Here's a thing to do:

In the 'decimal' section, try putting in the original prices of GTI's from years past.

As a guide:

1990 Rallye was £17261
1990 8v GTI approx £14k
1990 16v GTI approx £15.5k

1997 VR6 Highline was approx £22k

I tried explaining this same thing on Edition the other day and it went clean over most peoples head. A base spec MKVI DSG is actually cheaper than a base MKII 16v was on launch.

sense

Top post, bang on.

Means that assuming a price now of £40k for a Golf R, it would have come in at £22k in 1990.

That would have been laughed out of the room at that date (although how much was the Limited new?)  - the other prices look fine.

Limited was £25K new (so circa £50K today). Golf R is only £40K with lots of options, it starts at £30,300.

That would be £18068.05 now. Seems the MKI GTI was a bargain!
