New Gti advice.

Nice one! I've had mine nearly 4 years and still love driving it. Still love the look of it too, when I'm walking back to it in a car park, it stands out as better looking and more interesting than the others

Been following the MY20 thread, the GTI Performance is starting to look like a bargain.
34k for a new TCR or 24.7 for a pre-reg gti old skool style-3- door, manual, black.
I know what i’d buy. Well done OP.

I feel I’ve got a good deal.

There wasn’t much negotiation to be had but got some accessories thrown in.  So overall I’m happy. 

I wouldn’t have considered a new car due to the depreciation.  But feel that the pre reg price softens the blow a little. 

Plan at the mo would be to keep it long term. 

I have a works vehicle so the mileage will be kept at a minimum and it will be tucked up in a garage when not in use.

is it a PP model ?

[Mavericktom]

Yes.  The performance spec

Collected the car from the dealer today.   I only put a few miles on her.  Had a play with some of the tech which will take me a while to get used to.   But all in all really pleased with the car.   I'll take her for a longer run tomorrow.  I'll give it a few miles and get it run in a little before opening it up. 

She's booked in for a new car detail and ceramic coating. unfortunately he's fully booked until next month  Whoever washed her at the dealers has managed to leave a few light scratches, which should polish out.

Good for you Mavericktom After nearly 4 years with mine I still really enjoy driving it, hopefully you'll get as much enjoyment too!

[Mavericktom]

Thanks Watts

Took her out for a spin.  First time in ages I've just gone for a drive.  Stretched the legs a little. 

really impressed.  Still didn't want to push it too hard but theres definitely more than enough power there.  I played with all the tech which is a little alien to me.  But its actually really easy to use.
