Just back from VW where I went in to book in the first service on my now 12 month old GTI. (It's for sale for £18K which is a bargain - PM me if you're interested). Anyway after adding the £260 service, £65 brake fluid change, £205 tax disc, £200 or so rear lower bumper bit (I hit a towbar - damn RangeRovers) and cost for 2 new front tyres and brake pads, I decided to mention whether I could get a nice new ED30 instead.
Low and behold they had a lovely diamond black 3 door in stock !! Imagine my wry smile.....
Only £70 a month more Sir.......not a penny down, the money's in your old car Sir....
Think of all the money you'll save on sevicing, tyres, tax etc Sir.....
Not to mention the extra warranty and better residuals.....
Not sure? How about if we discount the car by £1500 and throw in a free first service plus transfer your number plate?
Anyway - It arrives in 2 weeks !! So £70 a month worse off but I saved a least a grand up front !!
So please add me to the "yup the 30BHP and red stitching on the wheel is worth £6K" brigade !!
Can't wait !!
