Wow dropping some serious dollar on a second hand car without a test drive.... bold...some might say.

Indeed. Main dealer though with a 2 year warranty, and it's a one owner car.

I did the same on the A1 SLine 185BHP Black Edition that bought for wife from Ipswich Audi which is 100 + miles drive but extremely low mileage, one owner and 2 years warranty and at a negotiated cash price that was below what was seeing across all the buying options.

A test drive would not tell me too much as had driven an A1 SLine previously and being a main dealer with warranty it did not see a risk at all.

Would definitely test drive anything purchase outside of main dealer though.

RS3 has never been an option for me and as love the TCR so much thats a likely keeper but the RS3 is still scratch want to itch though - looking forward to seeing yours

Fit your own bucket seats to a TCR?

VW didn't make those, someone else did. I am sure someone else more knowledgable than me will be along to tell you exactly who made them.

Might even be able to buy them as VW spares if you are insistant on having OEM part numbers on everything.

As I said earlier, its mental to spunk 30k on a 3 year old car thats only 30k because it has some collectors value and then use it as a daily driver.

I could be wrong, but all of the "special editions" are run out model parts bin specials. Everyone does it to try and make a few new sales to bridge the gap to the next new model most customers are waiting for.

The buckets on the CSS are made by Recaro. I posted about this a while back in response to seeing that a fellow owner had his stolen. He quoted a replacement cost of £12k or thereabouts. Sceptical, I rang my dealer up and parts confirmed that they'd charge me just over £12k plus a day or two on top of that in labour to assemble them. Apparently it's a major headache for him as he has to order every single component part and then build the seat from scratch.

To put it into perspective, Porsche charge £6,800 for a set of 918 style carbon fibre buckets.

Based on the cost of the seats, you're a getting good value for the other £18k if you're shopping at the £30k price point!

you csn just buy recaro CS , not identical but very simlar to the oem clubsport seat , get the rears trimmed to match , that way you get rid of the horrible tcr trim too

Not everyone dislikes the TCR trim. I suppose you don't like the standard GTi trim either?

I like both the TCR trim and The standard GTI tartan trim. I don’t particularly like VW’s modern day interpretation of the tartan in the mk8 GTI though, but that’s one for discussion over on the mk8 forum board .

when i was on the look out for a CS, did pause and have a look at the photo's of the new TCR coming out, but i felt the interior wasnt to my liking so went for the CS. Once seeing it in the flesh, changed my mind, it actually does look nice.
