Where are all the black cars?
« on: 10 July 2009, 00:47 »
Can't seem to find any decent pics of a black golf gti mk6 anywhere.  Google is full of white ones, owners seem to go for Red, perhaps a black mk6 will become a collector's item!

So, anyone out there with a black mk6?  Can you post up some nice pics please?  Ta!

I'm beginning to think I'm the only one in the world with a Blue Graphite on order.  (There was one avaliable ready-built though, but without the extras I wanted.)

note that this spec is v similar to one i want albeit this is a DSG with leather.  but even as a 2nd hand model, it's 4 grand more than what i've been quoted new!!

If you look at the dash, I think it has pretty much all of the boys' toys.  And you could probably haggle them down just as you can on a new car.

It's still a lot though.

There's a black 3 door in the showroom at Exeter VW. I was having a look over it the other day whilst the sales chappie was doing his disappear into the backroom and pretend to thrash out a good deal routine. They have a black GTD in there too with an expensive looking spec.
I don't think I can get a photo of it either as it's in a bit of an awkward position behind two desks.
