Golf GTI 200bhp Limited Edition $85K New!

[Blue850r]

VW has this so call Ltd Ed Golf GTI , Red colour only, fabric seats, 17 inch rims and No HID going for about $85K with COE tag at $4K. OMV is estimated to be about $25K.

 

This works out to be $7K odd a year. Cheaper than all the used GTIs on Sg CarMart.

 

The question is : How is this car and is there any drawback on this model?

I think VW singapore is trying to clear stock since new Golf will be release in Singapore by 2Q 09.

i think its a good buy if u dont need things like sunroof, bi-xexon headlight and electicially adjustable seats. all else are the same.

 

but if you can wait, i think prices will drop further in the next 3 months. VW in German is planning to halt production for 3 weeks due to over production. hope the auto industry in Europe is not as bad as the US big 3!!

[Kaer]

any good buy for GT Sport...

[Blue850r]

Didn't ask about GT sports but Jetta 1.4 with170bhp is $81K with boot space.

 

Forumer Vega says can wait a few months for price down. Highly possible as EURO exchange rate is dropping.

Thanks man, tho the GTI is quite a not bad buy. Will sit out for 2 more months...

i almost got this car last month.....last minute pulled out..

well,i would say its cheap.

if you need a SE ,let me know

[Blue850r]

Yes it sounds like a good deal when you recall those days when VW launch was $120K.

 

If you now just compare it with Omv of any cars around $25K to $27K, like market leader Toyota Camry 2.0L which is priced at $80K thereabout, then this limited ed GTI is so-so priced.

[Accordvtec]

prices come down quite a fair bit.....was 98k when i looked at it last mth....

[Accordvtec]

bro,last time,GTi MK 4 was going @ $128K w/o coe.many many yrs ago when it was still 1.8.

if you can accept the fact that those items are missing, go get it.

[Blue850r]

Easy to chip up for 40bhp. So power can be gotten quite cheaply.

[Vega]

was eyeing the GT sports back then. now PI is offering at $78K will all the goodies.

[Renegade777]

200bhp quite little

 

Bro,

 

Whatever, it is still a VW lah. Some of my kakis "gei gei" want Conti and VW. Branding is important to some. Anyway, after buying and pocket deep deep can easily mod to a higher hp. As long as got money, no problem one, various workshop can "zng" for you. Hee ! just like the cxxxc Type R, more ex then WRX but still in Singapore got alot of rich people buying the Red badge even though Rex is cheaper and has better hp. Sometimes it is not about hp, it is about moolah.

 

[Cbx750p]

The problem with PI is the Aftersales support. Their workshops can only do oil change and some simple brakes or suspension changes but when it comes to diagnostic, they are lost.

[Accordvtec]

sponsor lah....will call vincent tomolo...

wah...pao toh gia leh......

kidding.
