I like to do one of these threads once in a while just to get everyone's blood pressure boiling over:
I've just run a CAP valuation on my R and it comes out at £25300 top book.
I've just run an Orangewheels quote on a GTD and it comes in at slightly less than the valuation on the R for a car with met paint and park pack.
So in theory I could pick up the phone and find a dealer with an 'in stock' GTD in a similar spec (silver with park pack) and do a potentially free swap.
Why? A GTD is the only configuration of Golf I've not owned and it'd do me as a project for a while.
I like the idea of a mapped/boxed GTD as it would suit the roads I drive on and also I like the idea of filling the tank every 500 miles not every 280.
The performance would be much the same for me. Give me high torque at low rpm's over high power at higher rpm's any day.
I prefer the GTD looks (just).
I really should post this on the R Forum but I don't think the A&E departments would cope with the influx...
