All of the Pirellis I've seen on the VW webby are around the £22k mark. Mind you they have full spec, however in a few years time I doubt they'd allow much for the RNS and other gadgets in your part ex price. Not seen any around the £20k mark for a good few weeks now (admittedly I haven't looked that hard) and every time I go into my local stealer they predictably start trying to shove a mk6 down my neck. Not that I've got much of a problem with that apart from the ££££££££!  :laugh:

As stated above, Pirelli - partly because of toys, partly because of elitism (as stated, 230 pirellis versus 2300 ED30s), but also because of POWER! (230 in the pirelli against 210 in the MK6).

Pirelli, just because it's got all the toys. the RNS-510 is an awesome piece of kit.
OP said it had satnav - but there's the MFD2 as well as the RNS510. It's likely to be the former, given the cost of the RNS.


The rear look like a small Toureg... I prefer the rear of the Mk6 to the Mk5. I never liked the black plastic on the rear bumber of the Mk5. Just my opinion though  :wink:
The mk5 'plastic' is body-coloured on the edition 30 and pirelli editions, so you won't have that plastic trim.
