as some of you know i sold my polo gti a while ago and i have seen it on sale on the vw website for the same price as a bought it

i got done out of 2k gutted, im missing it so much
i think i might get another, how long do you reckon it will take to order one?? few months, weeks?

a factory order takes 10 - 12 weeks

or ask them to look on system for you what is already built and in storage in the country, thats how i got mine, with the spec i wanted, and it only took 3 days to get her

I bought mine for Â£13,750 and got Â£10,600 for her 5 months down the line on trade-in (for the Mini) not too bad considering book price was Â£11,000 max, it's up for sale at the front of the forcourt for Â£11,995. 12,400 miles Black Sunroof & Climate.

How come you sold her Bramley? Are you without a car now that you've sold her?

Like what Jeff said, if you were to place and order and it was to be built you're looking at a minimum of a 3 month wait!

yeah black was my choice after having a red one purely for the clean factor, when done its like a mirror, but the grill detail is lost

and i paid a little over .. wait for it Â£12k for mine brand new, never registered before with everything bar sat nav and reverse park sensors

:O how did you pull that one off???
i paid 14 for mine with no extras and sold if for 11,500 and now its for sale at 13, 495

i havent seen a black one in the flesh yet, they still sporty looking??

Mine was about Â£11,800 a year old with all options (inc sat nav) except leather. Managed to get Â£11k for it nine months later but that took a fair bit of haggling. Some dealers only offered Â£9.5k for it, and it was minty mint condition too.

Go for another white one, they look great with 17s. Grapos looks the business IMO.

Making a great choice coming back to VW!!

Although being really hard to keep clean, Black is THE best colour option for any car imo

, totally worth it.

Go for it. I too think picking from stock would be the best thing to do and sure you'll get more discount.

Also if you can get the dimming rear view mirror package, as mine doesn't have it & I really wish it did (I comp'd on the spec)

i had the dimming mirror in my old one and it is brilliant, id love another white one, maybe a few months and then i will have a look around, and will be able to get a good bargain for under 12k i think??
