Welcome.
In a desperate couple of days last month I went searching for one and was invited for a test drive, put a deposit down and stupidly forgot to tell the actual owner inside the 14 day cool down period ( just their 'secretary' who has since left the business.)
My word against theirs of course, not the end of the world but it does sting a bit. I even renewed the tax for another year at the end of September thinking it was a given the stable would remain the same.
I really don't mind putting some extra funds into my Mk7 since the second hand prices have been getting silly. The £250 currently in limbo would probably guarantee a pass.
I don't need all mod cons and the boot on my Tourer is everything I could wish for in a thoroughbred workhorse.
I really hope she just hasn't had just one too many owners but will know at the end of month.
Will post pictures of what happened in the usual section once I've got them off the mobile.
Was a lovely drive nevertheless, just not entirely practical as an estate car, more an exceptional hatchback.
