Hi turbo, welcome aboard!

Hopefully you will find one soon...there is a tonne of stuff you can do to them if you're interested. Unfortunately another bloke in Perth I know of has just sold his GTI in the last couple of weeks otherwise you might have been able to take a look at his.

Good luck in the search!

What's the waiting period like on these now from the dealers?

The waiting period I have been told is around 2 weeks so not too bad. They have them in storage but won't get them into the dealership until someone actually buys one alot of the time.

I think the ecu flash upgrade would definitely be worth it at least from what i have read on these forums.

Hey turbo,
if they have them in the warehouse that's about right. I ordered mine, they had it in Welshpool and it too about 10 working days for delivery (which was yesterday ).
Anyway, I paid $28,500 driveaway for mine 2 weeks ago, and I reckon you might be able to get that down a bit because when i offered that price they didn't try and haggle at all.

Sounds good mate. You must be stoked that your car has finally arrived! I can imagine that would be pretty exciting!

marko, did you get any options - leather/sunroof/17" wheels?

[marko]

Nah mate, stock as a rock!

Finally got to test drive a gti, definitely like it so I think I have almost decided on the polo now! I was really impressed with how much torque it had too, a lot more driveable than other turbos I have driven. Definitely a fun car for the price.

Out of interest, what do you guys reckon a good price for a 2007 model gti is? With pretty low k's say under 20,000. Just tossing up whether to go near new or brand new!

i reckon save the $$$ and go a second hand one.

you know how they say that certain cars are driven by certain people? i reckon that anyone who drives a polo (or any vw for that matter) would have taken care of it, so you should be in safe hands.

i know i would have. i think i treat my car the worst of any current model vw owner (throwing snowboards and snowboard boots in the back, not washing it more than a couple times a month, its parked in the street overnight etc).

Definitely over $30,000...

This comment has nothing to do with me owning a 2007 Polo GTI with low kms

Realistically, with no factory options, probably about 22/23k

N15 pulsar 1.6. Its in good nick and has served me well but its time for a new one! Especially something with a bit more power and potential.

[Buller_Scott]

cool. yeah- you just cant go past the vw build quality. to hear the door of a car this small, close/ shut with a deep thud, warms my insides.....

i doubt you'll look back once you've got one
