Post by darrens_here »

Hi Guys, spent the day driving around looking at scirocco's, trying todecide what i wnt in one. So, the list is:-

Grey metalic
Sun roof
DSG
210 bhp
Leather


Ive only found one, and its a little tatty..... whats likely hood of finding another for sale? Does anyone know of any.

ps - cant view the for sale section as yet due to limited posts

I would think the sticking point on the commonality will be the colour. Leather, DSG, 210 TSI are all pretty common, sunroof is a bit of a personal choice and a little colour sensitive on looks but pewter and indium grey aren't the top sellers. Rising blue, candy white and deep black will all be a lot more common with that spec.

yeap, seen quite a few candy white ones. TBH I was after the white, but now ive actually compared the two side by side, think i prefer the grey...... although silver also does things for me ! :-P lol

If anyone sees one around, let me know.

Best ones of course will be with the main dealers but expect to pay a premium. Autotrader may be worth a look as some good examples can be had from independent garages, but do your homework, - these are performance cars so care should be taken on any potential purchase.

yeah, i know what you mean. Seen one which was pretty much the spec i want, but at a main dealer, a little overpriced (compared to some candy white ones Ive seen/been offered), and also a little tatty. I came on this site to see if there was any from an "enthausiast"....
