Didn't want to start a new thread but I'm thinking of this clubsport but does anyone have any info on it? It is number 757 but if you look at the second photo there seems to be a worryingly large part of the dash missing.

I think I'd give that particular car a miss judging by that image of the dash.
I'd also want a car with either Pretoria's or Quaranta alloys.

In one breath it says it has the tech pack, in the description it says it only has a 6.5" screen and in the pictures someone has nicked the f**k*r :grin:

Yup. The radio/Nav and the vents/Trims above it are missing. Hmmm!

I've seen many cars described incorrectly on the Autotrader website. They seem to use a 'generic' description for some cars which doesn't always accurately reflect the car that's for sale. For this Clubsport, it also states it's got front and rear parking sensors (Clubsport only has rears).

I think that before I took the time and trouble to go and view the car, I'd contact the dealer and ask why the centre vents and infotainment screen were missing and see if the dealer's explanation sounds plausible.

I'm going to ring them but thought I'd ask here first in case someone knows the car.

I don't put much pass on what dealers say about spec on auto trader because the usually just tick checkboxes and often doesn't make sense.

It is the right colour, right amount of doors, right wheels and dynaudio but I'm put off by the rather obvious hole in the dash. I'm looking at a different one later.

What do you think of the price, be better at under £30k?

It would be better at under £30k, and there are Clubsports on Autotrader and in the 'Used' section on WV's website at sub-£30k but they don't match your spec requirements, and it's unlikely there'll be too many around that do match your ideal spec, especially if that includes the Clubsport seats. The dealer will undoubtably use the argument about it being produced in limited numbers / it's rare, to justify the asking price too. 

I suppose it comes down to whether it's worth the asking price to you and how keen/desperate the dealer is to sell it. I'd want reassurances from the dealer though that there's a good, legitimate reason for the missing vents and infotainment screen and that the car doesn't have a dubious past; it shouldn't have with a delivery mileage of just 10 miles though!

Lots of dealers still remove head units/radios/entertainment to stop them being stolen. Despite the face that the VW stuff is almost useless if stolen (at the moment), idiots will still steal them. If it ain't there, no point damaging the car.
