Went to see dealer this afternoon. Benfield. Around 2200 off list. 408/month with my deposit. Price is 4000 more than GTi. GFV is 600 more thank GTi. Balls.

Doesn't make sense in my head.

£2200 off doesn't sound too bad by Benfield standards, managed to get £3600 off the R via Pulman, of course p/x values all help seal the deal if you have something to chop in, and my p/x is looking quite reasonable, especially given the wait the R has taken.

The deposit contribution goes a long way for the GTI - just be sure your £2200 discount is not inclusive of the £1250 deposit contribution, otherwise really they're only giving you £950 off, and you could do a lot better than that.

It all boils down to how much you want a GTI with the toys and how much you want an R. You could get a basic R for the same monthly outlay as a GTI with options. The R's GFV is £2467 higher over 3 years/30k miles, but the GTI's deposit contribution negates half of that.

My biggest anticipated gain for the R when chopping in my GTD is traction, replacing the Bridgestones with something grippier would have been far cheaper!  :grin:

Yeah. Ended up with around 3500 off the GTi including the contribution from VW. Chopping in a MKV Golf TDI for about 4k plus a small amount of cash which was my deposit. They almost matched Carwow and they're close to home.

Think it'll be the GTi in 5 door (333). I like my toys and doubt I'll actually get to drive the R enough to justify the additional cost. It needs to be DSG (old and lazy). And wouldn't want to give up DCC or Tech Pack.

Got until Thursday to make my mind up. But could a decent few days in Europe for the annual saving.

Sounds like you've made the right choice for you, i'm generally an extras miser.  :whistle:

I had this offer from a dealer using carwow for a GTI with a few options. Note the finance offer includes the VW £1,250 deposit contribution.



Ps ( the car is for the Mrs. I'm not planning on getting rid of the M135i anytime soon )

It looks like nav is coming as standard soon Martin so bin the nav and dynaudio and go for tech pack. Then either get park assist or park pack (whatever it's called) to protect the alloy wheels  :whistle:

Thanks Andy that's good to know.

She won't be getting one for a while until the current deal runs out on the Audi A1 in couple of years. I was just testing the water quote wise.
