Thanks but I could not live with a white car, or one with 19" wheels, it has to be Carbon Grey or Black on 18"s.
You're a good judge :wink:

I've found a 64 plate 5dr GTI DSG PP, in Carbon Grey, Discover Pro, leather, keyless, pan roof, rear camera, 23k, FVWSH, 1 owner, sounds perfect, but it's £21,995 at a Main dealer.

Thoughts?

There seems to be plenty of choice around the £21,000 mark

Yeah you can see from the front brakes that it is not a PP model.

Dealer didn't get back to me for 48 hours, said they can't knock £1000 off, no surprises, so Im going elsewhere.

I have, they tried to play, come and drive it and we'll talk game, but I don't have time for that, so I've gone in hard and asked for £1000 off, see what they say.  :laugh:

Are the PP brakes the same as those fitted to the R?

Bit older than I would of liked, and no NAV, but looks tidy for the price

Do you really want a 3 year old car which will likely be out of it's VW warranty? It looks good though but I'd be tempted to look for something newer since the budget is there. Also I'd say you really need to go to look at cars, I wanted a carbon grey DSG and ended up with a red manual - because I viewed, tested and wanted it. Looking online is not the way to buy, in the flesh is best.
