asking prices are still very strong  :shocked:

when I bought my 2019 GTI 2 years ago, i had spent a year sitting on the fence to see if the prices would fall, they didn't. Using this example the prices are still the same.

btw the car above is from arnold clark, IME you won't get the same benefits as you will from another VW dealer, eg 2 year warranty, 2 year roadside assist, etc.

I've done 40K miles in 2 years in mine, it might get retired to summer/weekend car next year.

Found yesterday, completely stripped and burnt out  :sad: I've put a pic on another post.

No insurance not asking for anything, more for my piece of mind.

Such a sad state of affairs the lengths we have to go to to stop someone taking your belongings!

Key scanned (I know the key should have been in a faraday pouch :sad:) they then proceeding to saw the steering lock off for 4 minutes sat on my drive at 3am the last Bank Holiday Monday we had a few weeks back, the absolute balls on them is unreal!

I'm having post fitted on the drive and a ghost on the next one!

The Mk7 is also vulnerable to OBD port attacks to create new keys...

I fitted a driveway post about 6 weeks before I got the GTI and my first post on this very site was asking what size Disklock fits the GTI steering wheel. Day after I picked it up from the dealer I had an immobiliser and tracker fitted🤞🤞

Is an OBD port lock worth it I wonder?

this one looks good, but pricey
