Not going to say that's an amazing deal, but equally it's not too bad. Probably about as good as you're likely to get in the current climate.

Yeah I agree. Good for current times. Over £400pm for a gti still blows my mind.

What blows my mind, is that metallic paint, specced by nearly everyone is an extra £625. Yet a heated steering wheel, which in a quarter of a century of driving i've never really missed, is standard.

SEAT have it right. Every colour costs an extra £0  :whistle:

It’s odd for sure. There’s no way I’d even think about adding a heated steering wheel. Think it’s a bizarre thing to have on car anyway.

Had them on hire cars, novelty that wears off. I usually just point the blowers at my hands if they’re cold. Money in the bank  :grin:

Presumably the 3 year PCH deal? If it's a factory order does he have a lead time?

Yeah 3 years. He’s been told 14 weeks until delivery as they factor in the Christmas factory shut down.
