Just been to the dealer today as they had a Black 1.9 Multi in for £20K but
I have negative equity on my 1.8T SE so I'll have to leave it till next
year.
Funnily enough managed to look at the computer printout on his desk whilst
he was away and the Stand in Value was £18695 and they where selling for
£20995. when he came back I played on the fact it was Black and not really
the colour I was looking for plus it didn't have a 6 disc head in it like
mine or side and rear blinds. He eventually knocked £1000 of the price but
tried to tell me he was selling at just above cost.

Still economics tell me I'll have to wait another year or win some money.
