Personally i would wait for the my 19 lots of good updates to the gti
Yeah. I kinda wish I waited for the extra power, better brakes and diff + 7 spd, but to be honest the one I have now is more than enough for me and I got a loaded GTI for $10-15k less than a Wolfie. (Only way to get DynAudio in an R at the time)
But mine is P plate legal in most if not all states, so that might come in handy in a few years when it's time to sell.
Hi all
Looking at picking up a 7.5 gti with all options in the next few months. How much should I be looking at. I've seen some fully option with less than 8000km on the clock for 40k.
Would 45k be too optimistic or likely given the new MY19 is just around the corner?
That might be a touch ambitious. I'd stab at $47-47.5k being the on road benchmark fully loaded as a manual these days - but it's worth a crack.
If there are new MY18 cars still on the lot they'll want to shift those, but there should be MY19s already around?
Discounts might be running higher on GTIs now given the added competition in the market, plus a lot of people will probably look to jump to a R Grid - leaving a loaded GTI floating a bit in no man's land without discounting.

Anyone who has a GTI Original vs GTI - anything you're missing after a few months of ownership? Regrets over not having five doors, or has the lack of adaptive chassis control been a deal breaker?
Trying to gather some thoughts and present a case as to why it would be a viable option to my partner (who isn't convinced a three door is a good way to go).

I've noticed a couple of posts here and there re the MY19 GTI. Just to revive this.
Has anyone put a deposit down or likely to make a purchase? Keen to understand what people are expecting to pay drive away. Appreciate there's a $1k price rise, but with the run pricing on the MY18 GTI's some months back it's difficult to work out just how much a 'base GTI' should cost (beyond the simple answer of 'what ever you are willing to pay for it'). I'm excited that there's a fair step between the MY18 and MY19 models based on 'standard equip' offered.
Value anyone's perspective on this. I'm talking to a dealer at a price under 45k drive away.

4 months and 5k on the clock with a gti original DSG and Driver assist.
Pro,s
light and fast enough, easy to live with and great rear seats, absolute hoot to drive and runs great on 95 fuel, even good economy at 7.9 per 100.
Con,s
doors are huge and you have to watch it in car parks, getting in and out is a bit of a hassle for passengers, has normal key and no heated seats, active suspension would have been nice.
overall the price saving compared to and R or even a 5 dr GTI out weigh its drawbacks. and you save on fuel costs, plus there is only 200 in Australia 100 red 100 white so they may hold their value better so I recommend 3 dr over 5 and save 6 to 7k

I've put a deposit on an MY19 with the luxury pack. The MY19 makes more sense unless you can get an MY18 with a performance pack. But I guess it depends what you want?
