22k is the millage :P

£17k seems like a reasonable price for the age, millage and spec :happy2:

Post by: PhilNUK on April 01, 2014, 09:02:09 am: Gorgeous

I paid £11500 for mine in September and it had 29k miles on the clock. It didn't have the DSG or the Xenons and mines Candy White (so add a grand for the paint alone ;) )

People will pay what they want to pay for the car they want... It's hard to find a low mileage one with the spec you want these days... Looks a great example

Enjoy

Exactly, a car is only really worth what someone is willing to pay

I've paid over the odds for some cars because it was exactly what I wanted, had the miles that I wanted and the spec that I wanted.
