I bought my 08 PLate 5dr Candy DSG with 39K FVWSH and better spec (Xenons, Sat Nav, Premium Sound pack, Sunroof and all the stuff that one has) for less than £12K  :happy2:

It did need a spare key cutting and front splitter needed repainting (stone chips) but £275 and thats all sorted!, plus there are plenty of them round at moment., hope that helps guide you on price.

Good luck getting a good un, its a buyers market!

I appreciate I am biased in my response....

Maybe it is that the last of these cars are off of the 3 year company leases now, but the prices really do seem to have been hit in the last couple of months...biased, YES, but that is why I am looking to buy one!

Don't worry, it looks a bit expensive for me and I am only looking for a manual.

Love the colour, probably my favourite available on the car.

I was only messing. It's a free Market. :D
I reckon hes over priced and will have a job getting what he's looking for.
The 5 door pirelli for sale here might be a good bet or the black Ed 30. Both are priced right with the Ed 30 at 11k!!
Whatever you decide good luck with your search.

We both missed that amazing black 3 door pirelli that carrera2s had for sale. Gutted over that one. :(
Did you see it?

I saw the ad, it looked like a very well sorted car. To be honest I have my toys and I just want a standard car to drive without too much complication, involving fettling and insurance.
