Depends what you are after, and which options you wanted, but as the guys above pointed out, I would say you could get a decent one for arounf the £15-16k mark.
Pitch3110 was just very lucky, and good at finding a brilliant deal!!!! lol
I was after a car as new as possible, with as much warranty as possible, and with most of the options I was after (DSG, Tints, Highline, MFSW, Centre Arm rest, etc). Ended up getting on only 7 months old, with under 4k on the clock, for £18,500.
You'll find a few manuals cheaper then that - its the DSG's that are still highly priced.
