Are auction Golfs mostly diesel or petrol? expand_more

After the diesel-emissions scandal, used Golfs at auction in Australia skew petrol. TDI examples still appear but in lower volume than pre-2016.

Salvage & write-off Volkswagen Golfs

A large share of Volkswagen Golf listings at salvage auction are write-offs. A repairable write-off Volkswagen Golf can be rebuilt and re-registered after a state inspection; a statutory write-off is for parts, wrecking or a donor only. Check the WOVR status on each listing — and the sold-price history — before you bid on a damaged Volkswagen Golf.
