New Price of GTI & GTI worth 2011

[Jimble]

I generally agree with what saint steve has said although I have new cars just because I can, but isn't kev saying that new cars bought last year are worth more now than when they were new? As snoopy says, he's already had an offer for more than he paid, although he is keeping

They are, and this 'plucked out of thin air £3k' amount, is offset from when I bought the car, its been through 1 VAT increase already, the customary VW rise in price and now another VAT increase in Jan, not to mention the amount actually paid for the car after dealer discounts.

When I drive it off the forecourt it looses £3k ? When I sit my arse in it tomorrow going to work, my car will be worth more now than when I bought it. Fact.

The fact that there aren't a lot of GTI's about with also a long waiting list will certainly help keep the price up.

I would happily pay under £17k for a 59 plate GTI. I doubt I would get one for that price though.

In below average condition? Could cost you over a grand to put right though if it's too scabby.

The demand has to drop at some point and I think this will push it too far.

how bad could a 59 plate be???

Its no secret a like to rag the ar$e off my car, and do very little in the way on maintenance. However there is nothing a service and a little spit and polish wont fix

So there is £2300 difference between an average car and an excellent condition car what a load of bollocks. hahaha

You'd be hard pushed to get a decent condition mk5 for £17k
