In many years time these will be the mythical '10 plate mk5's - just as K plate mk2's are all nerdy

^^^ that made me chuckle!

Brought back memories of mythical 'L' reg Nova in Fast Car in about 1998. I'm sure it was lime green.
Ah, to be a teenager again.
My was £19,150 which I think for a 'New' car is a good price.
^^^ I agree and if it's being serviced and an (almost) a full warranty being offered, why not..?
You might get bit bum-r@ped in depreciation, though. It'll be harder to shift compared to a MKVI of similar vintage in a couple of years.
