Possibly going to switch and buy a Demo. Thoughts???

Just buy yourself a £500 fiesta with 6 months-12months mot and wait for your new gtd.

I agree with what others have said.
You have a really good deal with the new GTD, stick with it and just buy a cheap car to plug the gap.

So - whats the plan then Phil?

He won't buy an old car. He's 19, he's got his image to think of.

You laugh. Sadly I can't help it.

If you spend all day every day around cars, selling 30 odd grand cars, you have to have one as well. When I first started with Honda, they put in a Jazz one evening. Almost quit . But no, in all seriousness I can't help it. I don't know where I've got it from, but I hate to admit I'm a tiny bit of car snob.

And despite everyone's advice, I've bought a demo. Will be picking it up on the 1st of December when it's 3 months old.

Got a good deal, managed to only pay £50 a month more than the new one, but the GFV is £1.5k less. Come trading in time, I'll have a lot more equity, on at least minimise my neg egg.. The cars works out £34k list new, got it for £26,000, so £8k off list price of that car so I think it's a very good deal, although it is used.

Only had 900 miles on the clock as it's run by a manager who lives local. He could of been bullsh!tting, but he said it's probably only had 5 or 6 test drives, and he drives like an old women (his words). He said the only time he's given it some when he was late for a meeting and he hit 90mph on the motorway. Sounded genuine enough so hopefully not too ragged.

The car is a 63 Plate (registered on September 1st) Golf GTD 5DR DSG in Pure White. Pro Nav, Dynaudio, Keyless, Leather, Winter Pack, Reversing Camera, High Beam Assist, Advance Telephone, Climate Windscreen, and adaptive chassis control.

What made my mind up was my girlfriend surprised me earlier this week and has booked us a Villa in Barcelona first week in December to celebrate my new job. We have to drive as she has vertigo so doesn't like to fly. I thought it would be a good trip to run the car in. Literally pick it up on the 1st, and drive it down the same day!

Well I say I've bought it, it's in the hands of the underwrites. Can't see it going well tbh. You can't just switch the agreement over, so I can't see VWFS wanting a 19 year old to have two PCP's at £700 on their books. Hopefully they will call to find out whats what and they can decline the new car and accept this

Interesting move 
Hope it works out for you mate.
I remember my first new Volkswagen, it was a brand new MK4 Golf R32, I was 23 at the time and insurance was costing £2200pa

Nice spec of the demo car

[Mark V GTD]

Yes its a very nice spec and I hope you will be happy with it Phil :-)

[Phil 117]

I have gone backwards and forwards over doing this for a while. When they offered me that car, I thought I can't refuse. Yeah, I won't use some of that, but it's just a nice place to be. That Pro screen does look the dogs bollocks.
