I was shocked to see a perelli ed 2008 mk5 gti for 22k at my dealer. I was told its because its fully loaded but still seems a lot to me? Then again mine cost me 16k 6months ago on a 57reg with a few extras!
-
Rich will be along soon :signLOL:
-
if i'm not mistaken wasn't the Pirelli edition just over 23k new ? (+ options)
sounds like dealers are charging top dollar for limited edition cars at the moment
-
It's because people are paying it, the new car Market is still on it's arse, whereas the used car Market has never been stronger.
-
indeed, i can show you the same car as mine, 1 year old, for the same money i bought mine new for sale now
crazy economy :laugh:
-
most of pirellis in dealer network are ex vw cars, spec wise they have nav but not much else, agree they are silly money :scared:
-
My '08' Edition 30 3 door DSG is up for £20995 at a dealer ..... but it is a good one :laugh:
-
6months ago when I found my gti the dealer had a ed30 08reg for 18500 but I couldn't stretch that far! Seat dealer offered me 15k for my gti and told me the vw dealer sold it me cheap
-
£22k for last years Pirelli does seem a lot but it makes me happy as it keeps the residuals up.
Then again, most of the newish used Mk6's are touching £30k on dealer forecourts - just look at the used GTi's on the VW website. The first 3 pages of the search are all GTi's over £27k !!!!!
That makes the Pirelli bit of a bargain with the spec they have - and it is a limited edition - somthing like 250 in the country
-
Well, the Pirelli is truely a limited edition - it certainly will hold its value well mainly because the Golf MK5 has been the best Golf out ( MK3 & Mk4 were a dissapointment )
I paid £21,850 for mine with 12,800 on the clock. It had DSG, rear sensors, muliti functional steering wheel ( most extras come as standard )
I have to say, i think i paid £1000 too much, but thats a buyers market for you.
I'm over the moon with the car, i just love everything about it, the wheels grow on me everyday & the interior is soo lush, everyone comments how they love the seats.
Sure other Pirelli owners say the same thing :happy2:

Pity they only made the Pirelli in Silver and Black.

there are few graphite blue ones around :love: :love: :love:

Agree with the above, but that same top spec car last year was touching 29k.
Personally if it has all the toys, then 22k is worth it :happy2:
-
They did yellow but I don't think that was for the uk

Must be very very few in numbers as i've not seen anything anywhere of these!

The yellow and graphite blue are available in Australia.
Of course, that is only the other side of the planet. :)
pricing here is high 40s/ low 50s depending on spec, so about the same as they are in the uk.
Here's a yellow one in aus with the full apr kit (minus intake):
