it does shock me how cheap some cars are going for nowadays. when i bought my 2.0T last year (see sig) i chopped in a 2005/54 A3 1.6 Sport. had a couple of nifty extras - tiptronic, 6CDC, arm rest, BOSE, auto lights, rear parking sensors but it had 70k miles on it and was looking fairly tired (stone chips, keyed down the side, one fog light was cracked). it did have new tyres and brakes though. a MAIN DEALER gave me £6k for it! some of you guys are trying to shift your very well cared for GTIs for not much more than that! beggars belief...
