    So are we thinking €18-19k is ok?

    You'll not sleep well if you don't go in and start @ 15k for starters and possibly save 3k. A deals a deal - you'll be surprised what discount can be achieved in this enviroment regardless of comment here. You can only ask:)

    ohhhh, and good luck.

    One other quick question - did that car have the DSG gearbox? Parkers is saying the 1.6 had a tiptronic.

    Anyone think it's odd that the car is CE reg and being sold in Kilkenny? If it was a cancelled order, the car could have been de-reg'd. It's also late 2007 reg for Clare.

    Can anyone confirm that it's actually been in stock since 2007?

    Good point on the DSG too, advert doesn't mention DSG, and I didn't think they did it on the 1.6 either.


    My conspiracy theory involves a rental company and a crash.

    +1 - Agreed. It does look like a ex-rental, steel wheels, stationwagon, and auto for the yanks off the plane wanting an auto station wagon in Shannon??? .Probably clocked too (rife in rental i know personally). Lots of cars in rental are CE reg's based in Shannon.

    Before I read any comment here, I was going to say offer €18k, but you mightn't get it for that as the seller might not want to face up to todays realities. He'd need to be very desperate to accept €15k, but some of them are - isn't this really the point niceirishfella is trying to make?

    Yes it's DSG

    As for a crash - you'll need someone with access to PULSE to check that out ;)

    Lol, what ever chance you have of clocking something from 60 to 40, or like wise. But trying to make some one believe a car has 300km's, would be a hard task. If would want to have absolutely no wear. And as a rental, that's surely impossible.

    I would think 18k to 19k would be a reasonable but I have seen some serious reductions on cars recently so chance your arm. I was in at an Auction in Tom Hogans in Galway a few weeks ago and they let a brand new(canceled fleet order)Lexus is250 top spec go for 32.5K, the list price for the car was around the 50k mark.

    Can only find info on the 1.4 Tsi being available in Dsg.

    All the 1.6 fsi's i've found lead to just a tiptronic.

    Car rental companies generally don't buy or register cars so it doesn't matter whether they are based in Clare or not. They take them on short term lease. It is possible the leasing company has some connection with the local VAG dealer ie a subsidiary of the dealership or they simply leased directly from the local VAG dealer. This would explain the CE reg.

    Also the DSG box has has DSG letters at the base of the stick shift:

    That makes me doubt my previous statement about it being DSG. I thought all automatics for the current model with the 1.6FSI petrol engines were DSG and conventional tiptronic wasn't an option but I am clearly wrong!

    The 1.6 FSI Passat had a 6 speed tiptronic box. It never had the DSG option.

    Would that be similar to the Audi Multitronic box. Drove an A4 130bhp with that box and I'd swear it was faster than a manual.

    This was a 2.0 turbo, same engine as the gti i presume. Very, quick. Paddle shift as well.

    Multironic is CVT. Tiptronic is the same as Steptonic, Geartronic etc. Audi offers Tiptronic boxes if you choose a quattro model, and Multitronic for FWD cars, while S-tronic is offered on certain cars models regardless of whether they have quattro or not(DSG).

    I agree with the others that DSG is brilliant, the future of gearboxes in non hybrid cars at least. Dare I say it I think it's better than a proper manual box, and as some people here know, I can never understand why anyone who claims to be interested in cars would ever even consider anything other than a proper manual box.

    I was reading today actually that the Dsg (wet clutch) is being replaced by a dry plated clutch in the 122 bhp TSI engine. Now i had absolutely no understanding of that but surely they can be changing it lol:D
    Apparently it's more economical.

    I'm 99% sure it's not DSG. I looked it up on the system earlier when Anan first posted and it was described as 1.6FSI A/T - normally it would say DSG if it was DSG (normally, but not always...).


    Edit: beaten to it many times...

    All it means is that the clutch design is different, in the same way you have interference engines and non interference engines, or wet sump and dry sump engines, or air cooled and water cooled; at the end of the day whether it's a dry clutch or a wet clutch it's going to do the exact same thing and you're still gonna get lightening quick gearchanges which is what makes DSG so good. A wet clutch will last longer, and give smoother gearchanges, but a dry clutch is more energy efficient and therefore more power gets to the wheels.

    Not entirely correct. Some Car rental co's do indeed buy and register their cars. But Bazz is correct in saying some don't either:) - no bothers!

    Well considering ICR and Dooley's have retail bases the companies would of course buy and register their cars, but you'll find most source cars local to their bases or with particular dealers like Bolands.
