finally in position to buy my new golf GTi, have been looking around at various places, the best so far is:
red 3door
18" wheels
centre console
highline computer
leather seats
all for £21889 from Sainsbury car buying scheme, just wondering what you guys though of this and if anyone on here has bought cars from them?

I would try here: http://www.drivethedeal.com (http://www.drivethedeal.com) If I selected the right options when I tried it, it comes out slightly cheaper.
Also try:
https://www.broadspeed.com/
http://www.carselect.co.uk/home.aspx
I can't say how good any of these sites are in supplying the cars but carselect were very helpful on the phone. I got the cheapest quote from them, took it to a local dealer and they got to within £100 of it so I bought from them. Hope this helps.

Do you get Nectar points with that :smiley:
Sounds a good price, does it include a 6 disc autochanger, if it does, that's £900 cheaper than I paid for mine.

I've used carselect twice now and they are excellent. I have also ordered an Ed 30 from a VW dealer, which was as a result of a Broadspeed enquiry. Both are very competitive on price in my opinion. I would use Carselect again, and I'll let you know in September about Broadspeed :-)

no, it has not got a cd auto changer, i am right up to my budget, thinking of dropping leather seats and using spare money for other options.....really not sure what to do!!.......help!! :undecided:

don't forget the xenons

don't forget the xenons
don't bother - most of the time you wont have your lights on,
even when you have you'll find that there is generally street lighting and you can still see.
very low payback/enjoyment factor from something you mainly wont use - IMHO of course
-
I would say Xenon's are a must... drop the leather to get them :smiley: They look much better and of course they are simply superb on dark country lanes.... needed if you like to exploit empty country lanes as a driving challenge :evil:
-
18" Monzas and Xenons a must. DVD Sat Nav also desirable but there are some very good aftermarket units available. I also like the MFSW, Winter Pack and pearlescent black paint :wink:
If you are in a position to buy new, it makes sense to chose the spec you want from the outset - don't settle for a compromise as you will probably regret it later.
