Bye bye little golf :sad:

He will be following the mk5forum craze and buying an i10 :grin:
and as it says projectsssssss a mk1 GTI with a large engine in.

Have you arranged a private sale on her or p/x? If private any chance you would share the info with us. I'm considering chopping Bonnie in for something else ie a Freelander 2 and wondered approx how much she is worth.

I somehow don't think so. He's too big a lad for the i10. Besides, it won't suit his image in Knightsbridge. :grin:
It's an Audi RS3 for him, me thinks. He'll keep it for a year and change it for the newer model.

Steve are you leaving the upgrade bluetooth in ?
if you are removing it, 1st dibs on it :wink: as mine dosn't work with i phone 4 :sad:
-
^^^ sorry Neil the Bluetooth is staying put as part of the sale.
Amanda, it's being sold to a VW dealer, every non VW dealer wouldn't offer anything above the mileage adjust trade price, which was £17k :shocked:

The King is 'dead', long live the King. A sad day.

17K for a fully loaded GTI :shocked: :shocked:

Neil
I bought my Bluetooth unit (5NO035 730 D) from a guy on ebay.de called ukmegaseller for £85 + postage and took one week to deliver if that's any help?
Adrian
-
Ummm what a tease I'm itching to find out what you getting next. I'm with Asker I have a feeling Steve's going down the Audi S3 route (why is a car I quite fancy).
Amanda maybe ditching the golf as well. Sad times.
-
RS3? megabucks but looks sooooo much fun! :evil:
-
It's not an Audi so you can rule out the S3 or RS3 :wink:
-
Sorry to see you leave the fold Mr P :smiley:

Range rover Evoque? I'm a bit obsessed with them atm!

a couple of weeks of snow and there all panic buying 4x4s :grin:

I feel it's defiantly something in the vw stable, as Steve hasn't as yet sold his vcds capability. :nerd:
Two projects have been suggested by Steve on t'other forum

He is a secretive so-and -so.
He'll prise himself into a Tata Nano hopefully. :evil:

A Freelander are you joking. :shocked:As long as it comes with good breakdown cover and you don't mind having it in the garage regular I suppose you will be happy :wink:. You certainly wont driving it after a GTI mate
-
Amanda:
The Freeklander 2 is just a vile looking car completely devoid of style. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke. Now, the Evoque is another matter and worth considering.
Apart from the Golf, the whole VW range of cars is as dull as ditch water.

Sad but true.
-
I think most things in the VW stable look dull to be honest (Seat, Skoda and especially Audi). Audis all look the same - some are just bigger than others (with the obvious exceptions of the TT and the R8). Even the 4x4s are just bigger versions of the same car.
I'm not saying they're not good, just dull to look at.
-
The VW Golf Mk6 GTI 5 door is stylish, practical, fast, roomy, quiet, fun, desirable. No amount of accolades can do it justice IMO. It is an icon.
I chose it from a price range of cars between £20k to £60k. There is still nothing I would want to replace it with. Nothing comes close, even remotely.
And that is that. :smug:
-

Back to standard... what have you done with all the bits?!

If my GTI is worth £17k or less there's no way I shall be parting with her, but if I did/do I will let you know first Buck.

If i'm not mistaken, i think the only reason mr P offer is quite conservative is the mileage.

Remember mine's an July 09 with 38k miles so they try to knock off nearly £3k for the mileage :shocked:
It was only the long options list on mine that allowed me to get a much better price, but it took some work.

Most bits are already sold, just the brakes and the Milltek that are left :smiley:

Mr P has now got his money's worth from this thread. We've shown great support and interest. So it's time he spills the beans as any gentleman would and should. Enough is enough! :tongue:

Not likely this will be kept close to his chest until the big reveal. I think I'll keep an eye out on his mk5 website to to get some early clues/announcements.
If you leave the VW world Steve I'd like to say thanks again for the the advice and assistance you've given me.

I am not leaving the VW world, until the deals are signed on the replacement cars (I.e one for fun and one for a daily driver) I wont be revealing anything. :smiley:

You've just bought the Diesel Tiguan R-line. So are you keeping that and getting two additional cars or selling that and getting two new cars? Three cars would seem very greedy and overkill.
Enjoy your secret. I am sure the great reveal will cause excitement in most quarters. :grin:
-
The Tiguan is Mrs P's car that I had been driving too much according She who must be obeyed :laugh: :laugh:
The two cars will be mine, one will be using the devils dirty fuel to bring down my £1k a month fuel bill :sick:

Correction: Your count 3, Mrs P's count 1. Talk about greed.
As your place of work is outside the Congestion Zone, you will probably get a GTD or a Bluemotion if you are feeling really stingy. :embarassed:
The other one could be an ED35 or a 'rocco R.
You'll be spending lots of time washing cars. :evil:
Good exercise, but what a waste of your valuable time. :rolleyes:
Me: never wash cars. Filthy job. :sick:

Well today the Mk6 went and I picked up the first of two cars.
Introducing the new daily driver: -
(http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk207/Stevep_010/file-26.jpg)
2.0TDI 140 Sport DSG, with virtually no extras but very low miles ready for me to stick 40k on it in the next 12 months :rolleye:
While I will miss the Mk6 I won't miss my fuel bills, on the way to the garage today the Mk6 got 31.2MPG on a mixed run, the same journey back in the Jetta was 49.8MPG, estimate it will save me at least £300 a month :smug:
First mod already completed, the install of an RNS-510 LED :smiley:
New project car should be sorted by the end of May :evil:
-
:shocked:
You really know how to keep a secret. :grin:
It makes sense to have an economical car.
Care to race me now? :evil: :grin:
Congratulations. :smiley:

Oh yes it sure will hit the spot :evil: :evil:

Excellent Steve, just the Xenon retrofit and dropped about 2" and it will look perfect :laugh:
You do about the same miles in four months as I do in a year :laugh:

Oh yes it sure will hit the spot :evil: :evil:
Sweet! I know it's a bit sad but i'm excited for ya! :smiley:
-
My Dad runs a Jetta TDI. They make excellent mile munchers.
A mate of mine runs a grey one like yours Steve, he goes all over the country in it and it certainly has excellent fuel economy. The 140 DSG goes well too, but I'm sure yours will soon be knocking out in excess of 140 anyway..... :smiley:

Makes sense and if i was doing your miles i would be running a TDI too.
Suprised there was that much difference in the miles though on average but i guess some of thats motorway were the TDI claws it back. As when i do my pitiful 32 mile round trip commute in the TDI170 there only ~10mpg difference in it.
-
Is that in your exeo snoops?

It is, but its now with its original intended family members home now.

I was tempted to buy the new Jetta its just come out, but its made in Mexico so just imagine the waiting list for that ?? Very nice with DSG great buy. :cool:

Don't touch it. Those Mexican VWs are nothing but trouble. They just can't get them made to German standards. If you think German Golfs have problems, those Mexican Golfs are the pits.

I'll assume you probably have your next project 'fun' car already lined up Steve(?), but when I saw this advertised by Andrew at Volkswizard a week or so ago I thought about your 'project car': http://volkswizard.co.uk/carsforsale/lcj37y.htm
Looks to be in amazing condition for the age and has plenty of further potential. Not cheap but I bet nothing on that car was cheap. :drool:

Correction: The 4 door is actually slightly stiffer (and heavier) because of the reinforced center pillar between the doors. :smiley:

Wrong and it's nothing to do with the number of doors as they are not part of the stress bearing shell.
