Shall put my order in now for the mk7 me thinks  :rolleyes:

Good thinking, it'll give you time to arrange a second mortgage the way VW prices are going!

I quite like the idea of the Tig BTW, keep it for a bit and see what takes your fancy in a year or so's time  :smiley:

Indeed thats my thinking, I will get a Mk7 if the price is right ?? The dealers have a brand new mk6 gti in and have had it for a couple of weeks now also Manuel with plastic leather 30k  :grin:
Frigging joke prices. My local dealer has a used one in at £30k!!! Too many company car drivers buying GTIs now who don't care what they pay meaning VW know they can restrict production and charge what they like - until people can't afford used ones in a few years time and dealers struggle to shift them when they go out of fashion again.

Could you have not got the GTI instead of a Pigvan?
Oh well, too late now.
But you can stay on the forum and tell us how your frig handles. :grin: :evil: :kiss:
Oh, go and buy a step ladder when you need to wash the roof. :grin:

This is why my mates idea of company cars should be enforced by the goverment. You get a sign written van or if you can proove you need to carry people for your job for example estate agents a sign written car or you get nothing. Its also a normal car/van too nothing exotic or prestige.

Amen to that.  :smiley:

Also it'd stop so many reps driving like tw4ts when there's a company name and phone number on their vehicle.......

What a crazy idea.  :shocked:
Some folk are forced in to taking company cars which aren't perks but a necessity. Why should they have to take what they are given or have a sign written car?!?
In my last job I was forced to take a leased car which my employer (NHS) paid for half of. I fail to see why enforcing a car or sign written car on someone would help anyone?

In your case you'd have only had to have one side of the car sign written!  :laugh:
Company cars aren't a necessity unless you're a taxi driver (or similar) and I will from now on label company car drivers as the sole reason why bloody cars have got so expensive, if you're a private buyer and on anything but silly wages you walk if you don't get value for money, company car drivers just pay a bit of extra tax and hammer the crap out of the car making the next owner drive around in a lump of self funded scratched, dented, full of fag ash junk. The only way you'll change my mind is by bribing me.  :laugh:

I'll get back to the Tiguan buy if you don't mind.

Steve: One thing in its favour is that it won't be stolen.  :evil:
