Should I save the money or is it worth getting the GTI with less clicks. Also added in a 2016, but not really considering it. My budget is closer to 25k.
| Model | Price | Kilometres |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 VW GTI Performance | $25,080 | 37,393 km |
| 2015 VW GTI Performance | $28,775 | 18,921 km |
| 2016 VW GTI Performance | $29,995 | 34,500 km |

Between 18k & 37k, it looks like there would be one scheduled service check at 30k. If that work has been done and no issues found, then the 2015 model at 37k is a good deal. If the service was skipped or if there are issues that need to dealt with, then the lower price may get partially erased by the cost of maintenance or repairs.
Thanks for the advice. They couldn't assure me the 30k service was done, just that it was serviced 4 times. The car had also been in a accident front side near the wheel well. I am just going to stay away.
If you're budget is 25k-ish, then stick with it! I don't see any reason to pay 4 or 5 more grand for 15 to 20 less km. If the car's in good shape, and a mechanic you trust has looked it over, got for it. But stay in budget! Don't let the industry pressure you / trick you into spending more than you planned.
Yeah staying in budget is really important, I'm already pushing it. I went and saw the car today, the price is lower because it was in an accident. Although they assure me it was repaired properly I think I'm going to stay away and just get something much cheaper.
