Title: Day of delivery.....now waiting for keyring to never arrive : )
Post by: evo1986 on 27 September 2012, 21:38
It appears I may well be joining the GTI club soon.......a to good to miss employee scheme makes it extremely tempting to have one for 6 or 12 months. Question is what colour. Have decided edition 35, 5 door and probably dsg.

So a proper GTI this time not a gtd dressed up like one ; )

The staff scheme is a good one. One of the lads at hunters (inchcape) was telling me about it. I used to do them all of the time through IFS.

Are these schemes as good as they used to be Lee? Back in the 90's I used to sell Fiats. I got my Dad a Brava on a scheme like this. The PCP deposit was something like £2k deposit followed by 12 monthlys of £14 (fourteen). At the end of the year he still had £2k equity in the car. I know it was a sh1t car, but motoring doesn't get much cheaper.

Basically if I don't have the company car anymore the edition 35 with no deposit is going to cost me around £100 a month. Can get a new one every 6 months or 12 months which ever I decide from the start.

Whats causing the condensation Lee, fished out a river or something?  :laugh:

Do most dealers have hand over bays? When I got my brand new Golf it was just sitting in the car park  :cry: Its a nice touch that.
Title: Re: Joining the GTI club
Post by: evo1986 on 13 October 2012, 21:31
Don't know just where cleaners I guess have left moisture in it. Should be fine now been in there warm and cosy for two days. All the cars on the pitch this time of year are the same.

Wish I had the time at work to do it myself but don't and trust the main guy we have to do it.

It will be filthy within 10seconds of leaving.

No sign of keyring! Took it out on Thursday for a spin to see how the ride was on the 18's vs the 19's and it  sealed the deal. Also to see how bad on fuel it was...... But a full tank will last me a month probably.

Any decent salesman would of taken it off : ) the fact I handed it over to myself means I missed out a few things.....I was taking to much effort to stick the plates on straight. Then took it out for a gentle run, how I have lived with a car with out xenons I will never know they not only make driving in the dark a piss take but they look so epic.

He's good, enjoying his retirement in Wickes. He pops in every so often to buy screen wash, wipers e.t.c. Glad you have joined the mk6 clan again?

Have to say I agree with the xenon's Lee, if I could tick only one option it would be the xenon's.

Lots of night driving even in the summer I can drive 4 hours non-stop to scotland and get out the car with no back ache or eye strain, marvelous stuff!
