Only one I have seen is 6 hours away, not tried the dsg but think I would prefer manual

Worth remembering that at that age and mileage the cam belt will be due if it has not already been replaced.

im shocked. ur right! i thought there was plenty about especially for the money u want to spend, maybe people are waiting a bit longer so they can get the new plate.

DSG's cool and everything but very much a novelty. im still not sure if i would have prefered a manual. dsg is very good though. would let u test mine but u live in aldershot, u'll probably stab me :P

Shame I'm not selling for a while. Mines just ticked over 80k and is an 05 GTI in Black.

I just did a search from SE25 and this car is only 20 miles away (cant be that far from you?).

Its £500 over you budget but you might be able to knock him down / find a bit more.

Been for sale for a while but only idiots offering £3500 to £4000. Dealers wanting to know my "least price".
