I have a double booking for a 2011 Candy White Golf GTI SE (with sunroof+RCD510+18" Detroits+MDI+Cruise Control) with two different dealers, both cars arrived at the same time and I can only take one (obviously!). So I have an extra booking to let go for anyone who's interested. Car is already in stockyard, ready for delivery.

If anyone is interested, PM me

Sorry! just found out cars arrived on the same ship on 21st December... You settled for the tsi? It no doubt still a good car, but why settle for less when you could go all the way?

Finally took delivery, 6 months 1 day after making the booking. First drive home and I knew instantly it was worth the wait!

This is a very subjective matter.. It depends on how much commitments you already have (housing loan, living costs, family (single/married/with kids/no kids)), how much downpayment you intend to place (which affects how much loan you gotta take and monthly repayments).. So there's no straightforward answer to it. Rule of thumb is probably budget to spend maximum 1/4 of monthly income on your car loan.

Yup, was taken at Veemer

Thanks guys!

I checked the VIN number, 10th digit is a "C" which indicates a 2012 model year I was surprised too, expecting it to be 2011. So I guess it's manufactured 2011 but 2012 model year.
