Tracker

[VWKev]

Kev have you ever owned a Golf GTI before the MKVI model?

Nope, this is my first. I'm actually now on the look out for a nice little mk2.

If I had to buy again, it would definitely be a 5 door GTD+DSG, properly specced.
I would be spending less time and money in gas stations.

There you go, that backs up exactly what I said a moment ago. Its all down to money, f**k all to do with the GTD being more desirable. 

Its more desirable at the moment because the combination of it a) looking like a gti b) "miles" better economy

Of course if fuel/money was not an issues we would all have a gti/r

There is very few people who that have bought a gti on here would hold there hands up and say ok a gtd is a better combination for me than the gti I bought. If you can then then fair play

When petrol costs were cheaper then there was an arguement for the gti, however I would expect a huge amount of people who have gti's have never even driven a gtd so cant even comment really.

Honestly I think I've fell into a hole and came out in coo-coo land.

The GTI is history, its what brought hot hatches into the world, its the badge, its the looks through the years, the famous interior, its the car itself, its the ownership, the DESIRABILITY of wanting to own one, the GTI is iconic, famous and hugely sought after.

No-one actually gives a toss about GTD's apart from GTD owners. It doesnt matter how the car runs, wither you can save 2p on fuel or wither you get 10 gazillion extra miles, or wither you can remap it to make it faster, its got absolutely no desirability at all, its a 2nd choice to someone that cant afford a GTI.

Seriously someone help me the f**k out here.

eh eh calm down.

Sure will, soon as you stop with the salesman GTD is more desirable than a GTI talk, next you'll be telling me a GTD is faster. Erm, wait a sec......

Why would I sit here and lie about what I am experiencing with customers coming into me asking for GTD more so than GTI's? You are obviously not quite all there.................

Back on topic
I think it would be a bit irresponsible to answer the question about if you have or have not got a tracker fitted, after all this is a public forum.Whats your next question ? Where do we leave the keys at night?

I never bought the GTI for the badge Kev , I got them for the perfomance and the drive & the GTD is right next to it sorry to burst your bubble  :evil:I will always defend the GTD yes becuse I have one. I dont care what people say on here about the GTD its pure class with dare I say it to you DSG.

[evo1986]

Just curious from a customer facing role as to whether people out there have had it done or considered having it done or wrongfully perhaps not even offered it. I cant think of reasons apart from the cost as to why people wouldn't have it done. Perhaps I was just brain washed by the Cobra rep yesterday but think considering all the cars on here are desirable cars (some more than others : )) to be stolen I questioned why I didnt have it on mine.

It's approx £450 fitted by my dealership.
They are offering a discount for fitting one to a GTi or was it a GTD? So confused now!

[sundaydriver]

Think he may well have had the other stuff retro fitted. Also he got it when VAT was 15% and there has been 2 price rises sinse so probably over 7% cheaper back then!

Staying off topic for a while [again]
The basic GTI was about £23500 when I started looking at them last August, that's without any extras. No way you could get one for £21300, and if the other stuff was retro fitted it will have cost him a lot more. [LED's are retro but other stuff probably not]

I'm f**kcing telling u I paid £21300 for my gti thru an Internet broker. You can kiss my arse

AND as or you thinking my LED's are retro but the other stuff probably not try asking stevep who supplied and fitted the rearview camera and leds, the dodgy polish bloke who sold me the RNS510 and mortygt140 who coded the unit for me. DONT POST REPLY'S WHEN YOU DONT KNOW THE FACTS PR1CK oh sorry rick!!

jealous cos you probably got ripped off by a dealer

[am1w]

Wont be many trackers fitted to GTD's then!

It's all your fault for causing such a major disruption.

it would be a boring forum if everyone agreed with each other. Winding people up makes it a bit more exciting.
