Decisions Decisions
I have been considering changing my White 2.0ltr GT 14 months old for a new Scirocco due to the high residual values. The dealer has just quoted me £4,500 to change to a brand new factory order!
With the new VAT Rate as of Jan that add £472 to the price so lets say £5000 to change. At that money I wouldnt bother!
Here comes the interesting bit he has a Salsa Red in the show room with parking sensors its mine for £1,400.
The colour is the only thing that might put me off any views welcome....
PS I have also been informed there is a price rise as of the 01/01/10 of 2.68%

Salsa Red never really caught my eye until I saw these photos...

Think it's looks particularly well with the 'Spa' alloys (then again, I think that 'Spa' is by far the best of the 17's used on the 'Roc, almost as nice as Inters).
Not sure if this one's been lowered or not?

Re: Decisions Decisions
Personally, if the car is only 14 months old, I wouldn't bother to swap, especially if is ultra low mileage. £1,400 to swap does seem a bargain though, especially if the salsa red car has a similar spec. to yours. Is this the new 210PS model?

Re: Decisions Decisions
I would be soooooo tempted!!!
AND, Salsa is a bit (how can I say) rarer than Candy.... Hesitate to say more exclusive.

Re: Decisions Decisions
Phoned up about the Salsa Red Scirocco this morning and its sold, I guess I’m going to have to just wait on the order book to open on the R20's again!
Dealer has stated this might not be until May/June of next year better get saving....
