Oh, sorry fellas, I'm on page 9 and somehow forgot that pics had been posted.
It's, ah, slightly unforgettable for 10 grand though. I'm still waiting for the epic ending to this thread where the OP does an M Night Shyamalan reveal which shows that the whole thing was a dream. Or that we're all dead. Or it was aliens or some bint in a lake.
I don't know, it's got to make more sense than what we've been given so far.

Wait, an 08 plate? I thought it was brand new?
You must have missed the memo. A 2010 plate and a 2008 plate are both new in the OP's world.
FACT.

'as good as new', but thats another story and maybe 6 pages of this thread already

You specifically stated as part of your justification that you wanted BRAND NEW.

yes, I wanted brand new, but after finding this one I thought I'd save a couple of grand and end up with same result as getting a new one (ok minus 2 of 5 yrs warranty but heyho)
2000 miles on a car is not very much, wear and tear will be extremely minimal, you can't argue against that
edit: and no it wasnt the same price as a new one, it was cheaper (when you take into consideration finance on both)

Oddly I'm looking at a little car now online, 07 1.25 fiesta auto style. Not a great car but screenpriced at £3699. Makes it a fantastic deal compared to this thing
Miles ?

I'd like to wager it stops faster than your Passat
At slow speed perhaps (sub 40) but thats the joy of driving around in a bean tin, but i bet i wouldn't as the speed got higher.

Its interesting actually, since i have:
1) The best premium tyres money can buy with a 225 cross section
2) ABS / EBD / ESP
3) 4 Pot brembos with 312mm discs and redstuff pads at the front
4) discs at the back
5) quite stiff suspension
6) lots of weight
You have:
1) Non Premium tyres with a very small cross section
2) Just ABS
3) Small discs all round
4) Wobble tastic suspension
5) low weight
But lets face it, i could get to 40 and back to 0 before you've even got to 40.
