w1how Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Just bought a new R32 today and managed to negotiate around a 10% discount for a car that was in stock at the dealers.Is this about the norm or did I get a good deal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helfinger Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 i would say well done not many dealers give discount on a R32. Must just have needed to boost there numbers for the end of the month...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindaloo Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 That's very good, I managed £400 for a factory order (13 weeks) & apparently that's unusual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thats very good. You dont get much more from importers and a 2 yr warrenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I think 10% is unheard of I doubt there are any dealers even taking 10% off their demonstrator R32's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swil00 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 10% discount is very good, if a little worrying for residuals in the comming months and years.. What happened to the story of not being able to get enough of them ??? must be a sales me thinks.. Doesn't look like the R will hold its value as much as the GTI.

w1how Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thanks for the comments.The car has to be registered and paid for by the end of the month so I suspect dealer bonuses played a part in the discount and also the fact that it has no centre arm rest(doesnt bother us).The car is an R32 5 door in Black Pearl with black leather(not recaro),manual,parking sensors.We are the first owners on the log book and it has covered about 80 miles(we test drove it twice and put on around 50 of those) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Well if its a good spec, give or take a few quid that s a 3k discount which is defo a bit worring for R owners!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 i'm utterly amazed of such a discount....sure your not telling tales but find it very hard to believe....if its over 3 months old then the dealer may have passed on the tax they claimed back to you....either that or you have friends in the appropriate places.....all good stuff though...

R32HAZ Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Paid list for mine - similar situation, an in stock car. Well done that man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 That was pretty good going mate to get a discount like that. Sure you've not been sold a Citroen with a R32 badge :-) Did get a discount on mine when I ordered before XMAS but I blew in all on a Happy meal at McDonalds but had to put the exta to it to "Go large" and get a McFlurry.

nhs Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 You can get the armrest afterfitted if you really want it - there are threads on TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin09 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm surprised they even have a 10% margin to give away! A lot of manufacturers only allow dealers to work on 7.5% now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1how Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 [ QUOTE ] You can get the armrest afterfitted if you really want it - there are threads on TSN [/ QUOTE ] Yes the dealer said the armrest could be retrofitted for around £750(sounds dear-maybe hes trying to get some of his discount back)The car will be used mostly by my missus and she is not bothered about it.She is gutted to be selling her audi tt but we have a baby on the way and need a more practial car.Having mentioned that though the boot on the r32 is smaller than the normal golfs so we stopped at a pushchair shop on the test drive to make sure a pram could go in!

Snoopy Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I guess as the MY07 models are due soon he wanted rid. I don't know if its a bonus thing as i don't think this month is the end of that quarter. I know 6-7% is norm for the GTIs now so i expect as more and more R32s come through they too will be discounted at a similar level. Anyone know the VW dealer margins nowadays as each part of VAG is different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Anyone know the VW dealer margins nowadays as each part of VAG is different? [/ QUOTE ] Think it depends of a heap of things. Model, demand, number shifted, promotional dealer bonus, prime dealer status. On a GTi I would expect 10-12% as dealer margin net of PDi cost. Since the GTi has been out a while and the peak has flattened VW UK will reward high turn over dealers with bonus and incentives. What I am certain of is that VW UK do not like mad inconsistent dealer pricing, they like dealers to stand for the brand image and that image doesn't include "10% off" a premium demand car like a new, no waiting time R32.
