It's only a Golf. Tell them to get stuffed and go buy something else.
Only when loads of people do this will the price of VWs come down - that's my logic anyway!!!!
I like your logic Andy. I'd work along the same lines myself. The trouble is, I think, that there are too many people with more money than sense. Another thing along the same lines is that people who have a bit of wedge are downsizing from bigger cars and thus are buying the more high end hatchbacks. This in turn means that, within reason, the German car makers can charge more or less what they please, with the promise of an exclusive product.
I'd like to say that if I was in the position of buying a new car right now I'd give the Golf a miss. Unfortunately everything else in the same size and price bracket holds absolutely no appeal to me (apart from a Leon maybe) so I'd still end up visiting a VW showroom. Buggered if I'd wait for a new one though with the amount of very low mileage used ones about.
