AZURES3 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDi 140 GT 5dr Diesel Hatchback 2009 We are moving and I need a work taxi, I like the Golf MK6 GT model and they seem to drive nicely for what I need these days. Dealers are asking £13500 for the same spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Although the seller says 'Private', the way teh ad reads, sounds like it's a dealer with home premises. Should be more haggle room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 We've got a new neighbour. He drives a VW Golf TDi. Not sure on the exact model. All I know is it sounds like a tractor through a pair of very big speakers every morning when he starts it up. I had no idea Golf's were so damned LOUD!

The older PD jobs are loud and a very distinctive noise it is too. The newer common rail jobs produce less than half that noise. Amazingly massive difference!

NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I can honestly say its the loudest diesel engine I've heard outside of a HGV. It is ridiculous. He can't park either, but that's another subject... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I called the guy and he was vague to say the least so decided to take this one off the list. This one seems a good car but when I check on Glasses guide they saya maximum dealer price of £12,500, with the Mk7 deliveries starting in December and cash ready I am sure they will want to do a deal ?

cruiser647 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Could you wait until the Mk 7's are in the showrooms? Reckon it will make a big difference in price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZURES3 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Could you wait until the Mk 7's are in the showrooms?Reckon it will make a big difference in price? unfortunately I need a car in the next 10 days as we are moving, I have not needed a car until now since selling the S3. I have up to £13k to spend, as we have the Tiguan a hatchback is fine. Looked at the Seat Leon's too but they have the same issue with the new model coming out. I think the Golf will be less affected and was hoping that they already have benn hit a bit by the MK7 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Can't comment on the value or the common rail 2.0TDI engines, as my Passat had a PD lump. However, GT spec is excellent - that one is almost exactly the same spec. as my TSI. My advice would be to find one with Dynaudio stereo and a reversing camera, too - both worth their weight in gold.

Cuprabob Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I concur with the above comment regarding Dynaudio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I know its a daft thing to say, but don't forget that to confuse people VW have a TDi GT and a GTD!! Someone I worked with ordered a TDI GT expecting the GTi spec car was a bit disappointed when it didnt look like he expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 That's a good point if you're ordering off a company car list... on the other hand, I reckon GT spec. is the best 'everyday' spec. - smaller wheels, softer suspension. I'm pretty sure the levels of kit are pretty much on par - it was just the suspension, wheels and bodykit that differs. I like my GT - but as a 1.4TSI-160, it costs me a bit to have it - both in tax and also because I can't hit the kind of MPG I need to break even on HMRC recommended mileage rates.
