Anyone brave enough?

So has everyone seen that Lookers Battersea are selling a 10 mile old Mk 8 Golf GTI DSG today for £32,999 (16 full colour pics of physical car now on Autotrader to view).

Anyone on here brave enough to part with their cash now to beat the waiting list??  It is the same (not very pleasant) grey paint with the same (seriously unpleasant) standard 18 inch alloys as the car the Cheltenham VW dealer received this wk (as pictured by Andrew Chapple on Volkswizard).  I wonder if all of the first physical cars into UK dealers will be this same paint/alloys/gearbox combo?

£32,999 feels like a fair sticker price discount on list before negotiations begin?

I was offered a plain white Dsg one ready in about two weeks. For less money than that 😉

For some reason these battleship grey paint shades seem quite popular at the moment, but i've never been enamoured with them. Good job there are other options available.

I really like the colour but it's not a good choice for every shape of car.

I've wanted a grey one since I saw a rs8 in it years ago.

Skoda i think have had that colour for quite some time too. Vw late to the party.

Yep, apparently it's the standard colour on the new Octavia vRS. Previously it was a paid option.

[Shooey]

A dealer had several cars advertised, I found a spec pretty close to what I wanted, spoke with them yesterday & was told the car is not due until late December?

Not really sure why they advertised it? If you see a physical car with pan roof/19s/DCC please let me know.

God agreed on the colour.

If someone had asked me to guess what the cool new colour for cars would be a few years back, the last thing I would have said would be flat battleship grey..

Looked corking on the tcr though, it really did.

It did, I think that's testament to just how nice the TCR looks though.
