Thanks!

Doesn't look that outstanding to me Tony. Over a year old, two owners, 23k miles, 150ps for just under £21k. I got my six month old 190 TDI with one owner, under 7k miles for £200 more than that in January. Assuming it was a management / demo to start with, I'd also want to know why the second owner chopped it in after about 6 months of ownership. I've obviously not been looking recently, but last winter there were better deals than that around - mostly in the midlands and the north. Prices seemed to vary by up to £2k for very similar cars, with my area being one of the most expensive. Hence the trip up to Derby.

I'm obviously not going to pay asking price. It's got the pano roof (which is a must for the family) and will stick a DTUK box in for 200BHP.

Agree with @BriskodaJeff, not really a good deal. 

 

My Sportline which had the same engine and was very well spec'd with 18K on the clock, 14 months old and a brand new set of alloys and tyres was up for £17995 when I got rid of it.  It's now been sold and likely to have gone for a bit less.

 

I wouldn't pay nearly 3K more for the car in that link.   Yes it's an L&K but I still don't think that justifies the price.  I'd say £19-19.5k would be a more realistic sticker price.

PM if you want a tuning box for a 150ps TDI.

I was thinking of offering £16,800

Not a DTUK one but BlueSpark Pro + Boost Control.  Very good and no issues with fitting or usage. 

 

I thought about DTUK and then realised their tuning boxes are stupidly overpriced.

I think they'd decline but what the hell! It's almost the end of the month and people traditionally stop buying cars at this time of year as they need the cash for holidays and extra childcare costs with the school holidays so you might get a dealer who is desperate to shift cars. 

 

If you could get it for sub £18k then you'd have done well.

At that price it would be a different story. But my experience was that dealers priced at what they wanted to get (within a few hundred quid) and tended to stick with it. To the extent that showing them an almost identical car 100 miles away at a £2k price differential wouldn't budge them. But they can only say no, so you don't have a lot to lose. 

20% discount on a used car, no chance.

 

A dealer that can't be arsed to wash a car before advertising it is well avoided in my opinion.
