I think you can do better. Fetch the DC area discounts through TrueCar and bargain with the PA/Delaware dealers. That's how i approached this.
No NJ dealer was able to match it for me, so had to drive to PA.

Your final selling price without TTL is 23650 + 425 = 24075. Based on the numbers other are posting, you can do a lot better.
So I checked out pricing through TrueCar, which sent my info to a bunch of Bay Area dealers. Instantly, my email and phone was blowing up. Looking at dealer inventory, some of these dealers have 30-40 GTI's in stock! Most of them are black or grey, in DSG. There seem to be very few manual cars around here, especially in Pure White, which is the only color I wanted.
Some of the emails contained some great deals, like ~$23,000 for Sport models with DSG. I got this offer from multiple dealers. However, after emailing the dealers back trying to get more details, I learned that these deals were subject to "Standard" financing of 4.99%. And this includes $500 off for being a recent college grad (which I am not). If I wanted to get the 0% Sell Down promotion (which ended on the 10/31) the price would be much higher. At this rate, dealers were only offering $2000 off MSRP. So the deals definitely change once you try and get more details, and you may not qualify for all the deals they are initially quoting you.
I tried going down to SF VW, as their online sales guy Jeff was really nice and not a pushy sales guy. Unfortunately, they were unable to get the car I wanted in a trade and I really didn't want to settle for another car.
I ended up going to Sunnyvale VW and got the Sport w/6MT for $25,500 + TTL with 0% interest for 5 yrs, and I put $0 down. Maybe I could have gotten the car a little lower by haggling or waiting later in the year, but I was happy with 0% and not having to put any money down. Plus, from all my research there were only 3 Sport 6MT in white in California, and I was already at the dealer till almost 8pm, so I was ready to get out of there.
If you want black, grey, or the S package, there are some good deals to be had.

See if the closer one will come down based on the 6 hours away price. I doubt they match, but it depends on what your time and gas is worth. I assume it's 6 hours one way? So is your time and travel worth more or less than $100/hour (the $1,200 difference)? Also, what if they bait and switch you? Or the car has a scratched, curbed wheel, more miles than they said..etc... Are you going to turn around and drive home?

Are you going to use the closer dealer for all your maintenance. If so see if they can match your other deal. I did a similar thing last year and I have been using a dealer closer home for all maintenance. They have a note in their system that vehicle was bought out of state and not once they have offered me a loaner during service, not a complaint but just an observation.
If the closer dealer doesnt budge in, go for the other dealer and make trip out of it. You will enjoy the long drive back home.
