At this rate the MK7 is going to cost £40k for a basic model.  I have a feeling this will be my first and last GTI  :cry:

Another nail in the private buyers choice, these cars are now far too expensive for what they are.

Pays to keep what you've got, if you've looked after it.

oh no, its added £40 to the base spec GTI, you guys really are drama queens, especially as you can burn that with a spirited drive home from work.

I will sell my not yet produced GTD for a bargain price of £99'999!  Any Takers?!?

Where did £40 come from? More like £200 surely? Mind you I failed maths....

£40! You mean in reality at least £300 after extras added.

Yep £194....damn it, cheers Exonian.  Still not excessive in today's 5% inflation or there-abouts, that's a trip to Scotland then.

That is probably to cover the rental car costs for when they take longer than 16 weeks to build something.

I was just reading an old price list (long story but was trying to work out a value of an ex demo a mate of mine is looking at with full spec but a bit pricey - an Inchcape car too Lee!) and a GTI has gone up by almost £3000 since August 2009.

Was doing a bit of home filling earlier and came accross the paper work from when I brought my GTI in Dec 10. I paid the dealer £25,950 for my x-demo GTI which had 5k on it. I've always thought I'd paid more than that for it tbo. I reckon and probably have to spend a lot more than that now for a second hand one with the level of spec I've got on mine. Will be priced out from buying one in the future at this rate  :sick:

Seat here we come!

LOL  :grin:

A five door GTI DSG like yours is now about £27000 before extras. The demo my mate was looking at would have a list price of over £32k with the extras on it and doesn't even have Nav. Not bad eh?  :grin: I expect yours would have listed around about that price when new.

SHOCK, HORROR, READ ALL ABOUT IT, READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Due to unacceptable price increases there will be too few Mk7 GTI customers and therefore no supporting Forum for them.  :laugh:

Due to the continuous moaning about our fair price policy mk7 GTI will not be sold in UK :evil:

The OTR prices would look much more palatable if VAT came down to a reasonable level - 20% is taking the p***.

Does that mean were going to have programs where Sarah Beaney's or Kevin Mcloud are going to come and inspect your build and slag it off in front of the camera then actually say how wonderful it is in the flesh when finished, because he lacked the imagination in the first place.

The price will keep increasing for them to justify making that longer and wider fcuker which will be the Mk7 for all the fatties. They can sod off if they do so. The present one is bloated enough.  :angry:

Are you calling Wolfgang fat??


He won't like it.

'He's big chassised' or 'his bodywork is well built' would be better.
