng with the car (damage) and it is being fixed before giving it to me or
The dealer is adding the Drivers assist themselver rather than it being from the manufacturer
I have managed to get the VIN and Engine numbers.
Is there a way of telling when the car actually arrived in Australia and what the specs are of the car when manufactured?
I feel like cancelling the car but it was paid for 2 weeks ago when the dealer told me they had the car.
