best place is to keep an eye on the VW classified forums, Look to pay around £250

Buying second hand always seems to be a good option, but if you are in no hurry for one, better off saving up the pennies and buy a new one.

Didn't someone on here by a second hand one and it went pop in a couple of months?

It is a risk, think new some place was selling them for around £500

Personally i would by a second hand one for that and get it refurb to hybrid spec.

yea for the price of a refurb and 2nd hand 1 would prob add up to the same as a new unit, off topic hulm have you found the ride on the coils to get firmer as they settled in more.

also do u mean the classif on this site?

i mean look in classifieds on here, edition38, uk-mkivs etc etc

it has stiffened up a little bit but tbh, im still trying to get the setup right for me though, thinking of getting some better rear shocks as i think there to soft as my car bounces like mad and exhaust rattles on the axle.
