Shouyi 3rd Gear July 23, 2021 Share July 23, 2021 For those who bought the Golf 8, does the autohold function deactivates itself when put in reserve gear ? Meaning, when you put your car in reverse gear, does the car reverse immediately or you need to step the accelerator before it reverse ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried during test drive, you need to step on the accelerator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostshellz 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 For all Mk8 golf owners, dun feel shortchanged for your purchase. It’s a good buy. A3 135k price is based on 30k overtrade from their 165k listed price after trading in your car. If u dun trade in to their ridiculous low price, u have to top-up 3k for not trading-in. In addition, u have to take a min loan based on 82.5k (50% of 165 listed price) and pay more interest. And it doesn’t come with 3x free servicing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostshellz 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 Yes. Golf pricing is direct purchase, no need to trade in. U can sell off ur car yourself for better price. (Carro/Quotz). VCS is always very transparent in their pricing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loan is based on the 135k and the interest is low less than 2%. It doesnt come with 3x servcing though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logtas 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 (edited) Golf life plus cost price is 110k with coe 60k. So at 132k, 22k profit, 17% profit. Normally VW can go as low as 8% profit to sell a car. U do your sums to gauge if it is a good buy. Was kind of surprised that golf 1.5 was selling well with no promo at all. Kind of hard to bargain.

Ghostshellz 1st Gear July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 @Logtas Did u actually pay 135k for the new A3 without any trade-in and overtrade? If yes, pls share. I was at PA and my SE show me otherwise during the A3 launch. It was base on 165k retail with 30k overtrade by trading in to them as I mentioned.

Which is likely a launch promotion. U can't be possibly believe a3 is worth 160k. If 160k, rather look at bmw series 3. Anyway they no longer selling at 135k if you go to the website.
