I can hardly contain myself...
« on: 30 March 2004, 10:14 »
Today i am enormously excited as i have just bought a very nice VR6 Highline. ;D ;D ;D

96P, Purple, heated leather, etc, etc, FVWSH, 72K miles, 1 owner (traded in for a Golf PD TDI 150 jib job - bloke had to do more miles)  Immaculate condition.

I bought it at Sidlow VW in Horsham, west sussex.  I saw it a week ago on the forecourt for ?6,500.  Went past on saturday it was ?4,999!  I went in to ask about it, the area manager had been in and said it's too old for the forecourt, get rid of it asap so they knocked it right down.  Still get all the stuff like MOT, 1 year vw warranty, oil service, valet, inspection etc.

All i have to do now is sell the GTi to raise the money.

i certainly will!  Cheers

It was the first one i had driven.  It is significantly quicker than my 16v and so, so smooth.  

I can't wait to pick it up.

i think so.  Infact it's too much when you consider the nasty walnut gear knob! :-\  That's coming straight off.

Have you got a hamster?  I'd gladly donate it, although it is almost certainly walnut coloured plastic!

There's enough sh!t rude boy cars on the streets of west sussex.  It's up to people like us to maintain a standard.
