Why not do what I did? I considered an import but when I read about the sitting around and rust issues I decided to give it a miss.

In Sept I bought a 4k miles, 7 month old Gti with a few options from a main dealer for £15k! OK, very slightly used, but cheaper and with a longer warranty.

Worth an investigation. :)

i bought a zafira from that motorpoint afew year ago and after 2 weeks it just used to cut out while doing 70 up the motorway, they had it back and 'fixed' the problem 2 times, then the third time we took it back and got all our money back

bought another car from that carcraft place too, not on there finance tho. that had soo many faults too, rear right suspension had snapped off after afew days. the right rear brake pad was not clipped on, the garage i took it too said i was lucky i hadnt had to brake hard as it would of spun out or summut like that

got rid of that then got the golf from a vw dealer

learnt my lesson from those type of places, never again

And you prolly won't get a spare wheel, just a can of gunk. If you're ever trading in take yours out and sell on the bay.... Remembering to replace with a can of tyre weld ;-)

Is that for a brand new GTI MK5??
Thats not too bad TBH. UK Spec cars dont all have leather seats - thats an optional upgrade I believe - so dont assume its an import just because it has cloth seats!
Im sure someone will pop along shortly and inform us of how to tell if its an import or not......

Ive not checked prices of new GTI's for a while since Im after a ED30, but they could well have dropped due to the credit crunch etc.....

Standard GTi's from 2008 all have leather as standard.

Yes leather is standard from 2008 if the GTI is UK spec.

GTI's sold at Motorpoint is NOT UK spec.

I bought a new GTI from Motorpoint in Nov 08 for £16.3k (with cruise as an extra)

OK you don't get spare, dual zone climate, leather typically but what you do get is a GTI at a great price.

I love my new GTI - only gripe i had is the user handbook was not supplied but they did pay for a new one from my local stealer however i have no proof that it was PDI'd.
