Plans: Will probably hold onto it until it turns 10 or just about to.

Just sold...

Car Make and Model: VW Golf V GTI DSG
Age: Just about 10 years.
Mileage: 199,*** km.
Plans: Was planning to casually shop in 2018 for a new car but when the gearbox started making funny noises it was easier to just swop cars than to fix it.
