They've put together a deal meaning delivery in January (probably slip slightly due to Xmas shutdowns). No cash in from me, taking the Polo in PX and the payment is the same within £0.80 per month. They'll stand on that deal until delivery.

To me, it's free money. I'm getting back every penny of the deposit I put into the Polo originally, plus another £2k or so. Then getting in to a much more expensive car with far better spec for no additional outlay.
Sounds good, happy wife = happy life. Happy bank manager even happier....

Indeed. May as well take advantage while we can. The current situation won't last.

Ironically, we said the same when we bought the Polo - there was good equity in the PX at that point that we didn't think would last. Now we're a year on and it's better that it was!

Golf GTI went today WBAC paid just over 30k for it 69 plate with 9000 miles I'll look for it on Cinch later in the month, pretty painless experience they were very nice guys, new car delivered tomorrow.

They have a fetish for stone chips and carefully check the car for panel alignment/dents and scratches etc...but didn't even look at the interior.

Had a phone call today from the dealer.
My deal ends next month and I'm expecting my new Audi at the end of November/start December.
They offered to guarantee me a price for my car and I can extend my deal until I pick up the Audi.
Sounds a decent deal and I'll probably go for it.

Is that likely to mean that it's going to retail at £34-35k? Crazy money for a 2 year old previous gen Golf GTi...

From 25 feet as requested, the interior is probably less divisive.

That's lovely Wills2 I personally like the grills, always look good in real life. That interior is very classy. Lots of quality touches, like those door handles.

Top barging!

Floaty barging is ace Coming from a Golf GTI it's like driving a stately home, it feels hermetically sealed utterly silent, it's a weird feeling but I like it.

Just a tad, the boy racers have stopped chasing me down that's for sure, side shot of the barge.

Look at the colour difference that dravit has in the sun

Looks very imposing. I’m a fan of Dravit too - remarkable how different the colour looks in different lights. I can imagine it being impossible to colour match though!

Congrats on the new toy.
