I went down to VW monday to grab some parts for the gf's polo and saw a nice looking 3 door mk5 gti in black, ive been looking for one for a while in a dealer on and off and decided now is the time.
It was up at £14,992 on monday. Now today i went down on the way back from work and its up at £15,995! Same car and reg.
The car isnt that spec'd up either i dont think from what i know on mk5s.
Ive looked up on one of those valuation sites and it says its worth £13k dealer price.
I know you can get them cheaper private, but i need finance swapping.
So what is this worth and do you think i have a hope in hell of getting them down from 15995 to a fair price?
Its a 57 plate black 3 door gti.
33k miles
Cloth interior
Standard alloys by the looks of it, monza look but not polished metal, more of a grey.
CD player with NO wheel controls as far as i could see?!?! wtff
manual not dsg
climate controll
rain sensors
They are the most notable things.
What you think i should be paying for that out of a VW dealer.... I certainly aint paying nearly 16k!
-
And i appriciate whats it worth threads are rubbish and annoying.

Based on a 07, 57.
Original Price £20,607
Franchised Dealer £15,120
Independent Dealer £14,540
Private Good £13,670
Private Poor £11,215
Part Exchange £12,365
I would say somewhere around £14000 is bang on the money to be honest.
As a guide:

i saw one in my local dealer in march same spec 44000mls grey £12,500
-
Hmmm interesting. So it definetly needs to come down sub 14k really.
Where did you get those prices wayne? It is a franchised dealer but it is still very steep!

The only thing I would say is that you will get excellent back up from a main dealer but it is still overpriced.
-
Yeah, its very much over priced but also a very cool car :cool:
Will probably go down there tomo and try and get some sort of reasonable deal.
Even if they are a franchised dealer i think it needs to come down to £14500. lol

suggest it to them...what's the worst that can happen?
-
Indeed, i will tomo.
I just wanted to know what the price i should be aiming for is.

If you want a GTi and have 15k to spend. Get the Edition 30 fella and not the standard GTi
-
Im switching cars, as i already have a car on finance, so im tied to what i can find in a dealer that will swap finances etc and take my 57 fiesta.
The ED30 is tempting, but it would also give me a higher insurance premium and im only 21. They already want to make my insurance from 700 to 1400 for a mk5 gti. Although that is fully comp business use etc. Only young once so got to just go for it really i think whilst im earning ok money.
But yes... ED30 would be nice, but theres none around in dealers near me, and i havnt seen any either in a long time.
-
business use - you going on duty in it :shocked:
-
We have to have it, as we often have to work out of places that are not our normal place of work.
And they wont pay your petrol expenses if you cant prove your insured. And if you cant prove your insured in this job..... well.... you get the picture!

Saw this as i drove past Citygate in High Wycombe yesterday......

They've got a black 3 door, similar age with grey leather for under £15k at my local dealer. 25k miles IIRC.
-
I'm also looking for a Mk5, but IMHO, prices are all over the place at the moment, as the dealers don't seem to be selling, and private cars are trying to be sold at trade prices!!!!!.
Its the end of the month, and the dealers will want to get their sale figures, so go and ask for ar least 10% off, and see what they say.There are plently of Mk5's out their.... AND be patient !!
Good luck
-
Bought one, just not that one!
:) Happy days.

Nice one mate, get some pictures up! :smiley:
