I wouldnt pay anything over £15,000 for a Golf , or any other modern mass produced car to be honest , at that price point they are justifiable but £35-38k is rediculous! £13.5k got me an 18,000 mile 4 year old 3 door with leather and 18s , in White. I think Il let someone else lose 20 grand on their GTI , THEN I will buy it! :)
