Returning car at end of PCP

Hi, Looking for a bit of advice regarding the return of our car at the end of the PCP agreement.

Re: Whats it worth??????

There not that much any more IIRC there £1725 in conjunction with a pack we have already ordered. The other option is lounge leather at £845 so there only £880 more. We have had a 53 plate supercharge mini and a 57 plate turbo charged clubman, I loved them both, great fun. Something I think the Scir...

Re: How do you rate the sciroccos **INTERIOR** design?

Hated the interior, couldnt stand the cloth seats. Got leather, black dash and door grabs, dash trims carbon wrapped and an R gear knob all done by the dealer before we collected. So much better than standard :D

Re: Whats it worth??????

Maisbitt thanks your comments Dealer fitted the extras FOC so they gotta stay. 17k is a bit stingy it wont go for less than 17.5k or we'll just wait till Aug, We change our car every 12-18 months as a rule. Performance doesn't bother me. I ride a ZX10 so get my speed kicks there :) The plan at the m...

Re: Piano Black Trim

We got the stereo surround and the triangular door handles in piano black fitted by the dealer when we bought our car, cost £60 and fitted F.O.C. With reference to the 3 trim strips I fitted some 3M Di-Noc carbon wrap and they look awesome IMO anyhow but Gloss black vinyl can also be bought, this is...

Re: Another Scirocco or a Golf gti

SIlver 130, I came from a Mk6 3dr GTI DSG to a Scirocco in March. IMHO DSG is awesome however after the novelty of the paddles wears off your just left with an auto, and I personnally just got bored of driving it. The Scirocco IMO is much more fun to drive, more comfortable and much better looking, ...

Re: Need quick advice, Leather or Cloth

INHO the leather is an absolute rip off, but we hated the cloth seats and as such the only option was leather. I wanted the truffle but my partner hated it so we specced black. We had originaly specced winter pack (only for the heated seats) so after removing this, and including our negotiated disco...

Re: Missing Service Interval Display?

If you've done 10k and you want T&D servicing just book the car in to VW. You don't have to wait for the car to tell you. While it's there i'm sure they'll sort out the MFD problem for you.

Bonnet fitment.

Hi,
Been in to inspect our car today ready for collection on Tuesday. All seems to be good, however the bonnet is slightly proud of both wings by an equal amount! Is this normal or can the wings be adjusted to make up for the mis-allignment?

Cheers

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Ordered ours 31 Sep. Just heard we've got build week 4. Hopefully delivery March? Looking at other posts have my doubts if this will be the case but VW Ipswich been really good so far. Guess they can only tell me what they are being told. No one can help the weather and shipping delays. If it slips...

Very irritating. Secondly during the snow l...

Re: Which diesel? 140 or 170?

Ordered 170 this week, was originally gonna get a 140 and remap it. However. After going through the finance on Solutions PCP, due to the much higher GFV of the 170 we got the same monthly payments for an extra £316 deposit. Cheaper than a tuning box. Secondly if you look at real world values of aud...
