What a 'mare.
I fully understand now why you want shot of it.
I hope you get your GTI and become a regular member on this forum. It is badly in need of eloquent new blood.
Just one bit of advice: try and source a GTI with ACC. It's amazing and really makes a significant difference. Don't be too hung up on the leather either. The Jacara cloth is quite eye catching and very comfortable.

Quite agree, my jacara cloth looks as good as the day I got the car, no nobbly bits and stunning in the interior of the cabin as it lightens the area a bit but still manages to look extremely classy.

Just thinking out of the box, just been onto we buy any car and a few other establishments of the kind....a bid of £20,460 after fees ! Just shows how low the VW dealer was. I know how these operations work, but they can't exactly knock it down in price on inspection as the car is mint.

Game back on....now for the right car !

Struggling to find a GTI.

I've rung a couple of dealers about possible cars and I've had one guy that will bend over backwards to sell me a car and sounds like he has everything but GTIs, another 2 dealers that didn't even call back and finally the final dealer who wanted near list price for his 3,000 mile demo and will not even look at the pricing.

Disappointing as had the Kuga juiced up ready to travel the length of the country to get one.   :sad:

Thanks Neil.

I might look at that as its got a reasonable spec. Ideally I would like a car thats a bit younger, but its not bad money.

Wish I had kept them R32 alloys now .....!

Have you looked at the classified section on here BrigGTI is selling a 10 plate black car and has not placed a sold notice on his ad yet, may be an idea to PM him.

Hopefully....there's a deal to be had on my Kuga, as one of the internet buyers has offered good money ....far more than any VW garage offered. So on that basis, the hunt is on.

I've been tipped off by a friend over the weekend that he was passing a VW dealership that has just taken a 60 plate into stock. Its a steel grey, 5 door manual with Leather  :tongue:, front and rear parking, bluetooth, winter pack, luxury pack and DVD Nav. The only thing it hasn't got is Xenons and has only got 17" Monzas.

Its up at just over £20k, so seems a decent price, so would just need to locate a set of shadows. Whats peoples thoughts, depending on condition/owners/history etc ?

That sounds very cheap especially for a VW dealer.  A quick look on Autotrader and there's nothing with that kind of spec, sat-nav, leather etc anywhere near that money!!!

I wouldn't worry about the wheels mate, get some nice BBS with the money you'd save getting this one!
