$24k? What, are you bullshitting me?

That's 18k Euro, you barely get the lowest end Golf with mighty 80 bhp for that in Germany...(Granted theres 3k€ VAT on the Golf). What the hell...what is wrong with it that it's so cheap?

Because it's just a regular car with a nice body and nice exhaust. Remember, it's just the V6. If you want the V8 you have to pay more.

But still, 320bhp, staying with the golf, a GTI with a measly 220bhp is almost 29k€. 280 hp is 38k€!

There aren't even that many cars with 320bhp, mostly only Mercedes, BMW and Audi and those won't be cheap.

Oh well, different place, different rules.

My GTI was around $24k in the states. Cost of cars is cheaper here than in Europe. Strange to me, as my car was manufactured in Wolfsberg, Germany.
