Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

[tigger73]

I'm sure the dealers are hanging out for the Mk7.5 update which is due mid-year. Expect some deals to clear the Mk7.0 stock coming up in the next few months.

What's the going rate on NEW GTIs and Rs at the moment? VW sales are down for 2016 and Golf sales are down almost 20%. Dealers must be making some deals?

You'll find pricing info in this thread for the GTI, and the following one for the R:

This 2013 GTI... do i buy

Hi guys have signed subject to finance a 2013 GTI with 75,000 on the dial. I've started hearing some horror stories? Should I get existended warranty? Or find one with less kms? It was a really good price

[roarner]

hi guys,

I'm planning to upgrade my 40th exhaust and wondering whether the 40th OEM exhaust can be fitted into a normal GTi?
My mate that is currently driving a normal GTi and he is planning to buy it off from me.

thanks in advance!

Depends on what stories you have heard and what there pertaining to. Is it a manual or dsg? What's the price?
its averaged 25k a year which is close to national average so it will depend on service history. Going to need more info before any advice can be dished out. Lot of Knowledge on here but you need to be a littl more specific. It's like asking what fish tastes good. So many options.

It was DSG, 30k with leather interior. Full service history. They weren't sure if it had it's DSG service because its last service was from an indepdent mechanic so VW did a DSG just now for me free of charge.

You'd get close to golf R territory for that money I imagine, at similar km and age

I assume your talking an early mk7 gti being in the mk7 forum.
There are cheaper mk7 gti out there with dsg and leather In Melb. There a pp for 33k

LibraR: You will get a mk 6 r for that but a mk7 r is still around 40k up.

Price wise I'm not to unhappy as the finance manager is a friend and the interest rate plus extras were pretty good. Just more concerned with what type of issues I'd be facing if a car with that many kms will have a lot of issues

I think the DSG oil was due to be changed at the 60k service? Can you confirm that was done?

If not, get it changed just to be safe, it'll set you back around $600-$800. Otherwise, I think the wet clutch DSGs are almost bulletproof if serviced correctly.

Ps. I know you said dealer did a "DSG service" for you free. What did that entail? I can't imagine them changing the oil for you free of charge given the cost normally involved?

Some mk7 R's with even fewer km on car sales listed from about $36k. Could potentially haggle down from there. Buyer's market for used cars at present...

I will confirm about the Oil, but will make the point I want that done. If they won'tI'll ask for that to be done and just get it out of the way i guess.

They say mk7 R but if you look at the picture there mk 6 R.

The cheapest on car sales is $39990 and it's private so might not budge as much

Fair call, I stand corrected. Thanks 😀

can confirm they did the oil! Also got 3 years extended warranty for less than 2k with the full option of being treated as if it was still factory warranty
