Snoopy Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Anyone got any idea?Tim's plucked a figure of 5,000 out of thin air, which I reckon is complete ****. I think there are fewer GTI Lupos around than VX220s (which is generally believed to be around the 1,000 mark).As exhibit A, Autotrader has 27 GTIs up for sale nationally, compared to 97 VX220s.Anyone care to comment?Edit: and out of those 27 GTIs, mine's the 5th cheapest, and out of those 5 it's the newest, the only one with 6 gears, and the only one with Aircon. So buy it! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Great sales technique. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Someone used to keep tabs on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Interesting thread, to which I have no idea. In the early days of the forum matt did have some sales figures for a particular month that gave all sorts of data. If we could somehow find that you could at least come to a guess based on those figures.My gut says more than a 1000, but not as many as 5000.

Tigz™ Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Sales rocketted this last year.When I got my motor, it was under a thousand.Id say its close to 3000 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Thinking about it, how many colours did they do the VX in? If theres only 1000ish, that doesnt leave many for each colour. Means my limited edition run of 100 yellow ones isnt so exclusive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I think it was 99 not 100 ya know Max.Dont know if that makes you feel any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Nah, they made 100. Might be down to 99 in a couple of weeks though.ROFLNO, wrong, shouldnt joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 TBH when I was looking there were about 5 lightning yellow ones around here for sale, compared to one blue one within 150 miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I stand corrected.Only 100 will be built, all of which will be finished in a new 'Lightning Yellow' colour scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazraz_uk Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 For GTI sales figures wasnt it something like 300 a year will be produced so that should be around the 1200 mark shouldnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupokeith Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Could allways try SMMT they may have the figures style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":idea:" border="0" alt="idea.gif" /> I would guess at `2000-3000` :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 will be interesting to see how the GTI's rarity will affect `re-sale` value in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 QUOTE(DanGTI)will be interesting to see how the GTI's rarity will affect `re-sale` value in a couple of years.possibly - maybe a bit like the corrado - although i don't think the loop will become as sought after as that. current residuals are ok, but dealers take the piss if you try and part ex.

DanGTI Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 yeah book values on loops and arosas are silly....but they are desirable little cars. my standard silver GTI always gets attention and people are always asking about it. i dont think Ill want to ever get rid of it though. Even if I get something faster, more expensive etc etc the little loop is a special little motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
