Which car was this? I’m surprised you didn’t get more than that? What was the spec?

It was a DSG with the below options, I could have got a bit more from the other suspects. Part of my decision to trade in was it needed some work doing before it's next service & mot which I was not prepared to do.

Rear View Camera
Dynaudio Excite Soundpack
Keyless Entry
19in Alloy Wheels - Santiago
Rear Tinted Glass
DCC - Dynamic Chassis Control

The dealer would have sorted the issues out for it to be an approved used VW

Aye red isn't for everyone  :whistle:
I fitted Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres but they have replaced the fronts with Pirelli's, there was still plenty of tread but I suppose maybe not enough for the approved used scheme.

Well, traveled from Southampton upto Battersea, drove to Richmond as the trains are running properly, got the train the rest of the way.

Walked around their stock, introduced myself at reception, they contacted the sales manager. It was another 10 minutes before he appeared... he explained that somebody had broken procedure, taken the car to the Bodyshop to have a wheel refurbished without telling anybody, left the car there, and the bodyshop staff had gone home leaving the car locked inside...

I’ll have to go back up, but they’re knocking £500 off as a goodwill gesture!

I believe you, but I don't believe that story from the dealer.

Sounds dubious to me too. At my VW dealer they have a man in a van do the wheel refurbs onsite.
