Loucyffer - sound advice there, thanks very much hadn't thought of using the VW locator or the VW dealership route. Having had a look you obviously pay a premium - their prices are above market price but then as you say i can specify to them exactly what i'm looking for and in the meantime we can keep looking ourselves at other trade and private ads. 
Don't forget that's without haggling. You should be able to work a better price once you've done a bit.
I've also found, after hours of idle browsing on their locator, that VW dealers are a bit slap dash when it comes to putting the fine spec on the web. So ticking lots of 'would like to have' boxes just results in finding no vehicles. Keep the search terms broad & be prepared to phone the dealers to confirm specifications.
