Cheap unregistered Mk7 GTI and GTD imports
«

Noticed earlier that Motorpoint seem to have a few imported Mk7s in stock at the moment going cheap. The GTD is £23k and GTI (PP) £24k. Appear to be 2016 spec cars with MIB II Discover Navigation, but lack some equipment like Xenons, driving mode select and adaptive cruise.
Thoughts?

I wonder if they point out that its an import and it's lower spec than the UK model.
Looking at the front end it reinforces how much better it looks with xenon lights.

Not worth it, you'd be able to get a UK model for a tiny bit more through a broker.

I paid less than that for my MY16 GTI PP from a local dealer!

So they have taken the list price of the UK model, that includes the lights, nav, cruise etc, then added on the old cost of some of the extras to create a totally fake 'new cost'.
Bunch of tossers.

No adaptive cruise either...
And the satnav on the GTI looks like the old MIB1, as it still has the gloss frame round the screen.

The Drive Profile selector button also appears to be missing - top left next to gear lever.
Also no heated seats. Keyless looks to be missing.
I would hope that someone looking to spend that sort of money would research their purchase properly, but it would be interesting to go in as a potential customer and find out exactly how much they tell you about where the cars are from and the spec versus standard UK spec.
