How much was the s3 you looked at Simon? and what was the spec?
I've had both. both brand new, both dsg, both white, both on a 10 plate.
I could give you my honest opinion if needed.

No, but a tad pricey for me :sad:. Looks like a fantastic car. . . .

Wowzers! 27k - thats a lot of money! I'd be more inclined to go for one thats a little older and see if you can get the price closer to 20k.

If your not into that, I would ring dealers all over the country and see whats deals/discounts you can get. They all deliver for free or you can collect easy enough.

I agree £27k is probably too much.  I paid £23k at end of Aug for spec below (basically same as the one you saw but with camera instead of nav) - it was an early one, May 09 but with only 10500 miles on the clock.

VW West London tend to be a bit pricey. Try a bit of bargaining.

Ouch! Price is v high IMHO.

I paid £22,700 for a 10 plate 5dr, 3800 miles, leather but no dsg or nav. So I'd say that's worth about £24k
