Basically they knowingly sold a Clubsport S to a another small car salesman (who also happened to be a good friend of one of the directors) who then immediately put it up for sale at £48k. When I questioned them about it they denied any wrongdoing, removed my posts and banned me from replying

Offline I wanted a GTi

I've noticed those too CraigW. When I asked he came clean but still wanted £2k profit.

Planning to order a new Golf R.

DSG, 5 door, Indium Grey, Sunroof, Keyless, 90% Tints.

Plan to take the 19's from my current R and have them refurbished in gloss black. Also planning to move my Carbon Mirror caps over to the new one.

New R is pretty well specced as standard with Nav & Winter Park so isn't asking for much. May add App-Connect at a later date.

You get it included with the basic Nav (included in base spec on all performance Golf 7.5's)

No need to add :D

You are correct! I must have mis-read the brochure but re-reading now and checking the configurator. App-Connect is standard on an R! Brilliant! :)

I'm currently at a point where I'm dead-even on my finance so could PX and get a new FL car for not much more a month (+£40). The problem is nobody wants to touch the broker price I've got and brokers don't want a PX.  :cry:

So I either wait it out until dealer deposit contributions go up. Sell privately or do nothing!

If you want to PX then Orange Wheels should sort that out for you. I know DTD say no DTD but the VW dealer they put you in touch with might look into offering PX if you are selling a VW. I will need to sell my GTI when my R arrives so will look into this option soon.
To be honest the Audi dealer who contacted me throw Orange Wheels gave me a lousy PX price for my GTI.
So ended up with a R on order through DTD.

That's outrageous in all respects!  Do these people not realise that with the internet these days they're going to be found out - and now no one on here (ie. Golf enthusiasts) in their right mind will ever buy a car from them.
