Frequently asked questions

Why do 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI prices range from $7,806 to $19,998?

How much should mileage change the price of a 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI?

Expect roughly $1,200 less for every 10,000 miles on the odometer. A 60K-mile example should cost about $3,600 less than a 30K-mile one of the same trim — check the fair-price-by-mileage table above for your band.

How we calculate these prices

We track 185 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites nationwide, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to remove data errors, salvage titles, and monthly-payment figures posted as if they were sale prices. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
