i was in the vw dealers yesterday getting my 18 mth old scirocco serviced and noticed the price of new vw's has gone crazy!!!!! 26k for a diesel golf??
mad.
I know vw are seen as a premium brand but you can get so much more for your cash elsewhere.For example the girlfriend has been sorting out a deal on a brand new nissan juke, this is the 1.6 turbo model (190hp) 4wd and cvt gearbox, full leather, sat nav, revesing camera, metallic paint, etc etc £17180. Yes i know vw's image is better and the interior plastics are nicer, but i recon if vw did an equivalent car it would be at least 10k more.

OP would this tickle your wife's fancy at all? Sounds like a decent deal.farrendahl said:

I bought a Polo for my mother last February. It was a diesel model - maybe that's a cheaper model. Got it for £10500 plus her old 03 Citroen Picasso in p/ex.
Don't know how much prices have changed since then, and I can't remember what the exact price was, but I think I got about a £2500 discount. They had to make some phone calls to get it OK'd (don't know to whom).
It may have helped that mum wasn't fixed on a Polo, and that we'd already got offers on a couple of other small cars, and that we were cash buyers.
I just kept politely saying that their offers weren't good enough. The first sales person (a very professional lady) got her manager, he offered more, I suggested a price I was prepared to pay, and he went away to make a phone call. When he came back, he said it was OK.
This was at the VW garage in Kidlington, just outside Oxford.

Parking sensors on a supermini?!?! WTF is the world coming to when people can't park tiny cars without it beeping at them!
Anyway, search classifieds here and AE, often there are pre-reg examples or <1 year old examples. There are also other sources other than main dealers, also try other dealers in the country, many will order/deliver the car to you.

That's why we have parking on the driving test, if they can't park a small car they should re-take their test! 
It's one of the fundamental parts of driving (we have to do it in some form at the end of every journey).
I can sort of understand it in a large car with poor visibility but not in a supermini.

Out of all the cars I have both owned and driven the only one that had parking sensors was a Discovery 3 that I had on loan from work for a week, and I found them more an annoyance than anything.
