Hi from Norwich

Hi, I'm Alex from Norwich.
I've just bought a Manual Tornado Red '56' plate GTI, it's only done 36000 miles and has immaculate VW service history. I'm excited to say the least but I've not even seen it yet!

My first question (of many I expect) is, the car comes with 3 months auto protect warranty, but as its from a VW main dealer they've said for an extra £500 odd, they'll try to get it approved for Das Welt Auto which would mean 2 years full VW warranty. Firstly, what do you guys think of the value for money and also does anybody have any experience in making warranty claims with slightly modified vehicles?

Lastly, I work as a car valeter so if anyone has any questions I'll do my best to help.

Thanks

Alex

Welcome to the Tornado Red club mate  :smiley:

I also have one:-



What is the spec of your car? Put some pics up.

AL:
Thanks for the welcome. I went to see the car yesterday and forgot to take any pictures! It wasn't quite as good cosmetically as I was hoping for, the drivers bolster is very worn and has a tear in it, the engine cover has been cracked and then glued together, the o/s front arch is bubbling and the wheels are a bit corroded in places. Even so, I think i'd struggle to find a mechanically better car, it drove brilliantly! If I can do a deal with the dealership taking the bad points into account i'm going to go ahead with the purchase. If anyone has any advice on sorting the bad points they'd be much appreciated, I know they're very common problems.

This isn't a picture I took but is the main pic on the advert, I agreed a deal today and should be picking up on Thursday!   :smiley:
