tribs Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Is this something you do regularly? (Buy car, keep for a few months and then sell it on) Or is there some other reason for selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonl Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Alpina, good choice [/ QUOTE ] even my BMW dealer couldn't understand why people bought them. I think they look ugly IMO! stick with the normal M's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Like to be light on my feet and keep trying new stuff really To be 100% I cannot fault the GTI at all - and to be 100% honest I would say that even if I wasn't selling one. It really does everything you need and is so well made and practical too. Had a few VW dealers wanting the car so they can sell at list or over but I'd rather let it go to another car freak privately...ho hum.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
