Got me a new car

[GreenMint]

Yeah, I realsie they are higher milage, but still, end of the day, I was in his position last year when I bought a 54 plate Civic Sport 1.6 for about the same price, at the same time, I couldn't see at the time what I was doing "wrong" now don't get me wrong, I really like my car, but seeing I could have gotten a mint RX7, Integra DC2, MR2 Turbo +4k change, etc.. makes me feel a 'lil queasy nowadays. Just hope the OP don't feel the same 9 months down the line.

Wow.

Just wow.

Good change from the chavmobile though

 

[Howard]

While I agree £8500 does seem excessive, all of the alternatives above have at least 2x, sometimes 3x the mileage of his

So? 60K is nothing on a well looked after car these days

Plus its a Golf they are the best cars in the world and never ever break or wear or anything.

 

[Nick307]

whether i paid over the odds for it or not, im very happy with it and its exactly what i wanted, i didnt want any other car

 

[Howard]

You wanted a Black 3dr Golf. Hardly a rare thing

Really?

So if your dealer had found you a GT TDI 150 you'd have turned it down?

Why?

Diesel! Dont forget that, diesel golfs are rarer.

 

[Howard]

Good point. I only see about 15 every hour round here

The cleverer dealers would have asked JUST under the persons budget so the buyer would think the dealer had done them a favour

Wish he would have asked me, I could have gone to an auction and got one and charged him 8.5K.......Just like the man at the garage did

 

[MarkDavis]

£8500

LOL

You could have bought a Mk5 6spd GT TDI for that....

 

[Nick307]

Why?

sure if i was offered a TDI 150 i would have taken it.....im beginning to wonder why i bothered posting....lol

 

[Jez]

People are only joshing with you mate, yes you paid slightly too much for the car by going through a dealer. The dealer had to make his profit though, its a very low mileage example described as "mint", so its not actually as bad as people are making out.

There is always someone who will have got a better deal than you, thats life when buying items such as cars which have such variable pricing.

 

[Gilly]

Do you want your name changing? Its the least I can do, given all the ribbing you deserve.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Makes me wonder why, if you were prepared to wait a year for this Golf to be sourced and clearly paying huge amounts for it was not a concern, you didnt ask for a PD 150 instead.

I take it yours is fully loaded with leather Recaros, VW nav system, etc?

 

[ZG002]

150 speced up well one non smoker owner 56k miles

£7495 ono (probs get alittle off that price)

granted its in silver

But dude..http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-u...LF&min_pr=5000&max_pr=8000&max_mileage=100000

countless others for £1k less than you have spent. Doubt the Warrenty will be used either.

Or hell 60k miles 2005 model Mk5 for under £8k

Enjoy your car
