Yeah good example, price is strong though. Suppose that's a good thing for current owners.

Don’t know if it’s sold but it says no offers at £6990.

Makes me laugh though when he says it’s had £2.5k of work done recently, but it was by him so it’s not like it cost him that much to do it.

It does look a good example but the mileage isn’t exactly low, and 2 lady owners is quite off putting to me, I’ve seen my mother-in-laws driving!

7k for that? Jesus no way it's worth that. It was exactly the same as mine altho my drivers seat is in better condition that his and I've had a seat cover over it for the past 6yrs.
30k less miles but that's about it. I'd only want about 3500 for mine haha.

Offer it to him, he might give you £5k!

Volkswizard has always been at the stronger end of the price spectrum, but that's because he is a proper dyed-in-the-wool VAG enthusiast and only buys and sells the best examples he can get.

TBH, a VW expert like him separating the wheat from the chaff isn't a service I would mind paying extra for, personally.  My days of turning up to view cars advertised as mint, which were far from it, are over.
