New VW Golf - How much have you haggled down on a new car before?

leximus on 04/05/2016 - 19:50

Hey guys, got a new job and will need some wheels for it.

I don't want anything too snazzy so looking at the $20-25k mark and always like VW Golfs. The one I'm looking at comes to roughly $25k, includes 3 yrs warranty and roadside, and capped servicing. 2.8% APR too so not too shabby there.

I'm going to start my haggling in a few days and was just wondering, what do people normally manage to haggle out of new car dealers.

Cheers,

Lex

    It's usually on the up sell they try and get you. Oh you need this protective paint etc etc

      Yeah, a little surprised that the only colour you get as standard is white. Anything else is $500 more.

    Call Spack.

      Sorry, I have no idea what this means, other than the urban dictionary type definitions. Can you elaborate?

        There's a user here by the name of Spackbace. I believe they might be closely associated with cars and car dealerships.

          Just a car salesman over in WA, and don't know about VWs, sorry OP!

    Be careful with VW servicing costs, I have a diesel Tiguan and it costs a fortune to get serviced $2k total for the 105km and 130km!

      Thanks, will ask them for the breakdown. I think the first couple are $330, then slight increases but yeah, will have a word. Thanks again

        Should be capped price servicing on non-diesels from memory, it's on the website. As others have mentioned, dont fall for the paint/rust protection etc.
        Get them to throw in tint and mats, full tank of gas etc.
        Get a few quotes to get an idea of who is charging less for the car and more for "dealer delivery" - there's usually plenty of room to move in the dealer delivery side as it's all pure profit because they do stuff all work for their money.
