A tale of 2 Golfs that have both done 12000 Miles from new

and a

That’s good, you will be able to see for yourself then, like this poor shmuck, he’s had it for sale since August and had to reduce it by £12000 and it still hasn’t sold, one born every minute, you can’t get them cheap enough to keep up with the depreciation, they are dropping too
