Full price of the deal (according to the price table on page 1, before LCT - LCT is insignificant anyway as it is only slightly above $75000) is $80725, so at $78000, they are only giving you $2000 discount.
Not trying to have a go at you but that price, $78000 is not really that exciting.
Sorry, not sure what you've added up there. I can confirm my numbers are 100% accurate for WA (I did say i'm an accountant):
Car inclusive of GST = 59,280
Dealer delivery = 4,000 (yay for only one stealership)
Options inclusive of GST = 14,848
Car price before LCT + onroads = 78,148
Here in WA, our stamp duty is 6.5% flat on all cars over $45,001, as opposed to your 2% in Qld, a difference that works out to be $2,667 alone.
So stamp duty = $3,853
LCT = $909 (33% x (78,148 - 75,375))
Rego = $590 - again, differs per state
Bringing total on road to $83,480

So an on-road offer of $78,000 represents a saving of $5,480 here in the West, which is more exciting than your calculation!

Edit: I read Noosa but didn't read the rest, I see you're now in Melbourne. In that case, your stamp duty is 5%, which is still 1.5% lower than ours and equates to $889.20 more saving.
