I received my new GTI DSG in Black Rubin last week. Photos don't do it justice. I think it's a great colour.

I debated getting it but went for Pure White instead as I didn't know what it would be like in the flesh. Still happy with my choice but seen a couple since then and they do look good, especially in the sun.

Current offer at Stable looks OK – http://stablevehiclecontracts.co.uk/volkswagen-gol...

Only 5k mileage on that though. Most quotes are 8k which doesn't seem an option on that link but 10k bumps the price up quite a bit.

Was hoping VW would have some decent Q1 deals on the GTI but nothing amazing out there, they seem to be prioritising the R estate.

So just find out what the excess is...

8k per year, albeit 36 months – http://www.freedomcontracts.com/Volkswagen-Golf-MY...

Personally I think if you’re waiting for a £200 a month deal then you’ll be disappointed.

New to forum please be gentle with me. I leased an A4 Audi Estate 1.4 sport almost 2 years ago. Lease up April 1st. It was a ridiculously low price 3+23 @ 220 Inc vat. Clearly not going to get as good deal this time round but as long as the price is close to depreciation on a new car its a no brainer in my opinion.

I have found a deal on Golf GTi, it looks about the best out there are the moment. Any thoughts?

I also have a question on the return of my Audi, do they hammer you on wear and tear? The wife has managed to kerb one of the wheels and wondered if worth getting sorted myself before returning.

Term: 36 months
Payment Profile: 3 + 35
Annual Mileage: 10,000
RFL Included: Full Term
Initial Rental: 3 monthly payments (£870.51)
Monthly Payment: £290.17
Excess pence per mile: 6.27

I was looking for Golf GTI deals and didn't spot anything that good, certainly looks like one of the best deals around. Mind sharing who it is with? Would be interesting to know what it is for 24 months which would make it comparable with many of the other deals about.

Has anybody else encountered issues with sat-nav display between the dials?
I've used the navigation view almost exclusively in the last 6 months but last 2 journeys has displayed an error in the drivers display. If i switch the nav view back to the big screen, it seems to track my journey fine. I don't see any troubleshooting info in any of the books supplied with the vehicle.

My car has asked for an Oil Service (13months and 6500miles) - VW want £185!

This sound right, sounds like a lot to me.

My dealer said it's not needed and they will just reset the light (obviously set wrong from factory)

I recently paid £210 for first service , mileage 16k.

Was your car same age and mileage? Which dealer?

I assume you have one of the £70 a month 66 plate cars. I got my mother one back in December 2016 and it now says it wants an oil service at only 4500 miles and after checking the inspection is only a few months away so was going to get them combined. Might be worth a call to see if it does actually need it.

I was told it was obviously set incorrectly! I have only done 5000 miles and car is 13month old.

Yes correct, absolute giveaway car! I'll give them a bell and ask, but for my local area I just get to a VW bookings centre and all they only want to spend my money!

Whats the inspection?
