say goodbye to my just a Golf, thanks for the info and help along the way. If anyone is after a set of 17 inch wheels let me know, I'll put them in the classified and Ebay on return from a short Break, all the best Paul
-
Sorry to hear you are selling your pride and joy. Were the 18" you took off me the cause? :shocked:
All the best.
Asker
-
Need the extra doors Asker, no the wheels got me more money as they do set the car off.
Its BMW for me with a host of little extras. I really wanted the 5 door golf but VW wanted another £100 a month and a huge deposit.
-
Missing you already Paul. :cry:
Good luck with the BM though. Is it a 1 series?
-
Always buy a 5 door GTI is the lesson here! :evil:
So spill the beans then on what model BMW have are you going for so we can all talk you out of it. :evil:
-
It'll be a shame to see you go
what design are the 17s - might be looking for some for winter wheels
-
Paul, please don't get a 1 series as it's like a deformed lizard. :shocked:
-
Wheels are Porto the standard GT with good Milage left on all 4 wheels done approx 9000 miles. One wheel has some marks but if they are for the winter....
Don't worry its a 3 series M sport Plus to be exact, here is the specColour payments are going up £40 per month where VW wanted another 100... shame on them

I'm confused. Is it a Diesel or a Petrol. What engine? A 318d or ..................... :rolleyes:
-
318 petrol don't do enough miles to make a saving on a D, don't need a 320 either just ekkps putting the price up for an extra few MPH and a little BHP

The car sounds great with a nice spec. What was the overall cost if you don't mind me asking.
At least your staying within the Third Reich with your car choice! :evil:

Good lord Martin. You cannot say that. The Third Teich finished in May 1945 and it was a terrible part of German history. :shocked:

It was a tonge in cheek comment. I know very well what the Third Reich was all about as I have a keen interest in world war 1&2 history. Terrible times indeed and never to be forgotten.

Its a staff offer refer a friend, don't think its a one for advertising like that just to be on my safe side, anyone I refer needs to be a friend... loose term I know.
R32UK I know you can get more into the GOLF, I did give VW first refusal when I was looking for the extra doors, they offered me a car at £150.00 more a month than the Beamer, loose a little space = save £5,000 in payments,

Tell me more please - feel like kicking my sky box sometimes :grin:

Need to be in a cable area.... check http://shop.virginmedia.com/home.html?buspart=Portal_HP_topnav_1_1 (http://shop.virginmedia.com/home.html?buspart=Portal_HP_topnav_1_1)

I'm with Virgin TV at the moment and I'd vouch for their services. I especially like the VM's 'Catch up TV on Demand'. We're moving house this Friday :smiley: but the only unfortunate thing is its in an area with no cable TV. Therefore we will probably have to go over to Sky reluctantly.
Looking forward to seeing the new motor flc1962. Get some pictures posted. My Dad's got a year old 330D M Sport and there really nice car to drive. My dad and I work together and we don't live a million miles away from each other so the majority of the time we car share from West Sussex to South West London. I get 35 MPG in the GTI and he gets around 43 MPG.

p.s. my Dad tried to emulate me and went and brought a the white 330D M Sport a week after I picked up the GTI up. Even tried to copy me with the alloys and got the diamond cut AC Schnitzer alloys fitted by BMW. Bloody cheek!
-
Will put some pics up, shame about not getting the service, SKY broad band is really crap along with all through the BT line. I get 2 meg from BT :sick: If i lived in the cable area it would be 20meg...
Nice motors, dont do the miles for a soot wagon anymore.... None Turbo here I come

-

Blimey! What sort of deal is that? Period, size of balloon payment etc?
I paid for mine by selling some shares, maybe I should have kept them at £280 a month!
Jim
-
My payments are about £330 a month over 4 years. I put down £10k with the trade of my mk5 and my GTi was £29k from memory. Mine is a straight repayment loan with VW finance.
-
So are you going to trade it or pay the balance and keep it Martin? I always wonder about the lease type plans and whether i'd want to part with the car or not. :undecided:
-
I will keep the car for another 2.5 years until the finance is completely paid off so I own the car. Then I will trade the car in or sell privately and start the whole mad process off again of buying a new car.
I'm hoping there will be a 5 door Audi S1 quattro on the market by then.

I tried would have been happy to stay VW but alas, took ownership of the Beamer today and its rained all day as usual north of the border, got myself some free parking sensors on the front, nice to get another freebie. When it drys out I get some snaps on, wish it would go dark as I want to see what the xenons are like... :laugh:

Congratulations.

Congrat's on the new purchase. Looks really nice. Great car to drive. :smiley:
-
Beautiful mate! Was looking at one yesterday, they need sat nav though imo just to make the dash a bit more interesting. Do they still have the daft mpg needle in the dials? Drove one once and the needle was jumping around like crazy! :laugh:
-
That's a great looking car mate :wink:

Cheers guys
Yer the needle is still there lol, it looks like a old amp needle bouncing around to a disco song from the 70's, I'd like to disable it as you can't help but watch it..
Re Sat Nav I agree it looks a little plain there as the radio is quite low unlike the GOLF with its big unit fitted,
No complaints so far and the Xenon's are brill from what I've seen so far,
Turns a few heads and slows people down :evil: :evil:
