New arrival, after looking for three months;



Purchased on condition, its an 11 plate and therefore six years old, but look no carbon inside the exhaust and very little rust on the hubs

Basically, short supply. There are a maximum of 30 nationwide on VW.com (yes more on autotrader) but when you filter for 5 doors, manual, cloth its a very short list. This was right on the edge of my 100 mile search radius.

Agreed, if you like leather and DSG there are two good ones on autotrader. In my search, I think I saw one white/manual/cloth but it was too far away for me.

When I bought my 2010 GTI the dealer said there would be a premium second hand as not many had been built for UK in 2009/10.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.
