Don't give up hope, keep looking & you will find one! You won't be disappointed especially once you start the mods!!

Bad luck. I must say the prices of used Rs are starting to look very attractive but that in turn suggests a load of depreciation if you buy new?

got a phone call from the dealer today the sale fell through so i put a deposit down.
i haggled and got them to drop the price a bit and as i only want to put 15k down am putting the rest on finance and got them to drop the finance rate to 5% aswell.
am talking to them again on saturday so hopefully everything will be ok'd and confirmed by then for me to pick it up next wed
so ive bought a 2010 r dsg with 18k miles , in black, 1 owner,leather,sat nav and a few more options which i cant remember but unfortunatley they have taken it off the vw site so i cant link it.

picked the car up today so now a proud owner of a lovely black roco R
Re: just missed buying scirocco r grrrrrr - not anymore :)
I'm looking for a very similar car - black with leather, in fact, I think the one you've bought is/ was on my watch list... The prices seem to more attractive than they were a few months ago!

i asked the dealer why the other chap hadnt bought the car and apparently his finance was declined. i was bloody lucky as this spec,milage,model was really priced to sell to get another one close but with 10k more miles and les options was 1k more from another dealer.mattw wrote:I'm looking for a very similar car - black with leather, in fact, I think the one you've bought is/ was on my watch list...

after looking for so long all i can say is dont ruxh into buying one as occasionaly a decent spec and deal raises its head you just have to keep an eye out on a regular basis on the vw used site.
good luck with your search when you get one you def wont be dissapointed
