Anyone know where there is a 5 Door GTI Pirelli for sale?

[VW Central]

Den525,

I bought a Pirelli almost 1 year ago to the day and the on road retail price for a five door with Sat nav & Park was $57,800.00 in NSW. Keep in mind that on road costs vary from state to state. A fully optioned one with xenons was $59,700. And just to clarify I did not pay this price for mine but I certainly didn't get it for 46k.

dcashion, you are after a particular car in a particular colour of which there is currently only one available. Unless you are willing to wait for another one to appear make an offer and see what the seller says. I agree with Deancorp in that this is not a standard GTI and as much as cars de-value over time there is also a factor called supply & demand. The other 4 Pirelli's that I see available are 3 door in which case there is supply and people have a choice. I know there is a lot of talk on these forums regarding pricing of vehicles but sometimes I just think some people are in dreamland (and that includes both buyers & sellers).

Couldn't have said it better

well i don't care anymore, because i've got a pirelli myself!!! hahahaha

Ended up paying 38000 and traded my car in for 25,000... the price was good imo. He pointed out a few things about my trade in car that needed to be fixed which was understandable... eg. damaged to the alloys (4 of them lol), which would cost $600 to fix apparently.... quite happy he didn't notice that my tires were close to being slick! which would cost $2000 to replace... so overall i'm quite happy.

One thing i was disappointed about was that he said the car would come with 1 year rego and ctp, but it doesn't it only came with what ever that is left on the car which was 4 months.

Congrats, what colour is it?

[guest12345]

it is silver... not my 1st priority... but for the price i guess i can compromise... anyways silver doesn't look as bad as i first thought...

I was considering silver because black gets dirty however, the Pirelli Silver just looked "too" silver for me. Silver Rims, Silver Bumper etc..

can you believe my luck... 2 emails inquiring about my old car this morning, both 2-3k more than the trade in price, just my damn luck.

Emails with questions don't really give an indication of sale. Chances are those buyers would look over the car and find the same things wrong that the dealer did, and offer less.... They may even find more (ie - the tyres)... and offer even less?

If you're happy with the deal you got at the dealer... then all good

[guest12345]

well yeah thats very true...

But more troubles today!!! called rta today enquiring about transferring rego to NSW and they said i have to pay stamp duty! which supposely included in the deal!!! i really don't want to pay another 1k for the car, as budget is really tight.

If the dealer paid for stamp duty already, why do i have to pay again?

I think the dealer sells you the car without registration and stamp duty. Then you pay stamp duty and rego with RTA in NSW.

[guest12345]

well the dealer did advertise drive away no more to pay... which included gov't stamp duty and transfer fee... this is also stated on the contract. "drive away price (including gov't. stamp duty and transfer fee, if applicable).

The car still have 4 months left of the registration.

On the RTA website... it stats "To be exempt Stamp Duty in NSW you must provide evidence that you paid stamp duty in the state in which the vehicle was previously registered. You must provide a current certificate of registration. If the certificate has been lost, an RTA motor registry can organise verification."

I don't know if that applies to me...
