New Old Golf - dodo

Doing the rounds of the local VW dealers on Friday to find a replacement for my mum's Corolla I was asked if I would consider a new Golf V 105 TDi S without aircon. This would be the older pre aircon car but desirablke nonetheless. Seems the dealer has bought 50 of them from VW. Any idea of true woth for Januray registration. Cheers

New Old Golf - Marc

Fail to see how it's desirable personally. If your mum plans to keep it for years and she doesn't require air con then fine, but if you're going to be trading it in in 3 years time I would steer well clear as the residuals will be affected by the lack of air con. It's pretty much expected in the 21st century
