Default Wow. What are you writing about? You just make statements...

of opinion as if they are fact?
Are you a product of 90's public education? ie, are you less than 25 years old?

Default No matter what you will be taking a huge hit to switch to essentilaly a lesser version of the same..

car. I'm not arguing your preference, just your logic, which in this case is very poor. And yes its moronic when you will take such a huge financial hit, for basically the same car. If you want I have a bridge I can sell you that has GTI badges on it : P.

Default Well, they don't need your business, so they don't need to get aggressive on your trade.

Absolutely no surprise. And what would they do with an almost new A3 when they have the GTi to compare it side by side? Maybe they can flip somebody into the A3 if they don't have enough GTIs, but then pricing needs to compete with a used GTI, because the VW dealer neither knows nor cares about what extra features make your A3 unique from the GTI.

Pick an upopular brand with a weak model line and see how they step up to the plate on trades. Those folks will want your business.

Default Me too with 3.2

I traded my 2.0t in for a 3.2 after 6 months and took a huge hit, too.

Yup. Another one bites the dust :-( They usually leave for greener pastures.
