Title: How much would yours cost?
Post by: GolfTi on 14 April 2011, 21:51
I've just had a look on the VW configurator - the cost of my car new is a whopping £27,999

That's an increase of 5K in 18 months!!

VAT increase, annual price increase and all that  but 19% ( adjusted for discount) is just silly.

That's the factory spec for mine without my own mods  :shocked:

Mine has every option except rear airbags and park assist  :nerd:

Mine was a three month old dealer demo so I paid way less than that  :smug:

Mine's weighing in like a positive bargain at a mere £26,110.00
I paid about £21k for it in 2009 as a 'lovingly cherished' 5 month old ex dealer thrash car that was probably never warmed up, cooled down, run in or anything else a sane human being would do to a new car.

I never used to keep a car more than about 18 months, I never really planned on keeping this one that long. Trouble is I've had it 18 months now and have sort of become attached to it, literally attached to it - I was just installing my new warty gear knob when I pinched the skin on my fingers as I pushed down on the plastic trim to secure it. My fingers are now stuck permanently into the centre console and I'm sat here hunched in the drivers seat typing this with my nose.


(that was meant to be a joke by the way, I still haven't found a suitably sized hose clip to stick around the shaft)

£28,195
Increased by a few hundred pounds.
Brought back great memories though!

£28,065.

At this rate i won't be able to afford another GTi when i come to upgrade next time.

Happened last time though. Had an R32, couldn't afford the R, so went for the GTI. Suppose it'll be a GT for me next time.  :cry:

Thank God I can afford to buy the Golf. Paid not too far off 30 grand which Is a bit of a shock.

The Polo GTI looks far better value and still goes like stink. It's also bigger than a mark 2 golf. Still like the Golf though and will change it for another when the new model comes out though I will no doubt have to cut down on the extras
Title: Re: How much would yours cost?

I'm convinced we will see a more affordable Golf GTI when the MK7 comes out.  The current price does reflect the high build costs that VW have with the MK5 and MK6.

I just can't see VW pricing the MK7 GTI's starting at around £30k, with extra's that puts is very close to the price of an Audi RS3!

£28209 new now. (without including any retrofits).
I paid a large amount less than that. I paid less for mine than most people pay for a used ones in the past year but its not a high spec. I also paid less for it than someone i know who has bought a polo GTI with only a few options which makes me go  :smug:


I was offered SteveP's car from Matt before Steve got it but ruled it out as it was too expensive for me at over £6K more than mine was going to be.

And that's without the options I would have spec'd if I'd bought it new such as parking sensors; xenons etc.


edit: £33,669 with the toys added!!
Title: Re: How much would yours cost?
Post by: am1w on 15 April 2011, 23:53
Mine is now £28,447 without the numerous retro-fits.
With these it is £31,677.
If ordered from the factory it would be £32,777.
Oh, and £986 for winter tyres.
Grand total = £33,763.

Expensive for a medium size family hatchback.  :shocked: :shocked:

£1000 more to spend on new Goodyear Summer tyres and a Re-map.  :rolleyes:

Hm, I had to check my car on this; converted to UK value I have paid something like £56.000 for a 2011 model Golf GTI  :laugh:

You are all so lucky!!  :laugh:

A bit OT.
Was going to drive the Merc C Class Sport 350 CDI 7-Speed Auto for a couple of weeks. Not used to automatics so I nearly crashed it! It is bloody fast and could show up a standard GTI (like mine) but it is nowhere near as wonderful as Wolfgang/GTI. So parked it and threw the keys in the drawer and took the tube.  :shocked:

Feels really good to have made the right choice.  :smug:
