Here in Australia I bought a 6 year old Citroen DS3 for about EUR 5.5k, and it had around 60k km on it. Now I was looking at ~3 year old Golf GTI/R, and you can get them for about a 5% discount over buying a brand new one... Why.
- imp0cat 3y agoThe old one was mk7 and the new one mk8? That would explain things.
- sk0g 3y agoThis was at the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022, so the Mk8 wasn't out yet. Mk 8 models are also a bit more expensive, so the discrepancy would be a bit better in that case, I would imagine. Out of curiosity, are the Mk8s not too well received, or are Mk7s preferred? I don't mind the change, but my current car works and I might as well hold out for an EV like Cupra Born or Peugeot e-208 personally.
- imp0cat 3y agoMk8 is a great car IF you don't mind touch screens and touch controls for everything instead of traditional rotating knobs and buttons. Unfortunately, a lot of people can't get over this change, so the Mk7 is considered a "peak GTI".
