Thats about a 5k mark up comparing it to this one at the same garage. http://www.gtiworld.co.uk/used-cars/Volkswagen/Golf%20GTIGTDR%20MK6%20Hatchback%205-Dr/2012/604840634/123155/ Ok this is a 62 plate and half the mileage. My standard alloys are 18" Charelston and sat nav and bi xenon lights.

Parkers came in at £14025. I washed it the other day and it looks good so does the polo. Did mention to the salesman that it has a stigma of being a woman's car!

I always think Parker's prices are on the optimistic side.

Doesn't have that stigma in the way that say the Beetle does, I wouldn't let it worry you.  Anyway, what's wrong with a woman's car  :whistle:

So you do have a penchant for women's cars then   :wink:  Good job the TT has evolved into a (slightly) more manly car, otherwise you'd be eyeing one of them up next   :laugh:

Polo GTI over a Mini anytime.
