anyway went past golf at penrith seen the gti went and had a look at it, was like yeah this is good, then talked about a pricea and a trade in and the change over price wasnt too bad at all, went and talked to the bank and was like yeah we can do that, so took it for a test drive and i was hooked and so was she so we got it for 31 change over.

A guy by the name of Tony, old Asian guy was the salesperson who I got it from. I opted for a black, manual, beige leather, sunroof, xenons and got the full protection package. Wasn't really planning on getting the protection package but they had a sale that day where every car buyer gets to have a go at grabbing some cash in one of those little box things where u stand in it and they blow all the cash around and any cash you get is put towards the protection stuff. Can't remember how much I actually got it for but I know I didnt pay full retail on that.
Worked out to be $51k on the road with all the previously mentioned stuff. I was actually only looking to spend $45k that day which was going to be a black, manual with beige leather interior, then I got abit too carried away
I told them I wanted 3 yrs free servicing after hearing that some people managed to get it, so I had to get a letter from my employer to say that it was going to be a company leased car (although it wasn't) and they just said its up to VW to approve but I never had a definite confirmation on whether it was approved or not as the guy taking care of it was on holidays at the time and Tony just said it should be ok. So thats another thing I have to chase them up with.
Out of curiosity what car did you trade in? Im having a bad time trying to selling my existing car and with the rego expiring next week Im really looking to get rid of it by the weekend. Didn't ask VW for a trade in price because they wouldn't quote me during the time I ordered the Golf since it was going to be too far away to tell how much my car would be worth by the time I got my Golf. Might go down there and see what they offer me, though Im not expecting them to give me anything decent
