Finally bought one!
« on: 18 April 2016, 16:39 »
Went to look at a 64 plate 3dr carbon grey gtd last week. Was spot on to drive etc. Didn't do a deal there and then but came away to think about it. As my previous topic the other day I wasn't sure what the exact spec it had as the independent garage didn't know. They only listed it as having reverse camera, they must have thought the rest was standard.  After a quick phone call to a Volkswagen dealer he confirmed it had the following extras;
Nav Pro 8", Dynamic Chassis, Sport and sound pack, Winter pack and reverse camera. That will more than do for me. I got on the phone to the garage straight away to confirm I was having it. Anyway, I pick it up Thursday morning. They are just going to touch up a couple of little scratches I found on it. Can't wait to be part of the gang and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to ask and hopefully be able to contribute myself in time. I will put some pics up at the weekend probably. Thanks guys, Lloydy.

Sounds like a nice car with a good spec, look forward to seeing some pics.

Great colour as well, but then I would say that as I've just got my carbon grey GTD on the 9th of April

Nice one Lloyd.

You don't see many 3 door GTD's about so more likely to have been a private buyer originally which would explain the very good spec.
