singalong,

What plate is your 06 on a '55' or '06'.

Reason I ask is that the 55 has a lower tax banding than the 06 and could also be a good selling point.

My brother was recently offered what he paid for his around 14 months ago by the garage that sold it to him, as they were struggling to get cars in like it.

Its a more mature way to drive Nick, I'm sure when everyone on here grows up and begins to act their age they will understand
Thanks for the advice Dave, I have had a look at a golf (1.8 T GTI 180bhp of course ) but I think they just feel a bit to small for me, I do like a slightly bigger car.
I am in no rush to buy something as I cant drive at the moment anyway as my right thumb/arm is in plaster (I had to have a right thumb ulner collateral ligament repair operation)

Did the buyer have to inflict this to get the scoob key from you hand ?

Dave's Golf is very nice, they are compact, but I think it's a plus point in a world of door dinking barstewards.
