I was just lucky I think mine popped on Autotrader for a day and I jumped on it.

What is your budget, car mileage limit etc you are looking for?

Check out vcars.co.uk also just stick in golf GTI edition 30 for sale in the search browser. Saw a lot of cars randomly listed in all sorts of funny places.

Good luck with your search buddy  :happy2:

Cheers guys  :happy2:

Spec is:

Black, DSG, Xenons, Privacy Glass, Winter Pack, Cruise Control, Highline, MFSW and RNS Satnav.
Shame it hasn't got the rear parking sensors and folding mirrors, really would have liked those but have been advised they can be retro fitted so may have a go at some point.

Its done 55k miles but I've been told a lady driver for the last 40k. I honestly believe this is an unmolested car (I could be wrong though) which to me made it worth having at that mileage.

Got Mine from Pistonheads

DSG... Never driven one before, I hope I like it. The last automatic I drove was a Vauxhall Carlton in the 1990's.. I hope its better than that!

Whats your spec Rampage?

 That car sounds great mate, and a good spec! Most important thing is that its been well looked after and got fsh and lots of receipts.

I pick mine up on Saturday... I ready to explode with excitement  :pomppomp:

its Red, DSG, winter pack, luxury pack (folding mirrors), sat nav, highline, Bluetooth phone prep, ipod prep etc.

only been on this site a little while but already planning some upgrades (this place is dangerous  :signLOL:  )

Thinking about adding Mfsw buttons soon and I'd love a sunroof again, but that mod is probably best avoided! Lol
When I test drove mine it was my first experience of a dsg box and I have to agree with everyone on here - its light years ahead of any other auto. I'm currently driving a brand new BMW auto and the bid is slow. The dsg is fantastic and very versatile. The exhaust even pops when you change up... can't wait to play with the paddles!

You won't be disappointmented mate.

When are you going to view it?

Hopefully all the paper work will be in order

Yours is a good spec too, nice colour, Red was my first choice but couldn't really find anything.

I'm going to see mine tomorrow and hopefully I'll be driving it back home   :pomppomp:

Yes.... the upgrades, and the very slippery slope..   :ashamed: I've already got a couple of bits stashed  :ashamed: an APR HPFP, S3 Intercooler, Dbilas intake(Pick this up in a couple of weeks)..

Cant wait to play with the paddles either   :signLOL:
