Dealer deals on new ??
« on: 14 June 2009, 13:02 »
Regret selling my r32 and GTI


After a year of 320d motoring I am looking for another mk5 (new or very near new and DSG)

Anyone know of any dealers with deals on at the moment??

Which is better Pirelli or E30 ??

I doubt you will find many new ones left as the mk6 is now in showrooms.

The only place I see with new ones is www.motorpoint.co.uk
Even so, they are imports and could have been built more than a year ago!!

Unfortunately, its not a good time to buy - the MK5 is holding its value very well at the moment...maybe give it 6mths for the MK6 to become more familiar and you may then find a good deal....

Difference is Pirelli has a tyretread patterned seat upholstery, some Pirelli alloys and a Pirelli badge. Otherwise identical. Pirellis are rarer than ED30s.

This may be controversial to some, but these forums are about opinions I guess....so heres mine...In my opinion Pirelli seats look like Wile E. Coyote  after a run in with roadrunner and the Acme truck...and the yellow stitching also leaves a lot to be desired. Ed30 seems to have more pedigree attached, romance...etc whereas I am not convinced that the pirelli was anything other than a marketers idea to allow VW to reach an economical production run beyond the stated target of,..what was it...lol 1500? :rolleyes:

Though to be fair I have only seen 2 in the flesh. So yes they are rare and maybe I would warm to them, however these cosmetic things are only skin deep therein lies a great car...Ed30 for me.

Let the fun begin........Red Gti, full colour coding, DSG, Xenons, Winter pack, Lux pack, Highline, Sat Nav, Sunroof, Leather, Milltek, ABT rear valance, Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics....pescaras :-)
