Ive had my eye closely on anni prices for a couple of months now - is it me or are they dropping quite rapidly?

2 months ago u would struggle to get one for under 15k but recently they seem to be around 13k with some going for 12k!!

I dont know if this is just co-incidence that there were just expensive ones around when i first started looking or what - in theory though no-one is gonna spend 15k on a 2 year old, older shape car when they can get a brand new gti for 20k surely?

I might wait another few months before i get one and see what happens to anni tdi prices when they bring out the diesel version of the gti (170bhp isnt it?)

Whats everyone elses thoughts?

Me too. I paid top money but got a very nice example (thanx ChrisB![][B)]). Hey, we've owned them since May, what the hell. It's like if you buy a computer now you get super spec, if you wait a year you get double the spec for the same price - do you want a computer now or in a year's time?

They have deffo dropped. I was looking for a PD150, didn't even really know what an anniversary model was and ended up paying 13.5K for a really low mileage example from a main dealer. The same as a normal PD150 I thought.

Bargain for the extra kit you get with the anniversary.

They will drop because of the new mk5 GTi but I believe the prices will stabilise and the drop will slow down. After all the 25th anni edition isn't a standard car and is likely to hold it's value over the long term fairly well. The 20th hasn't done too bad.

How much did u pay for yours if u dont mind me asking?

All the cheaper ones seem to have high mileage which is to be expected really - i saw one go for 11.5k last week but it had over 60k miles on it so it wouldnt be under guarantee any more...

16K[:O]Was low milage(12000)& nice condition exept alloys but got new ones under warranty.

I paid slightly more ?16,500 IIRC for July 02 16k with new alloys and a high-spec MTX ICE install, Dynamat the lot. Plus I knew the car had been cared for.

Do you think the petrol may be a sought after model a few years down the line (i.e. enroute to 'classic car' status)? For all i love the soot, i don't see the diesel anni's doing the same...

 

[NikB]

At the moment the anni diesels are holding their value better than the petrol. But who knows?

 

[Tabs]

Remind me again how much these cars were again new?

Autotrader Clicky

I'm waiting till March now, no point getting one at the moment with people just not willing to drop price.

Indeed. BTW, how much were they new?
