Polo GTI - What's The Price Guide?

[philthy]

Hi Fellas,

Also, I'll be honest and admit I haven't researched thoroughly and compared the differences between the 2006-2008 models. I can't seem to find this information anywhere. (If someone could share a quick point form of the differences that would be greatly appreciated).

To the best of my knowledge, the early ones had an extra resonator in the exhaust and the later ones don't have a keyhole on the boot handle. Also read somewhere the gearbox might have changed at some point (not sure on that one)

so not much at really.

Yeah, I think white really accentuates the front grill (red lining). I think black wheels would look really great to match the overall look.

Hmm, yeah I read about this gear box change on the forums while researching. Something about a H pattern or something. Would someone like to elighten me or direct me to a relevant link.

Otherwise, in the meantime, I'll try find something by searching

Yeah the 5 door Polo GTI's look very sexy.

You hardly drove your car, 6,000kms is quite low! What did it do, just sit in the garage

White please!

Enquired about a new 2008 Polo GTI and was told the best they could do was $28.5K. I have a few pointers, maybe someone can enlighten me.

1. 2 years ago, I could've negotiated that price brand new.
2. 2 years and no real depreciation value despite it being new.
3. Model is now being super-superseded.

I told the dealer that in 2-3 months time, I could guarantee after I bought it, they would have a run-out stocktake on these Polo's due the new lineup. They asked me what I would they expect to pay and I was brutally honest, I told them ~$23-$26K.

I'm thinking if I should wait for the new 2011 model, but then again, I honestly don't want to drive a DSG. I have nothing against it, just not my cup of tea. If it came out in the manual version, then definitely yes.

Something about it, plus no near new ones available.
