Returning to the GTI - Help needed to find one !!

[Darren VDub]

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  , 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!


Jim

Seems too good to be true. Would prefer carbon grey, but at that money seems crazy to pass buy if it is genuine. The 17"s are annoying, but you can't have it all and thinking about it would make great winter wheels potentially!

Now considering the Steel Grey motor up at VW Huddersfield, as at £20k for a 60 plate with leather would really help my loss on the Kuga.

Darren

I pass near the dealer each day. Do you want me to take a look of I can and give you first impressions?

If you do, reply on here and PM so I get it and I'll let you know

That would be great. The ones that I have seen are opposite ends of the country, so a quick once over could save me a massive trek.

Thanks

If I finish work early enough tonight I'll call in

[Jimmymature]

It's on at £20,850 according to the website.  It looks nice, looking at it again at a fraction under £21k without the 18" wheels it's probably priced about right as people will pay a premium for a car with the wheels.

Thanks for your help. I'm considering going up at the weekend.

Struggling to get past the picture of the car in Steel Grey with the 17s. It looks a bit uninviting in its current form, but I know a set of shadows would transform it.....just need to find a set.

What's peoples thought on Steel Grey ? Being a keen detailer, would have preferred the Carbon Grey .

On a seperate note, I thought that as the car had a roof aerial like you see on BMWs, it indicated the car had bluetoooth....apparently this car hasn't got bluetooth, so can someone tell me what the aerial is ?

[Buck]

I noticed the aerial - I think it has it for the Sat Nav

The steel grey isnt as nice as Carbon but to be fair it looked nice when viewing.

One thing to consider is to see if theyd swap the Monzas with a set of vancouvers - they had loads of Golfs with them on - I did this with my GTD - you'd get more seling the Vancouvers on leaving you less to add to get some shadows.


You mentioned detailing - are you on Detailing World ? I am but a different user name.

[Darren VDub]

Yes, I'm on Detailing World as well.....under a different name.

My MKV was black and looked stunning clean, as did my light grey 3 series. However, even though the Kuga looks good in black, with the hassles I've had with it, not really had the desire to spend many hours on it.

So ideally would prefer a GTI in the Carbon or Black.

I will speak to them again tomorrow as they were getting a price on mine and the cost of putting bluetooth in. I just assumed with the aerial and steering wheel controls that was what it was.
