Hi there TonyH,  and welcome.

I'd look at getting a price from an internet based site/ discounted broker, and take it in to your local dealership to see if they could match it or at least get close. I personally wouldn't buy an import but some people do with no issues, and only slightly lower resale value. I'd check the warrenty as some imports have been sat around for a long time waiting to be sold. if I can find the thread I'll post it here.

I wouldn't wait for the MK6 GTI, I dont believe its out this year and possibly late next year according to my VW dealership. It didn't stop me nabbing some of the available .co.uk Mk6 domain names though!!

Its worth a try, they want to sell cars after all. You have to be polite but firm. IMO don't let them bully you into having a treatment like Lifeshine/Supaguard/Diamondbrite as I dont believe they are worth the £300+, you can get a far better finish using a lot less expensive detailing products.

Using a dealer at least you'd have contact in your local area, and a place to get the car serviced and any extra work you need doing. Post the name of your local dealership on here and I'm sure someone will give you some feedback on their service 

Whatever you order, make sure you get the Highline computer, well worth the £50 premium.

thanks again- local dealer is VW Twickenham . They can do a deal @ £20k . Am pushing for £19,750 cos i'm a pikey 
 is there offer @ £20k reasonable ?

Hehe good job, it sounds like they'll fold and match your deal!
It depends what spec your car is, what toys are you going for?

Its about time these dealers gave us customers a good deal
