Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Garwen on 08 February 2026, 22:09 »I also told him this and he replied no
I am not happy with the salesman anyway as the one we dealt with originally has retired and have dealt with him for over 35 years
But apparently he is the new specialist on the edition 50 but has no clue about the car just a Vw salesman
The other one was even invited to the launch
How can they know more than any enthusiast lol

Said I don’t want the tyres anyway
Can not order the performance pack with out them
Answer you want to loose a sale in excess of 55k over a set of tyres. Fine by me
Will be on the telephone to Vw uk in the morning
That puts the performance pack at £4500
I've checked the configurator and £3675 includes the tyres. I think the confusion lies as you can order the tyres seperately for which the cost is £880.
