optional extras over and above the base specification

i am assuming these are sticker prices as at the end of the day how much you can knock that down may have an impact

No extra options, and normally they won`t bargain much on the asking price
They are a lot cheaper the VV dealerships
Only try and get as much as I can for my part ex (they offered £500 more than my local VV dealer and that was over the phone!!!

No options at all? No parking sensors, leather, nav, bluetooth nothing? Seems slightly unusual.

What sort of mileage would you be doing? If doing less than average then the higher mileage examples make more sense for less money.
If you are doing lots of miles 12k+ I would go for the lowest mileage example. Some thing with above average mileage will be harder to sell on come change time...

What happened to the night blue you were supposed to be picking up march/april time? Or the others you were looking at the other week?
Why were they ruled out?

I get the sense you are nervous to make the jump/commitment so perhaps some more saving would be a better option?
& in addition to goat boy's questions what is your criteria for buying? Price? Age? Mileage?

I'd go for the bottom one assuming it's just had it's 20k service. The middle one's more miles and more price. Unless you want to fork out for the lowest mileage one but bearing in mind the durability of VWs diesel engines you're not missing out on much going fora higher mileage one.
