just spoke to a vw dealer, he said hes paying more for a mk5 GTI than he was last year, much like in 2009 (i dont know apprently vws appreciated in that year)
and i have to say looking on auto trader i think i could probably get back what i paid for mine last year, although i do like mine very much so i think i'll be holding on to it for a while longer yet :)
-
This is possibly good news, however I'm about to modify mine so I wonder if it'll mean that modified Golfs will also increase? Also, will this cause the price of parts to increase as well?
-
Cerialkarpins - What plat GTI did you buy and also if you dont mind me asking how much?
Im looking for an MK5 GTI 05/06 and so far the average price im seeing is around 5K. Would this be correct or should I be looking harder for one thats cheaper?
-
the 05 plate 1 we had cost me just over 4k there is plenty of them for sale now :smiley: so cant see them going up in value

There is only one direction modified cars go in and that downwards I am afraid - you never get the price of modification back unless you are blessed enough to sell your car to a like minded individual - which does happen from time to time..

Yeah, I'm aware of the de-value effect modifying can have on a car, but no-one really does it as an investment, only because it brings us a bit more joy while driving. I just mean if the base price rises by, say, £1000 compared to 2 years ago, does that effect every GTI price regardless?

mk5s are dropping in value can pick them up for silly money now compared to a few years ago :smiley:

Yeah, when I remember when they were still 5 figures to buy! The new GTI is £30K once you chuck in DSG, leather seats and a few other toys... One day it'll be below £10K... I hope.

Pahahahaha, Mk5's appreciating....... I nearly spat my tea out :laugh:

They will be below £10k soon enough, they will lose a third in the first year of ownership, they all seem to..

Even so, still more cost effective to modify mine with a few grand and get it more powerful and better chassis setup than a Mk6. If I upgrade now, I'd have to go Golf R anyway, my rule is I can never go down in power. :)

You should go back to the vw dealer and slap him.
-
Lowest plate I can see a stealer buying is 06/56 plate. maybe the dealer was getting confused with the ed30 which could/will become a collectors item.
