In 2010 R113 500 was enough to buy you a brand-new Volkswagen Citi Golf Mk 1. Today youll need a cool R1-million for one as close to new as you can still find.
A 2010 VW Citi Golf Mk 1 LTD made headline this year when it went under the hammer at a Creative Rides auction in Bryanston. A bid of R550 000 was rejected, as it did not meet the reserve price. This was rumoured to be close to a million Rand.
Special Citi GolfMaking this Citi Golf extra special is the fact that it is number three of the last 1 000 to roll off the assembly line at the VW plant in Kariega. Cars No 001 and 002 reside in the VW Museum in Wolfsburg and the Autopavilion in Uitenhage, leaving this one as the only privately available example from the trio.
