1.8 TFSI CDAA, pricing breakdown
8P7 · 2008–2013 · Central EU · EUR · asking prices, not transaction prices
By facelift phase
| Phase | Years | Low (P10) | Average (median) | High (P90) | Good buy | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pre Pre-facelift | 2008–2013 | €3,450 | €5,500 | €8,500 | €4,500 | illustrative |
Split at the facelift rather than by single year: that is where the market actually steps, and single-year granularity would imply precision this data doesn't have.
Distribution
What the good-buy figure means
The good buy sits near the 30th percentile of asking prices, above the distressed cars at the bottom of the band, below the median, conditional on the car passing this variant's must-check list. It's not the cheapest price.
Any car without documentation for timing chain tensioner failure should be priced as if that repair is still owed.
A car below the good-buy figure with a known repair still owed is priced correctly, not cheap. Deduct the repair before you call it a bargain. On this variant the two dearest single items are excessive oil consumption (piston rings) at €150–€4,000 and dry-clutch dsg mechatronic failure at €1,200–€2,800.
Enter an asking price to get a verdict against this variant's band: cheap, fair, good buy or overpriced.
