    My mum aged 73 wants to spemd more of my inheritance and purchase
    a brand new VW Polo 1.2S.

    Does anyone have a prefered way or place where to get one from?

    Been to the local VW dealer who wont budge on price for a cash
    sale, been to Autobytel who can do it for £841 cheaper.

    What say you lot who know all?

    Thanks
    Alan

    that's hardly surprising since they've just launched a new model.
    well, obviously not brand new. Though I would tend to recommend buying
    a 12-18 month old car rather than a new one anyway.

  4. Well if you can count delivery mileage as "not brand new". I know a
    couple of people who have bought Focus's through them and were very
    pleased. Admittedly that was a year of more ago now.

    Seem to have some very cheap DM mile Megane convertibles which made me
    twitch slightly.

    No, it's a "I have a Megane now, would really like a convertible, but
    would still like it to be practical but they cost loads more than the
    normal ones" post.

    Anyway, a gay car would go with my gay motorcycle.

    And he's obviously at least checked out hairdressing as a career option.

    If it was my mum I'd tell her to stick with the main dealer.
