I've had my '08 GTI 6MT for 19 mos and 12k miles (primarily a summer car) It is a joy to drive.
What is not a joy:
OEM summer Bridgestones fanning/feathering so bad (the noise) they had to be replaced at 8k miles, I would not get summer tires.
 
MPG counter went haywire shortly after purchase.
 
Plastic skid plate/rock guard protecting engine compartment just fell off at highway speed, I thought i ran over something but there was nothing in front of me on the highway. Haven't had it replaced.
 
Good little car with gobs of torque and still gets good gas mileage.
 
Oh, another negative, all the ricers want to race me.

hi ghetdo,
 
what was the trick in getting the price below invoice? what did you say? also, what do you think about this deal?
 
2009
DSG
4 doors
premium radio
18 "
tinted windows
 
is it fair to negotiate it for OTD $$23,000 ? his offer was for $24,152 without TTL & Dealer Fee . What should I say to get it for $23,000??
THank you for any input from anyone.

Im looking at on 06 new gti manual hatchback that only has 8100 miles on it..?!!
The dealer price is around $19,000. TMV on edmunds is more like $12000.
Autocheck has it listed as a fleet, rental or lease car.
Does this sound like a good deal..if I can get the dealer down in price?
Im set to test drive this week.
Thanks

For $12,000? Yeah, it would be a fair deal. For $19,000, no, total rip-off.

Most dealers / sales people are SHARKS. DON'T BUY IT !! that's not a FAIR price. I understand that they have to make some money from customers , however that price is NOT A FAIR DEAL.

Becareful going back in. It just shows them that you REALLY want this car and that you are "sweating" them. Go in there with a solid goal (price) in your mind and if they don't budge then GET UP AND WALK OUT , PERIOD.
