hi guys, im new to the forum. just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
i spoke to three dealerships here in melb.
first was south yarra - they mentioned they needed a $2k deposit before you could even test drive the gti. no thanks!
second was hawthorn. the salesmen said they are "non discount items". pft...
third was essendon. i mentioned to them that hawthorn were giving me a $2.5k discount (i completely made that quote up), which the salesmen responded by saying "we can match that".
i went down there the next day, spent a couple of hours negotiating the final numbers, and i put i deposit down that day
my black gti with dsg, leather and dealer tint is arriving in october. 6 month wait...
p.s. has anyone thought about selling their gtis? the used ones are selling for more than the new ones (coz of their availability)...
