Ah ok,

STI was stickered at $38,500, I got it for $35K even. If I had waited another year, I would have gotten it for around $32K due to the "fire sale" they had sometime late '08, iirc.

GTI autobahn MT stickered at $31,500, iirc, and I got it for $28,950.

Ah those are about in line with I would expect to pay.

Didn't they do 6k off MSRP and 0% APR for 60 month when they first came out? everyone hated that body for some reason. And gas at $5 a gallon and 18mpg didn't help.

right, that was in November of 2008. The 2008 STI came out in 2007, just like I bought a 2011 GTI in August of 2010. It was an incredible deal and those who bought during that time had good equity for at least 2 years, if not longer.

something about the price just seems fishy.

They're out of warranty and four years old. I'd still take that V8 any day over the turbo 6. German lux mobiles tank in value after years 3-4.

so maxtdi, i think we are both in the same situation here. i CAN take the train to work, i just like driving. but IF i get a golf R i definitely will be taking the train. and i just recently got a new job (April), and i make double what i did at my last job. should we nut on this and get the R? its been in the back of my mind for at least the past 2 months and now im thinking about it daily.

Look, I had a 2011 DSG GTI Autobahn w/ APR 1+ and I traded for a 2013 Golf R. I'm not upset at all. It wasn't the best financial decision in the world but I love it. I can get some wicked snow here in the midwest, and the 4Motion is going to be fantastic. Is the interior mostly like an Autobahn package? Yes. Can you put a K04 in a GTI? Yes. No chance to get a 4Motion in a GTI. Look, I really liked my GTI, but I LOVE my R. I just feel right in it. Get in some cars, drive them, and you'll find the one for you.

Maybe I like being completely different. I see a handful of GTIs. I've seen two other R's around town. I have already ordered HPA Stage 2+ mods along with the Haldex "Competition" controller, and I know no one else is going to have my car. And I can't wait to blow the doors off Mustangs and Camaros and BMW 3 series (excluding Ms).
