    Hello everyone,

    In Oct 84 (8v) 7,865
    May 85 (8v) 7,958
    Dec 86 (16v) 10,894
    Mar 88 (16v) 11,554
    Only figures I could find, I'd say in 91 probably around the 12-13,000 mark

    my old mk2 was 16k new, i was shocked! extras like full leather and electric mirrors cost alot of money, also metalic paint was an extra 600 i think.

    That sounds quite expensive for the 90s. I thought they would cost less than that.... Some body told me that the Solid Black colour is an optional colour which is the same price as the metalic paint. Is this true??

    i bet you could have paid nearly 20k if you had all extras.
    im guessing here but say.
    leather, 1500- 2000?
    aircon, 1500
    winter pack, 700?
    thats 19 allready, then theres metalic/pearl, leccy windows, sounds, alloys, alarms.

    so price hasnt changed alot in 15 years, (what you get for 20k i mean)

    I've a magazine article that says:

    When the Corrado arrived in the UK in mid-1889 it was powered by VW's plain 136bhp 1.8litre 16V engine and cost 17,000. A Golf GTI 16V cost 13,000 and the Scirocco Scala 11,600.

    I thought they were around the 15-16K mark back in 91.

    Solid black was a cost option on all models except GTi in 1989. It was a no cost option on GTi.
    I have a vague recollection on non GTi models it was slightly less expensive than metallic.
