david_phillips95 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Im seriously considering going to see this Laser Blue GTi in London, i think its a bit highly priced but might just be me. What i really want to know is what would this car be selling for if it was private. ill list the spec below. Dealer Price:£11290Age: 2005/55Colour: Laser Blue Mileage: 16000Previous Owners: 1Full Service history, Leather interior with heated front seats, aircon and six disc changer are the optional extras.I phoned today and offered them £10500 and they told me they wont sell the car for this, i really like this car but dont want to buy a car and lose a fortune on it if i go to sell it in the next few years.Cheers Dave Edited March 10, 2008 by david_phillips95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Fairy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 LAZER blue?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_phillips95 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Yeah laser blue replaced raveen blue, i think this must be one of the last GTi's produced. Laser Blue is slightly Darker than Raveen Blue, i love the colour but not keen on the price Dave Edited March 10, 2008 by david_phillips95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 nice spec, but i recon as soon as you drive it off the forecourt it would be worth 10k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr ColinG Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 nice spec, but i recon as soon as you drive it off the forecourt it would be worth 10k.Agree with Adam, its 2 and a half years old, a wee bit over priced even with that spec, but it depends how much you want it.

cardaft Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 There must only be two of them this colour, i only thought there was one until recently. Very very expensive though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_phillips95 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 yeah thats what i said on the phone and the guy basically said, becuase of its spec, colour and age we wont sell it for much less than £11290, i thought £10500 was a decent offer but looks like ill need to offer somewhere close to £11000 ill need to have a good think about it.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3boy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 if it had a sunroof aswell, i think it would be worth it, 10500 seems a very fair offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Over 10k, for a three year old car, rare colour or not. Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_phillips95 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 i have decided not to bother entertaining there daylight robbery scam it has everything i want in a GTI e.g. leather aircon low miles nice colour jst the price is a joke jst need to keep looking i suppose.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 It is a lot of money, even for something high spec with a bit of rarity value. However, they have you over a barrel as if you really want it there is hardly a huge amount of choice out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Your mad mate, for a tiny bit more you can have a MK5 Golf GTI which is much, much more car for that money.Youll get nowhere near 11k when you sell it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Your mad mate, for a tiny bit more you can have a MK5 Golf GTI which is much, much more car for that money.And a lot less special and more common... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_phillips95 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 the VW garage know they will get the money for it so they wont budge on price so im just gonna move on and forget about it. I would have loved that car with that spec but i just dont think its worth losing ££££'s over. Hopefully a good one comes my way soon as im starting to get impatient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Up to the 7K mark is a good/wise buy for this car, pay more and you stand to loose too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could crash it the next day, or it might get stolen, or you may need the cash and sell it.Personally i dont think it's worth spending too long looking for one, it just becomes torture and ultimately any GTI will give you the same amount of fun.

AndyW Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 if it was my money i'd be looking for an anthracite one.If I thought mine was worth 11k it would be gone by now. LOL.Perhaps this will sell at the asking price, personally I wouldn't be so confident, so keep on at the dealer if you really want it.

Tigz™ Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Very true, but thats just cutting your nose off to spite your face.Very good pointWho in there right mind would buy a Lupo GTI over a mk5 Golf GTI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
