Has anyone sold a new Polo (particularly GTI) yet? If so why?

Thanks for keeping an eye out mate. I'm a weird fish in that I either go for a top-spec with everything or a lower spec with nothing. Bi-Xenons and a Sunroof would see that thing at about $36-37k on road I'm guessing (without discount). If I could order a fresh one it'd be 3 door with audio & comfort at most. I know, I know, beggars can't be choosers.

I turned down a Candy White 5 door with Bi-Xenons and Leather/Alacantra (due in October) at Chatswood Classic Clowns for similar reasons.

Only seven Polo GTIs on Carsales - VOLKSWAGEN POLO GTI DSG Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au

All except two seem to have no options. None seem anywhere cheaper compared to buying one new, considering you still them have to pay stamp duty.

That was my car posted as a link for sale. I only sold it because we needed the extra space for a third passenger at times in the rear seat. We have two baby seats that took up all the available space. We traded the Polo in for a Golf GTi.

I got the polo gti leather, sun roof and bi xenon "because" I like it compact. And the golf gti was just to large of a car for me.

I was the same when I was looking. I too was offered the CW GTI with everything at CCC in March but for high $30s. Too much for a small car.

I did the drive back from Wagga and it was fantastic. 28 litres is all it took! Just have to watch the needle on the highway - not a fan of the red and blue lights. Would do it again.

Yep, me sentiments exactly re: the specced up Polo. If I was going to drop 37k on a car I would have just blown an extra 5 and gotten a golf gti or a WRX.

Sabby - my friend told me about her boss that rang around the State and drove to Wagga to get a Polo Gti. Wonder if it's you lol

I got sick of waiting for a non-existant date on the GTI I ordered, especially when I rung around and discovered one in stock at a rural dealer and snapped it up straight away. Wasn't in the spec I wanted though (not even close -- wanted a sunroof badly!).

So I'll probably sell the one I own when the one I ordered last January finally arrives! Probably won't have to drop the price much either!

Just noticed that about 5 new Polo GTIs popped up on carsales for anyone that doesn't want to wait - VOLKSWAGEN POLO GTI DSG Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au

Good pick-up. I checked the other day and there were only about 7 nationwide. It's scary to see them pricing up in Golf Gti territory but I guess it's fully optioned. I hate to think about re-sale in 3-5 years though if you dropped 39k on a Polo Gti.
