Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[Indoctrine]

The production date on my Mk7.5 is 13 June 2017 but the VIN lists it as a 2018 model. I've got it insured as a 2017 since they didn't have 2018 and it had the correct engine power for the Trendline (coz it jumped from 92kW to 110kW) so I figure it's close enough.

Have put an order in today. Currently awaiting finance approval.

Pure White GTI DSG with infotainment pack and 2 year extended warranty for 52k.

Was told that there some sort of worldwide shortage on the active info display and they said it may be a 6 month wait...

After finance gets approved i was told that they would be searching for the car? and I would get a better indication on delivery time.

Has anybody here been quoted changeover from a Mk 7 standard GTI to a Mk 7.5 standard GTI ?

I realise the new one would only give me better headlights, a few extra horses and Apple Airplay but I'm still toying with the idea

I'd go same spec as a I have now ... manual, sunroof and DAP.

$25K changeover

I resisted "telling him he was dreamin' "


Oh well, I prefer the look of the Mk7 GTI anyway.

That’s why we call them “stealers”

That's actually a pretty fair changeover before any serious haggle.

Trade for a 2015 GTI manual is $22-25k at best, and a new manual GTI with DAP and sunroof would list for $50k odd in Victoria.

I'm not saying it's a good deal - there isn't enough in the new car to warrant changing over, but a dealer's got to have a margin somewhere, there really isn't much in it on new cars.

There might be room to get it down to $20k odd, but to expect it to dip below that is pretty unreasonable.

That looks like nearly full price

Yeah they didn't really budge. The best i could do was get 2 year extended warranty thrown in which is worth 1800.
