New To Sevs: Vw Scirocco

[Iron Chef]

Food for thought for those of you who like Euro stuff - Scirocco GT 147kW, Scirocco R 195kW (same 2.0 TSI motor as the Golf)

Christmas just came early... as did I. Just then. Think about it. Yup.

Goddamnit, and I just bought a Golf

[Iron Chef]

All good, keep the Golf for 12 months and change over once someone has plates for them!

The Focus RS is next in my sights too....

[Basti]

sweet. was sad panda when i heard that VW weren't doing the sirocco in aus

Invasion of the grey market hot hatches is imminent.

These cars have been a runaway success in Europe/UK/USA and australian manufacturers still refuse to bring over the cream of the crop. They're about to get caught with their pants down.

I am moving to England for 12 months because they are getting 101 of the 500 cars, Ireland is getting 3.....

They actually did a vinyl wrap for the RS500s must be a bugger of a job! Tough car though, 5 cyl sounds awesome.

can't be that hard if it's done while everything's disassembled.

Shan, which model did you get?

Reason they don't bring them (all those real hot hatches) here is because once they get here they have to be sold for 65k plus to be in the right market.

no one will but that when they can get a golf gti for 20k less

oooohhh. nice one chef. keep me updated about compliance availability if you know anyone planning to add them. I am about to buy a new 'boring' car for daily duties and have lately been tossing up between a Golf R32 or a Golf GTI or a very neat V35 or V36 skyline coupe. BUT I do very much like the scirocco. what are we looking at price wise for a GT or an R FOB? what do you reckon will be best country for export? Need to find out where they sell RHD models in good numbers I guess.

[funkymonkey]

what's the odds that this is picked up by Modena?

[JAS-25T]

Don't ignore me, kent

I'll tell you when I see the car. All I know is that its a MK4 Golf Petrol if that helps, so def not a TDi.

[Iron Chef]

There's a crew down in Vic that applied for them as new cars apparently, but it has now hit 18 months since they were sold new overseas, making them eligible as used cars.

You'd be looking ex-UK for the RHD factor, and in terms of price, I suspect low-km used ones would be a similar price to what the equivalent Golfs are new over here. We shall see.

[funkymonkey]

They're actually holding value relatively well in the UK compared to the Golfs, I'm sure it'll change slightly in a year's time.
