So, after a conversation with Sales manager at the VW dealer I bought my GT170 from last week, they have agreed to change it for a Mk6 Golf.
I now have 3 lights on the dash (coil, engine management and DPF), and it's constantly pinging at me, and runs like pants!
Paid a visit to VW dealer yesterday, discussed options, and told them what car I am now looking for... not another diesel!!
I totally appreciate there will be no straight forward swapping, and I know I will have to pay some money for a newer model, but I don't want to feel like I have lost out - again.
I have seen a Mk6 GTI, in Candy White, only the 17in Monza's (as opposed to the 18s) and cloth not leather. I would prefer leather, and although the dealer says most enthusiasts would rather have the check cloth (?), they are prepared to do a deal on retro fitting leather. The Golf has 33k on the clock, on an 09 plate. I have yet to see it, as its at another branch, but it looks to have Irish plates on (CRZ****)... should I be worried about an Irish plated car? Is it classed as an import, like an imported jap car?? Do I have to re-register the car?
Also, I know VW dealers can "buy" cars from other franchises, but can they "buy" from another VW dealer that's not the same franchise?
Like I say, I don't expect something for nothing, but just wanted your advice really guys on this car/deal? I am waiting for the dealer to call me with figures, and I guess that will help with my decision, but interested in your thoughts, as I have never been in this situation before!
Thanks
