Thinking of buying 2.0T GT

Post by Ajlcomputers »

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying a Scirocco, probably a 2.0T GT, I like rising blue and the truffle leather but not sure they were an option together. Does anyone know?

I've also seen one at my local dealer but unfortunately it was already sold. They claim it's purple but having looked at it I would say it's grey. Does anyone know what the official colour of this one is...

Is there anything I should be looking for, any options that are good to have or avoid?

Thanks.

link doesn't work but may be you're referring to midnight blue - probably the 'rarest' of the colours. Haven't seen one in the flesh but reckon I would like it. However, its rarity might go against you when selling.

Options on Rocs are quite limited. Rear sensors would be high on folk's list I suspect.

I think the car must have sold so it's no longer on the official site, this is it on Autotrader.

From searching the net I think it might actually be called Sumatra but if someone could confirm that?

That link didn't work for me but found this: http://www.volkswagenchelmsford.co.uk/C ... 59CYK.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And yes, probably is Sumatra since Indium Grey wasn't introduced until MY2011 (2010)?

Seems a bit pricey for a 09 "mk5" style interior style model, with few extras?

Thanks for confirming the colour Moulin, I Can't find many 2.0 petrols with leather and less than 40k miles for under £14k.

What do you mean by mk5 interior?

"MK5 Interior" is the older dashboard style (Red MFD) from the MK5 Golf. Mine has this being one of the first Sciroccos, it was changed to a white display from May 2009. The interior itself though is the same, it was the dashboard dials, MFD, steering wheel that got changed.
