Well guys/gals, after much deliberation - I've decided to sell the GTI and get something else - probably a VW Tiguan as I need a small SUV/4X4.
Thrashing out a final part-ex fee today and seeing what deal I can do. I'll also put the car up on Pistonheads as I'm in no rush to get rid and can wait for the right buyer.
Will be sad to see it go, but I'm not using it enough and I need something more practical for my lifestyle.
Have really enjoyed this forum over the past couple of years, so might well hang around here for a while.
Cheers,
Cass
