It's like they say about bj's, the worst one is still fantastic.

It'll be the first generation people modify the GTI infotainment system and downgrade to the base system.
Noice.

The car magazines test the vehicles provided by VW which are nearly always top of the line models.I've started to tune out all the reviews and comparos. (North American market)
Every single one mentions the 30K base price
Every single one condemns the GTI for the infotainment and the lack of knobs.
Every single single review seems to be of the Autobahn model which is close to 40K
No one seems to have reviewed the base model that actually cost 30K and has a different infotainment system featuring 2 big old knobs.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step.We all don't hang out at truck stop glory holes, man.
Unless it’s actively on fire, I don’t think there’s a car around that you could get a $4k discount on. MSRP is about as good as it gets in this market.So, at least one person from our local club has picked up a MK8 GTI already. He says he paid MSRP, so no crazy markup at least locally, but I paid almost 4k under MSRP for my 19 in April 2019.
Considering how high the used car market prices are, it could very well be a positive to sell your used car now - and get into a new car.Unless it’s actively on fire, I don’t think there’s a car around that you could get a $4k discount on. MSRP is about as good as it gets in this market.
A few months ago my offer from my dealer was $24k. It’s crept up to $26k now. My issue is that the Mk8 SE is $36k, while mine was $30k. That’s a lot of price creep just to get my preferred Reflex Silver.Considering how high the used car market prices are, it could very well be a positive to sell your used car now - and get into a new car.
I got offered $15,000 at Mazda, and $16 plus at CarMax.
That's more than enough to offset what any VW dealer would take off of a current GTI under the best normal conditions.

Yes, I'm not saying that a MK8 is worth abandoning our MK7's for - considering how expensive 8's are and their questionable interiors.I was out the door for $28k on my new ‘19 Rabbit Ed.
Carvana offered $32k at last check, and the local dealership said they’d beat that.
I just can’t stomach $40k for a 2018 R with 26k on the clock.
If the MK8 is that much better than the MK7/7.5, then maybe I’ll eat the price differences.. but that has yet to be seen objectively.

But if one wanted a MK8 the loss of what a dealer wouldn't discount can be made up for in what our used vehicle is worth.
