I don't know where these deals were for around £25k as I extensively searched autotrader, desperate seller, all the VW dealerships, eBay, pistonheads etc & the best I could see was a 17 plate with circa 6k miles at £26,680 or something. I had the cash & there was very little wriggle room on asking price & believe me I went in low on a few & they wouldn't budge much, so in my experience cash is not king.
Anyways bought the car, couldn't take away today as there was a small blemish on the front left alloy which looked like a manufacturing fault the dealer will fix but other than that, the car has 47 miles on the clock, dry stored & can't wait to actually drive it.
