Just been looking at Autotrader and they have a few Mk8 GTI for sale.

Listers Worcester. Atlantic Blue DSG with £1700 off

Stourbridge Volkswagen Dolphin Grey with £930 off

Volkswagen Chelmsford Moonstone Grey with £2932 off

There was another four GTIs.

So are these genuinely for sale or is the dealer going to say, Ah yes but you can’t take it away till end of Jan?

Good find! Must say though that I don’t really like either of those. Not sure if it’s the colours or the design. The front looks very rounded if you know what I mean.

Yeah good find.

Interesting to see dealers advertising these so early. I can't see anything to suggest that they're demo's, and they look mostly standard rather than dripping with options. So I would guess that they're for sale now, but only one way to know for sure.

Not sure i'd be paying those prices though unless I was desperate to get one quickly.

I was offered a bog standard gti Dsg in probably November... So I guess there are some stock vehicles in the pipeline. Which surprised me.

Yes, they do seem to be standard, so probably early production before the complicated builds start with options included and the orders.

4 of the 7 cars seem to be with Chelmsford VW so I don’t know if they like snapping up new stock or just expecting lots of early adopters in Essex

I’d like to see a Kings Red one but I don’t think black works at all with the Mk8.

I wonder why VW retained the original font for the GTI badge on the steering wheel of the mk8 GTI when all other mk8 GTI badging (front grille, tailgate, ‘blade’ badges on the front wings) has been changed to the new style font. An oversight on VW’s part?

Steering wheel GTI badge - original font;


Tailgate GTI badge for comparison - new font;
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl
