Very Wise 

Personally I would never swap mine for an older car unless it was and older different car for example and RS4 something along those lines.

Stolen recovered means it will be registered with the DVLA as being stolen/recovered...

If you turned upto our garage and we did a hpi check on the car, it would come up as stolen/recovered and we probably wouldnt touch it whatsoever...

It may be 500 quid less now but when you come to sell it you will lose a lot more than that,you would be mad to go for this IMO.

i sold a Standard march 07 GTi and bought a feb 07 Ed30, and pocketed £2000 back in my hand.

Best buy for me. Deals are there to be had, as long as service History backs your decision

Cancelled my purchase with Motorpoint today, after telling them I knew it was stolen recovered. They wouldn't refund my £500 deposit back on my card, as that would incur a small cost for them! I've now got to wait 7-10 days for a cheque, rang trading standards and they have up to 30 days by law. It just stinks that they take your money, then mess you about refunding it.

Anyway, Motorpoint are now putting the GTI back on its website for sale at £12999 ref 293985. The reg is FP56 UBN, you have been warned!

Meanwhile, how do I get an ED30 and cashback???

You made the right decision there Sharman if the deal seems to good to be true then it usually is, but as officer dribble says there are good deals out there.

my opinion is go volkswagen approved, that way you got the dealer backup and you know the car is kosher! as others have said there are deals to be had and at the moment its a buyers market so take your time and haggle as much as poss cos these dealers are not selling much at the mo and will take what they can get!
