Cons:

  • "I viewed a 18 month old golf that had done 10000 miles which turned out to be only 1000 cheaper than VW new RRP price......so by the time these pile on their high APR finance rates it was cheaper for me to buy a Brand new like for like car from VW...... which I did."

  • "There was damage to the front of the vehicle, deep scratches, and a poor fix to the white front trim."
  • "Car was returned 6 weeks later as no v5c arrived, car needed a recall first day I had it, only 1 key (the other came in the post with the handbook) no service history that I had to chase up and had to have an alloy and suspected gearbox leak sorted under warranty, swapped it for a golf gti from derby branch +£6500 and that’s also been a disaster."
