Over £38000 for in my opinion a rather plain looking Golf!! I'm no VAG basher (having had a Passat and now own a mark 5 R32) but honestly, would you happily pay that kind of money for this car, waiting list or not!?

Nope! Too many cars to list that I would rather have! Bet they sell it though!

I've always assumed people did this to get more attention when people list adverts from price High->Low.

No, the person who ordered it saw sense.

There will probably be some preferential PCP deals on these to make them a worthwhile buy.

Cant see them selling many otherwise.

I've seen a few of these Golfs about, actually. Nice cars, but that is a lot of money!

The dash and binnacle look like they are made with the same plastic as you'd expect in a £5k kia.

Nothing like living on your brands old reputation hey.

40 grand for a gold that doesn't even go as well as a Megane 250?

The world has finally gone mad.

You have got to be kidding.

A Golf, or this, admitted it's second hand. (But it's still German...)

I'd rather have this, as it's close enough to the Golf's price anyway. Servicing and mpg aren't things men think about.

Madness. Guaranteed some old woman buys it because it's "top spec" etc. My housemate told me when he was in the Honda showroom speccing up his Type R an elderly lady walked in and pointed at the Civic he was adding toys to, and said "I want one of those, can you put everything on it please." Salesman sold her a CTR with every single option on the book. Must have cost close to £25,000.

I like that Golf, but you can do an awful lot with 40k. Still, you pays your money....
