Christ, just found this thread - I've just put a deposit on a 57plate 2008 Black 3dr MKV Gti.
Thing is I don't want to pay more than the £15k I'm spending, so wouldn't buy a new one any way.
I can cancel as the deposit is subject to seeing the car, and I don't want to buy a lead weight, but I do want a Golf GTi.
What to do?
