Nice tidy looking car.

Take the RAC or AA with ya and you cant go wrong. Still some warranty left so if it goes wrong it will be fixed for free.

*Although interestingly the phone number quoted on the ad does not match the location, not that it should worry you but I'd ask why that's the case he might be working away from home.

bloody hell i hope mine is worth 18k when its 2 years old


looks a good spec, pretty much same as mine. remap is a good feature and shouldn't put you off.

How old is your dad ? Mapped cars to me equals thrashed and you won't be thrashing your's will you

I am aiming to get the car for a reduced price  

Says it has about 4months tax, good tyres, spare key, No faults, no major scratches. Couple of small stone chips. No kerbing or other issues. But from the sounds of things 1 service which is Maintanence and air con service carried out by VW ridgeway Newbury.

I guess at 18,000 miles 1 service is correct ?

Its probelry on long life service , so 1 service is correct The best way to tell if its any good test drive for a good 20mins at least.
