Its all about supply and demand, if there's nothing else out there then what choice do you have?

I paid a lot for my used GTI but there was nothing else cheaper than it with the spec it had.

yeah i know the feeling , its there and your tempted by the fact there is no wait (GTD will be months!)

but if you have the cash and not too bothered about the price then SOLD, but you should try and shave some bucks off it

if its new then you should also get bluetooth as std!

From the VW new car site. Based on the spec that you told use it had

its got heated leather seats, sun roof, touch screen radio.

Does it have Sat Nav, upgraded audio, parking sensors/camara 18" wheels? Those sort of extras would push it up to the £32k mark.

What sort of deal you'll get depends on how you want to pay. Go in with no px and a debit card and start the bidding at £26,000. You may get a better sticker price if they sell you finance, but you'll pay more back over all.

A GTD with only sunroof and DSG over the standard spec wouldn't be as much as 32k new, so the one you're thinking of buying must have some other goodies such as sat nav, xenons.

Just be aware that if it is fully loaded, VW dealers will be charging top dollar, and you'll suffer heavy depreciation when the time comes to sell. Better to find a lower spec one, as most options such as sat nav, reversing camera, bluetooth etc. can be retro-fitted, and you can recoup some of the retro-fit costs by installing the original items back in the car before you sell it, and flogging the upgrade items on e-bay.

However, if you've set your heart on this particular car, negotiate hard! Good luck!

True, most options can be retro fitted cheaper, but finding another with a sunroof would be a tough job.

I paid 27k from a dealer for my 59 plate dealer a couple of years ago. The car was X-Demo and came with 7k on the clock but was pretty much fully loaded apart from the ACC. I priced it up at the time and the car new came in around 32k.
