Re: Part-Ex or Private Sale?

I have a minimum part-ex price agreed with the dealer, as my new car won't be ready until late June/early July, and they have told me I am more than welcome to try and sell it privately. There is no finance outstanding and the car is in great condition so may take a punt and put it on Autotrader a c...

Part-Ex or Private Sale?

I am currently awaiting delivery of my new car and am considering selling my Scirocco privately as opposed to taking the part-ex price offered by the dealer. Although the deal they have offered me is acceptable, there appears to a be a limited supply of used Scirocco's on the market which is keeping...

Re: Another one bites the dust!

my local SEAT dealer has a more door in so going to take it for a spin in a week to see how it compares to the R Would be really interested to hear your thoughts when you've driven the Cupra mate. Was really interested in the Golf R and Audi S3, and really loved the way they drove. Thought the Cupr...

Re: Another one bites the dust!

So are you going for the 5-door or the 3-door SC?? I quite like the look of the SC to be honest... I have gone for the 3 door Cupra 280 SC with DSG in Monsoon Grey. I've also added the optional side skirts just to finish the look off. Only ordered two weeks ago, which have gone very slowly, and hav...

Re: Another one bites the dust!

I never thought I'd have a SEAT and was really interested in the MK7 Golf GTi but the new Cupra is a very similar car with identical handling only with that bit of extra pace that I felt the Golf was lacking.

Another one bites the dust!

Well having owned my Scirocco now for nearly 18 months and loved every minute of it, the time has come for me to move on. After much deliberation on what to go for next and test driving lots of cars from the MK7 Golf GTi and R to the Audi S3 and BMW M135i, I have placed an order for the new Seat Leo...

Re: MK7 Golf R

Don't know whether it's just that blue that puts me off. Have to wait and see it in some other colours.

MK7 Golf R

Anyone else seen the new Golf R yet? I'm personally not that keen on the looks of the new Golf but the performance of this baby sounds awesome!

Re: Service - Jeez!

I got told the same about one of my interlagos alloys when I had the car serviced last month and also that my two rear tyres were down to 2mm (they have done 26k though to be fair). Despite the buckled alloy, it was only an advisory on the MOT and it makes no difference to the way the car drives or ...

Re: Keep or let go?

It all depends on how much money your are looking to get for it. You will always get more by selling it privately than part-ex/trading it in, but it's whether you want to go through all of the hassle involved in a private sale. Get a part-ex price on a car you are looking at buying then check out Pa...

Replacing 18" Interlagos with 19" Lugano's.

As the title suggests, I have the oppurtunity to get my hands on a set of 19" Lugano wheels taken from a Passat CC. Not being very good at this kind of thing, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether it is as simple as just replacing one set for the other or whether there's more to it? I...

I can only dream of that kind of MPG! Getting around 350 to the tank like the other petrol heads doing mostly short journeys on B roads.

Re: iPhone4 MDI connection

Just done the same myself. Bought a second hand iPod off e-bay and now have my entire music collection in my car at all times without having to keep plugging my phone in.
