So i bought a new car!

Well, My Fiesta has been gone since March and in April, I went and put a hefty deposit on a brand new car and she finally turned up a few days ago.

I bought a Volkswagen Scirocco GT in Candy White, It has the 2.0 TDI engine with 170PS, with a few goodies of course: Leather seats, Xenons headlights, Parkingsensors, Bluetooth, Dynaudio sound pack (DVD navigation and 6CD autochanger, Cruise Control, Electric Folded Mirrors, Multi-Colour Display (for the dashboard).

I have pictures, just in the process of uploading them. Drives great, big step up from my Fiesta, insurance isn't too much either. Despite being Diesel, MPG hasn't been the best since i've had it but i need to run the engine in a bit more first.

When I went to pick her up at about 8 in the morning, Just after I finished signing the papers and the VW lady was about to give me the keys to go home, I get a big splutter of bird crap all over the windscreen but they took her for a nice big clean before they'd let me take it away haha!

How much did you pay for that baby? (Or how much monthly?)

Well, I paid "upfront" to the dealership but took out a £10,000 loan from the bank. She cost £25,500 after a big of haggling with the dealer!

Awesome, I dare say I'm a tad jealous. Nearly got one of these while my car was getting the timing belt done, ended up with a Mk6 GTD though so can't complain :)

I'd love a MK6 GTI and was tempted to go for a Viper Green Scirocco but I always said the first car I buy brand new would be white haha. I'm only 21 but i've been saving for years and fortunate to have a good job.

Ah that's why then, I could have got a cheaper Scirocco if I didn't buy her brand new

Really? That's not a bad price, not sure on the prices here but I think a 323 would be well in the £30000's if you go to a BMW dealer

I'm sure being a VW its a fantastic car but I find that they look good at some angles and just look damn right ugly from others. Personally I'd have a polo or a golf! :P Nice though.
