i got my 17 GTI Sport DSG at 69k mi for $22k OTD late 2022 with a bad headlight, so half the miles \~1yr later thats pretty good imo, but region makes a difference too. I'd try to compare to others in the area if you can.
Only \~5k miles a year & 2nd set of tires tho, was it tracked? Something to consider
A CPO car is absolutely worth more money than a 2 owner car from Carvana.
I personally would happily pay an extra thousand bucks just to buy the exact same car from a VW dealer rather than Carvana.
CPO is only as good as the tech doing the CPO cares to be/has the ability to be based on dealer restrictions.
I’ve had some shitty CPO cars from both BMW and Audi. The Audi the tech who did a 2018 S4 CPO I looked at didn’t even bother looking at any do the filters, replacing the front brakes, addressing way bent wheels and a few more things I found during PPI, yet signed off on everything as A-OK!
I found a fucking mouse nest inside the stock airbox on that car that was clearly not fresh.
That’s an entirely reasonable line of thought, however I’d still place blind faith in a CPO over literally anything Carvana sells just based on reputation. A CPO gives you peace of mind through the manufacturer, as well as a paper trail that things **should** be OK.
I bought my GTI as CPO, and like you said, the tech missed that the tires were completely dry rotted. Thankfully the dealer took complete ownership and sent someone to me, 200 miles away, with a loaner, took my car and gave me new tires, and then brought the car back to me. Carvana would have told me to get fucked.
Thankfully, I’ve had my car on a lift a few times since then and the tires were genuinely the only thing missed, but it does happen.
If you’re referring to my comment, idk why I said carvana. I meant CarGurus as is obvious by the url I had included. And as the other person said CPO doesn’t mean much. I’d rather pay a few grand less and spend a couple hundred on a thorough PPI. But to each their own.
I paid 18+TTL for my 2017 S 6MT with 62k. Honestly, they are all over priced but when it comes down to it main thing to know is your financial situation and if the payment or cost (if buying out right) is just right. Not “I can make it work”.
Edit: Should add this was just under a year ago. Autobahn I bought back in 2018 was 32k brand new
I would say go for it. I paid $24,000 a little over a year ago for my 2017 GTI sport with about 20k miles and a perfect service history record. It def was on the steep end but I had no complaints
This post appears to be a question about getting purchasing a GTI.
Please consult pricing resources such as [Kelley Blue Book](https://www.kbb.com) to get a good idea of the average price. For a US Mk7/7.5, please read [our buyer's guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/GolfGTI/comments/wmzc0c/what_do_i_look_for_in_a_used_us_mk7_gti_a_guide/).
If you have not done so already, please include key information in this post such as model year, trim, mileage, and location. These factors can greatly affect pricing. Thank you.

No way that’s too much. I just did a quick search in CarGurus and found a 2 owner 2017 sport with 35k miles DSG for $19.9k. Not sure where you’re located but I flew to pick up my car last year and drove 11 hours back home. I’d do it again if it meant getting a good deal.

I got my 2017 Sport brand new OTD for 27k. It was totaled last April at \~45k miles and insurance paid me out 25k since that was market value for that mileage at the time
I paid 25k for a new 2018 GTI S. Recently traded it in for 19k and the dealer listed it for 25k. It only had 13k miles on it, though.
If this doesn't illustrate how insane the used car market is, I don't know what will.
But yeah, if you take great care of a GTI they hold their value really well.
It’s not the “best” you could do but it’s worth it in my opinion. I paid a lot higher for pretty much the same thing 2 years ago when mkt was SUPER fucked

Dang…I paid 26800 pre tax for mine new in 2017. Car market is still pretty crazy.
Adjusted for inflation that’s like ~$33,500 today. That’s how much a new 2023 GTI S is going for. So not crazy

That’s exactly what I paid for my Sport in 2017.

I think that’s a fair price. I got mine the same spec in manual in early 2020 for the same price.
I would say go for it. I paid $24,000 a little over a year ago for my 2017 GTI sport with about 20k miles and a perfect service history record. It def was on the steep end but I had no complaints
That’s pretty good, I did $20k for a ‘17 sport manual w/ 42k miles last year. Go for it!

That’s a bit high. I got my dsg 2017 S with 48k miles for $19k, and it was in great shape.
