New Volkswagen car prices are now eye-watering

As one smartass from Ford said commenting 12% (!) price increase in 2009: better to sell one car with profit then a hundred at a loss.
Besides, there is a post from a guy in Norway who's paying £48000 for a GTI, so it's all relative in the end...

Just seen to get the gti I ordered in July for £29k and cancelled in October now retails at £33k ouch and whoops.

Never thought I'd say this but I'm glad I ordered when I did (Oct)! My spec is now over £29K ouch!

More bad news for your wallets as fuel is set to be on the increase to 125p a litre.

Oh well..with all this doom and gloom I guess it's time to dust off the old pushbike

And with these price increases perhaps I will own a Golf R in about 7 years

I posted this in another thread. Germany is Europe's biggest car market and the scrapage schemes in alot of countries are coming to an end now. So I think this year is going to be very tough year for car companys.

I agree the prices are getting silly.

It's not just VW though. A mate of mine at work recently bought a new Ford Fiesta diesel. It was a top spec Titanium but only has the 1.4 diesel donkey in it (which he says is too slow).

£15,000 he paid (list was £15,800).

What's funnier is that he ordered it in white because he was too tight to pay for metallic.

£15K FOR A FIESTA DIESEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
