Mine's weighing in like a positive bargain at a mere £26,110.00
I paid about £21k for it in 2009 as a 'lovingly cherished' 5 month old ex dealer thrash car that was probably never warmed up, cooled down, run in or anything else a sane human being would do to a new car.

I never used to keep a car more than about 18 months, I never really planned on keeping this one that long. Trouble is I've had it 18 months now and have sort of become attached to it, literally attached to it - I was just installing my new warty gear knob when I pinched the skin on my fingers as I pushed down on the plastic trim to secure it. My fingers are now stuck permanently into the centre console and I'm sat here hunched in the drivers seat typing this with my nose.


(that was meant to be a joke by the way, I still haven't found a suitably sized hose clip to stick around the shaft)

£28,065.

At this rate i won't be able to afford another GTi when i come to upgrade next time.

Happened last time though. Had an R32, couldn't afford the R, so went for the GTI. Suppose it'll be a GT for me next time.  :cry:

Thank God I can afford to buy the Golf. Paid not too far off 30 grand which Is a bit of a shock.

The Polo GTI looks far better value and still goes like stink. It's also bigger than a mark 2 golf. Still like the Golf though and will change it for another when the new model comes out though I will no doubt have to cut down on the extras
On Order Golf GTI 5 Door Manual - Pearl Black - 18' Vision Alloys - Goodyear F1 Asymmetric Tyers - Sunroof - Xenon Lights - Touch Screen Cd Player With Dyneaudio amp and speakers - Folding Wing Mirrors - Dealer Fit - Steel VW kick plates - Front And Rear Mud Flaps - Sill boot protector - Boot liner - 3 year Service Plan - Carpet Matts With GTI Logo And Red Pipping.

I'm convinced we will see a more affordable Golf GTI when the MK7 comes out.  The current price does reflect the high build costs that VW have with the MK5 and MK6.

I just can't see VW pricing the MK7 GTI's starting at around £30k, with extra's that puts is very close to the price of an Audi RS3!

£28209 new now. (without including any retrofits).
I paid a large amount less than that. I paid less for mine than most people pay for a used ones in the past year but its not a high spec. I also paid less for it than someone i know who has bought a polo GTI with only a few options which makes me go  :smug:


I was offered SteveP's car from Matt before Steve got it but ruled it out as it was too expensive for me at over £6K more than mine was going to be.
