Doesn’t have to be DSG, I wouldn’t surprised if that’s what I ended up with though.

I hear some people prefer the longer geared 6?

If you're upping the budget I'd go with an ED40 with a bit of spec around it, will hold its value much better than the rest. You'd need to join the Facebook owners club though as most private sales happen through it to get one with Dynaudio, Recaros etc.

DSG vs Manual imo depends on your mileage in a year, up to 10k miles go manual, over 10k go DSG. The manual is much more rewarding to drive but the DSG is fiercely great.

Also with the Clubsport you should factor in a radio upgrade to the MIB2.5 from the facelift so bring up the interior quality, I think it's circa £500 for the smaller screen which is the one I'd go for.

Good price for a main dealer, high spec too, not sure I want white though?

High spec, yet relatively high miles?

The colour is a matallic white silver, this doesn't photograph that well to give an accurate representation?  It looks more of a light grey and changes in different light.  Quite a rare colour that they only did for a relatively short time. It is a little "marmite", I personally like it a lot and would choose it over reflex slver, each to their own?

May also be able to chip them down a bit on price if you're willing to walk away from it.

White Silver is a 2018 only colour and imo the best colour, I got so many compliments from random people on the colour and my brother continues to.

6.5k miles a year, not high by any shout. Personally I really like that one, sanitagos were also the more expensive wheel option on the Gti's.

My old White Silver GTD for reference (old number plate I sold before anyone thinks I finally let guard down  :grin:)

Yes, sort of. :)  It can look like a light grey, a friend has an RS4 in a similar colour & it looks great!

On the miles, I wasn't implying it was crazy high, but the car has a great spec and reasonably priced for the miles.....
The last 7.5 you posted had <20k miles from memory...the ad has been removed, maybe it has been sold to appear at a delaership for sale soon?

That’s Oryx White. White Silver has more of bluish tinge to it.

Ahh I'm too used to people saying about high miles  :whistle:

I'd say mileage and price is about right really it's very hard to keep track of the market but I'd view that white silver as good value, goodyears on the front would indicate to me an owner that actually cared about the car as well so less likely driven hard cold.

Needs a set of the eBay polishing cones taken to the rear exhausts with a bit of autosol but that's about it. It has the nicer edgeless mirror as well like the mk8's but was discontinued in the mk7.5's in 2019.

Standard cloth interior is always a nice place to sit and wears better than the leather which came from factory saggy. I'd change the alloys but that's a personal preference and Santiagos are fetching good money now, to let you migrate into either different 19s and reuse the tyres or they would pay for a set of 18s.

I also prefer the smaller radio with the dials as you can use them to prevent smudges on the screen!

I'd 100% go look at that car.

That’s Oryx White. White Silver has more of bluish tinge to it.

The adverts says it's white silver metallic  :smiley:
