Good Deal ?
« on: 01 April 2007, 01:06 »
Hi Guys

First post and all, currently driving a Leon Cupra 20VT, been looking at making the swap over to the Golf Gti, i have found / been offered by an independent dealer a 06, with 6k on the clock ,18" Monza Alloys, full leather, cruise control, FSH, for 17.5k OTR and giving me the full px ex value according to glasses guide for my Leon, so to me looks like a good deal ? Anyone think i could do better by looking round some more, i really dont want to sell my leon private can be bothered with the hassle, and plus the p/ex and private prices are pretty close, and from what ive seen on autotrader etc thats seems like a good price for the golf especially compared to Volkswagen stealers?

Any thoughts

TIA

Thanks for the reply, yeah thats the best im gonna get on the haggle front, and like i say compared to other GTi's on autotrader, volkswagen used car site, its seems like a really good deal, and hence hard to press him any further as he knows it as well lol. Just always that feeling when buying a car, could i get it slighlty cheaper anywhere else.

I enjoyed the test drive, different sensation the my leon, the leon has more of a torque kick to it i think, the golf it alot more free and quick revving, and the handling of the golf is in a different league tbh, good fun.

Is it a UK dealer car, a uk spec car or a parallel import model?

In that case it is a very good deal.

I'd just try and squeeze him for a full tank of fuel and ensure he pays for taxing if it needs it.

He can only say no :wink:
