i have no more to say, it will only drag on and the outcome will be the same, i have just learned a valuable mistake and in future will not mention cars i am planning to buy. guy was offered cash but wanted my mk3 gti instead .
Its a lesson learn't no doubt, but its not the end of the world. I don't think that, that storm was the best of colours and its likely another one will come up for sale in the future.

to add to that, i will agree that the actions of a couple of vultures are far less than honourable. shame on said low down dirty rotten scoundrils.
Your emotional blackmail won't work with me! I've wanted a Storm for years, I saw the car a month ago but couldn't buy it at the time. Ever since then, every day I thought about it and regretted not being able to buy it. And as stated before, I'm still majorly apprehensive because, despite sending a cheque off, I now know that at least 2 others are interested in the car and could "gazump" me by offering slightly more. It would be easy for the seller to tear up my cheque, and also possible he might cash it and leave me in the lurch.
Indeed, I suggested if he had others lined up for viewing it, he allows them to and then only once that's out the way (or he sells it to them), definitely commits to selling to me. After all, I've only spoken to the seller on the phone. Can I ask, do the others actually have the cash available to buy the car, or would they be somewhat leading the seller on? Do you think its fair to do that? And if so, and you want it as much as me, why haven't you phoned the seller yourself and made an offer on the car???

as for fair? morals are one thing. a car for sale is a car for sale. it's offered out to whomever may want to purchase it. sellers and buyers of cars are rarely a meating of like minds. at least one of the two are normaly trying to have the other one over.
if i get time, i'll go see it. it's a huge distance from me though. like wise, i've always wanted a storm. indeed i had one stored in a garage waiting for an overhaul and a paint job. 1 owner from new and as solid a car as you'de ever find. garage got torched!

seriously thou, dubhighland, dont be put of going to see the car and making an offer just because someone else is interested especially if its on your doorstep! and equally dont feel like you have to offer over the odds just because someone else is interested.

according to this site, there were only 300 made in havana brown, http://www.sciroccoreg…r.co.uk/as/as_history.htm
The Mk1 Scirocco Storm was indeed a rare and special car. Unlike the MK1 Golf Campaign (which was not that much better equipped than the equivalent non-Campaign, all told) it had leather upholstry and exclusive colours, making it desirable in its time. And they definitely kept it as a limited production numbers car.
You really dont like the campaign do you paul…!lucky the site is no longer the campaign register…!
