Scirocco Central

Sold my Scirocco last night, feel a bit sad this morning. Looks like its gone to a good home though.
Got a reasonable price for it in a private sale which means that it retained 59% of its original value over 4 years. Pretty amazing that I’d say.
The new TT arrives on Wednesday. Been keeping up with the TT forum site over the last few weeks but I don’t find it as friendly as the Scirocco forums, so if nobody minds I’ll still hang around here for a while. I still might be able to offer some help occasionally.

I think you should hang around dude. I'm still a member on the TT forum, was ok a few years ago but these things do change. Sorry to hear your scirocco has gone but hopefully you will be happy with the TT, I think that's the one car I would swap my scirocco for. Which one have you gone for?

Yes good luck with the TT ZephyR, sounds like you got a good price for your Roc. The residuals do hold up quite well I must admit! Hope you do continue to hang around on the forum!

you are always welcome here Zephyr, it wouldn't be the same without you!

Thanks for your comments guys and gals, much appreciated.
Although I had to wait almost as long for my TT as I did for my Roc I some how don't feel any where near as exited as I did waiting for the Roc.
Gone for the 1.8 S-line TT in Ibis white with some nice extras. I did look at getting another Roc but after sitting in a couple in the showrooms I thought ..... I'm spending all this money and it looks just the same as the car I've got now. That's one of the main reasons for a change. But lets see what the Mk 4 Roc has to offer when it comes out.

Mine's going soon too. I ordered a Golf GTD - 24 weeks wait from point of ordering to anticipated delivery in first week of September. Due to strict allocations per dealer (1 a month each dealership on average) and a dealership order amendment cock-up that put my car further down the list than my dad's ordered almost a week later, My dad got his GTD DSG 5 door Deep Black Pearl on Monday. It is superb - the new engine (184PS), the equipment levels, it's interior quality and it's handling/ride are an improvement on the Scirocco. The wait is long, but having a car like a Scirocco in the meantime makes it seem not such an ordeal.

Thank you for posting up the GTD pics - looks fantastic! My local dealer will not see one until September....

Are the silver surfaces of the alloys painted or polished?
