Best way to waste 40k



  53 Clio's & counting
A Golf R convertable.

Got this in for PDI, don't get me wrong it's a lovely car, but so so sooooo overpriced

I'm guessing it will be one a PCP type deal?


Na, the area I live in is full of people with money to waste - we had a mother and daughter in about 5 years ago and we had a baby blue beetle convertable in the showroom, and the convo went:

mum, I really wan that beetle - no, you can't I have just bought you a Golf. But mum please! No, you have the golf. But mum I REALLY want it! Oh ok come on then.

And she bought it there and then. 22k.
 
I don't care about the money. That's just a seriously s**t looking car. A Rolf R with a tent for a roof. No ta.

EDIT: I thought they were 4WD? I don't see a drive shaft?

I actually like the roof - it is very high quality and is a perfect fit, though I still think it's 10k too expensive.

Edit for Roy, the convertable is FWD only, the normal one is 4WD

for what it is, it looks great.

But £40k... the depreciation on that is surely going to be scary!

That's Caterham R500 money.

Blowing away Ferraris + Lamborghinis, or blowing off all the boys at the gay bar. Tough call.

The convertable shell couldn't acommodate the 4wd system and still retain the rear passenger space, boot space and weight/mpg figures VW wanted mate, plus the production costs of modifying the shell would have stuck the price up even more

I remember reading about this a while back and just shook my head.

People do buy them though. Same people who buy cars like the RS5.

£40k for a front wheel drive, flaccid, gay hot hatch? Lol no thanks

I dont want to live on this planet anymore

Mad money but someone will buy it. You would be surprised how many overpriced cars in funny colours sell well. Stick them in a flash showroom and people will buy.

I think they look lovely. Just not 40k lovely or anywhere near that figure tbh.

40k is clearly way too much, but then some would say 20k is too much for a clio/megane/focus etc

There is not one golf on the market that is good value really, you're just paying for the badge at the end of the day, and the badge isn't even that good.

^^^ - doesn't that just sum up the purchasing decision for this Golf buyer too?

Stick a Dacia badge on the boot. After they say "WhoTF is that?" while pointing at the logo, next they will simply laugh at you when saying that it costs £20k. Double it and add a VW sticker and the world is alright again.

At times like these, ROFL is elevated to a whole new meaning.

40k is ridiculous money but so are some peoples comments on here. AFAIK an Audi A5 convertible is much slower, an S5 starts at 46k. Caterham R500, very practical to use everyday isn't it? What other performance convertibles are there for 40k brand new?

I genuinely can't get my head around £40,000. FOR A GOLF.

All I can think looking at the price tag is I can buy a 3/4 year old GTR for that.


I know the running costs are more and blah blah before anyone starts.
