I bought my car in March last year.

Planning to keep it another couple of years and then look for a very late model, i.e. an 07 or 57 plate.

However a bit worried.

When i bought my car in March, there seemed to be about 23-27 diesels on there typically.

Seems to have dropped.

Anyway, looked today and just 9 on there!

Not good!!! :cry:

Couldn't find a decent one in scotland at the right price, plus half of the ones i went to look at had been ragged/modified by someone who hasnt got a clue etc...

:) You did the right thing.Nothing worse than buying someone else's used and abused.
Can turn into a bottomless money pit.
The one at Parks is a cracker.Only 7,000 miles.But £10980 is still too much.

Yeah people are holding onto their cars at the minute and dealers are reluctant to buy more stock, annoying as I'm after a Golf GTI and I can't find a single good one!

Hi , i was looking for a cupra tdi for about a month - was checking out auto trader and all the other sites everyday , like you say there are very few around that have low mileage and on a 57 plate or 07 . In the end i paid £10,000 for a 57 plate with 17,000 miles on the clock from the car shop megastore in northampton . The buying experience was awfull but i really wanted the car so put up with the terrible sales technique !! Great car tho :D

took me a couple of months to find my 20VT cupra, because i wanted a yellow one! Got it from chester in the end....and i live in aberdeen ha ha! Glad i did tho!!!
 
i was after an fr petrol for ages as my car was getting near its mot that was going to fail badly i couldnt find one locally anywhere but i sourced a cupra petrol about 150 miles down the road im happy that i couldnt find an fr now although i could have saved some pennies on insurance,i was only going to settle for black or grey.
