- Original MSRP: Low 20‑k€ on launch.
- Mileage: 30–80 k km generally keeps the vehicle within the higher end of depreciation curves.
- Condition: Minor cosmetic wear is often accepted; frame damage or major mechanical issues tilt the price down.
- Optional Tech: Existing Tech packages, night‑vision, premium Bose audio, or enhanced keyless systems can add €300‑€800 on top of standard offers.
- Location: Scandinavian markets tend to command roughly 4 % higher prices for used GTIs than some Southern European markets due to lower humidity and superior road conditions.
