FYI 10k with that spec will easily get you a nice one :)

Also why the 17s? The 18s really set the car apart.

Are you interested in a grey one? :D

I will be selling mine in the next month or so with all the bits you mention. 69k miles just had major service, cambelt and water pump and 4 new tyres (Nov 2010 MOT). Sat Nav, Xenons, Leather etc 17" wheels.

i think leather seats are over rated

either too hot in the summer or too cold in this weather when you first get in

and when heated it eats the mpg
wants a gt tdi

Heated leather seats are the best thing since sliced bread! Will always spec it in every car I buy :)

i got a 55 reg gti with 65k on the clock black 3-door with xenons, winter pack, 6-cd changer, rear parking sensors and 18" rims, cambelt and service and years warranty for 11k and thats in the North East where choice is limited and prices seem to be higher I find so you should get something at that price i reckon!!
