Hey everyone,

It's a sad day as iv decided to sell my GTI, the for sale thread can be found here for those interested:

Luckily for my next car I shan't be going too far as I am looking at getting a Scirocco R  :smiley:

I suppose it's acceptable to sell a GTI as long as your staying within the VAG range!  :grin:

They're some tasty cars so no criticising your choice.

Good choice young sir!  :happy2:

Does this mean you may actually grace us with your presence at a meet once again?

Hope you guys are prepared for a long wait for your Rocco R's. My old man has been waiting since Dec '09 for his, and has only just been given a Jan '11 build date!!

It can happen, some dealers either pick up canceled orders or order 'ghost' cars on the off chance!

There are a few low mile second-hand models out there.

I happened on a 5k mile, RB, 5 month old car with , 19's, Dynaudio, Leather, Folding mirrors, RNS Sat nav, boot liner, 3 years free servicing, great relevant number plate and have since fitted Blue-tooth and rear view camera.

The only thing I would spec is the Pano roof.

Good luck with the wait, i do think they will start to lessen, although some have hit the 1 year mark.

Cranking car too!  I saw a white one and it looked fantastic! :drool: :drool:

Interesting!

We'll see what my wait turns out to be, obv hoping for the 3, 4 month wait as opposed to the 12! ha

One question, if one were to get a re-trim, is that the sort of thing you need to tell the insurance company? and if so anyone had any experience as to whether it adds anything onto the premium?

Looks nice, why would he sell a car after only 4,000 miles and loose all that money on RRP?

I'm going to get it new though, keeping it for a few years and prefer new.

From day 1 its going to have BBS CH Blacks, springs to drop it a bit and Recaro CS Sporsters with the interior retrimmed in red nappa leather! yum! :laugh:

Not seen one in the flesh until yesterday and happened to see 2, a Black one at Boston VW, looked like a demo car and then a White one in Bradford.

Black one didnt look anything special tbh, white looked  :drool:
