Thread: Golf R Specifications and Prices

But as you know, from the specs you've been told, there is no mention of being able to control the playback of the streaming audio (change tracks, select the songs, etc). In fact this post from simonm confirms that not even the iPhone has that functionality yet.

So that is the reason for the MDI. If you want music playback and want to be able to control the music playback from the cars systems and all those buttons already on your steering wheel, you need the MDI. There is no getting around that yet

Ok now I get it. Thanks Coreying

Just playing with some figures. These are Victorian drive away figures and I probably not 100% accurate so looking for a price check

3 Door DSG Mk5 R32 and no options = $64,675 RRP (Based on price sheet I have from June 09)
3 Door DSG Mk6 R and no options = $54,500 RRP
To make these as equal as possible, adding leather to the R...
3 Door DSG Mk6 R with leather and no other options = $57,800 RRP

Assuming my calc's are correct, the drive away RRP of the R in my sig would be ~ $65,650 ?
(3 Door DSG Mk6 R with leather, sunroof, bluetooth, ACC and 19's)

Are my calc's correct or did I fark something up along the way?

The R32 prices came from an old barloworld pricelist I had so assumed they were right given it is listed as driveaway pricing. The R calc's included 33% for every dollar over 57k before stamp duty and rego was added.

Added 9ZB to my order today. Still no confirmed build date but it sounds like a few others have been given timing around when I have so fingers crossed.

You should get into build week 37, delivery November, maybe ask your dealer to confirm for you.

Surprised though that you are still able to make changes to your order as i'm sure someone else was looking to do that and were told it would effect delivery by a few months, maybe it's ok as it's just a minor change.

For those who are interested, I'm organising a S2TPP Paddle Shifter group buy over here.

Hi Guys,

I've updated my calculator spreadsheet for the 2010-2011 financial year, and also updated the QLD stamp duty calculation based on feedback from angryman and confirmation from QLD Revenue Office. It appears even the Volkswagen site calculates this incorrectly for QLD!


The spreadsheet can be used to show you the exact "RRP Drive-away price" for your configuration including "onroads", whilst simultaneously allowing you to see what the discount you've been able to negotiate equates to once all the onroads are accounted for.

It contains a "State Selector Drop-Down Box" which adjusts the spreadsheet for all 8 States and Territories. It automatically switches to the correct stamp duty calculation and also provides information and links on the "onroad" costs of Rego, CTP Insurance (or your State's equiv) and Plates. Once you've determined your onroads, you must manually type them into the required fields.

On a "completely unoptioned Golf R", the resulting figures of this spreadsheet match the Volkswagen website pricing to within $100 (as prices can vary on post code and age and the exact dealer delivery average, it's impossible to get it 100% accurate as the Volkswagen's site doesn't break down the costs they use for calculation).

Compared to actual dealer quotes (mine, several other members who have offered their information to improve the spreadsheet), it's accurate to within +/- 1c. Although I must put in the disclaimer that some of the states have "interesting" stamp duty and rego/insurance/plate conditions (WA & SA & NT) and I can't find any info on the internet which shows the price of standard plates in ACT.

So if anyone notices any errors etc, or if you would like to privately share the breakdown of your quote to help with the spreadsheet, feel free to PM me and I'll make the appropriate changes.
