Thinking about swapping for one, what do you think the chances of getting discount at a main dealer are????

It is one of those 'how long is a bit of string?' scenarios.

You could phone a broker, get a couple of grand off and hope the build slot isn't too far off. This is ideal if you don't have a part ex and can wait a while.

If however you do have a car to chop in you could phone around various dealers who have allocation and see if they will cut a deal with your part ex. They will word it one of three ways: cost to change, discount off the list or give you a figure way over book for yours. It all amouts to the same thing and the only thing you need will be to have a realistic value of your part exchange car in mind with which you can base your deal on.

I had a text from Broadspeed the other day offering me a black GTI from stock with £3k off, okay, it's not an ED35 but it shows there are deals out there.

I had the same test too. Guess soemone dropped out a deal.

I've been thinking hard about the ED35, and will test drive one shortly when my dealer gets one in, but the big thing I don't like about them is the full leather, its just too boring being all black!

Apart from that, the price is also an issue, if it was a mk7 then it might not be as bigger issue, but to swap a 2010 GTi for the same shape model, but with a couple of tweeks and an extra bit of grunt, but a lot more money, I'm not sure.

If they can do a good deal I'd be tempted but it would need to be good.

Broadspeed are advertising them at £25,252 which would be more realisitic a price to pay IMO.

I will probably get a quote from them, and take it too dealer to match, if they can then I'd have one, otherwise I will walk away, save extra cash for a mk7 GTi or new S3.

On a side note I'm also tempted with how the new Astra VXR is shaping up, looks a lot more grown up this time round.

Off topic, and I apologise, but I've not seen pics of the new VXR yet. I can get big discounts off Vauxhalls from work so may well look that way next time myself.

Almost back on topic: The leather interior looks a lot better when you add some little touches like Gulfstream seat lever inserts. It's just a shame the stitching isn't a contrasting colour to give it a bit of visual oomph.
