Well, its onl 4 days now till I can get my insurance sorted so Im off to Maidstone after work to go and look at this:



Its in the 3 door (which Id rather have over the 5 door) done 2k less miles and cost £1000 less than the one in Croydon. This may well be the one :)

What we think of price etc?

That is a stunning GTi. Awesome colour too.

I would grab that one or at least take a good look on AutoTrader  :nerd:

I notice your not looking at DSG models, as a former London resident I'd definitely tell you to consider one. It does make life so much easier in those traffic jams and stop-start traffic.

Yeah, I guess in London it would be beneficial.

Tollbar strikes again - what is with these guys are they out hunting used GTI's!

Not seen many GTI's spec'd with sunroof - lovin the colour, second to my John Major Steel Grey  :smiley:

AlanD - That one at "Beadles About" VW doesn't have Monza II's so see what they can do - you gotta have the Monza II :cool:  other downside is no DSG  :sad:

....I've got a sunroof - I'm really glad I did at this time of year.

DSG is a benefit in any traffic crawl or urban environment, not just for London or Brighton etc.
