What's the average age of a new Golf buyer/owner...?

wow murphy nice hit...

i had to admit that im not a native speaker and i am not an ozzie...hope that make sense for u...

I assumed as much, but my comment still stands. In Australia, poor written and spoken English is a major problem not only for migrants, but for so-called native speakers. You'll get much further in life in Australia with a solid grasp of English, even assuming your future potential employer is unprejudiced.

And although I must admit I'm a little jealous of your new toy, I question the wisdom of your parents providing such an expensive and powerful car to somebody so young. Road experience can only be learnt, and until you have more experience, learning is best done in a car that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Very difficult to get into trouble in something like that. Furthermore, until you truly know the value of hard work hard, you can't fully appreciate your possessions if they are handed to you on a silver platter. Learnt early, these lessons will stay with you for life.

End statement.

wow - where do I start.. patronize much?
Half his luck I say - I wish my parents could have done the same for me when I was young.. and as for your English language comments ... well, I'll just leave those for now..

Back on topic - bought my first golf (103tdi) at 44 years of age


Great little car - delighted.

I agree with you but a bit harsh on your part I think. Let me put it this way - are you multilingual? If you are not, you wouldn't understand that it is not easy to pick up a second language once you are an adult.

Peace!

No, I'm not multilingual, I can barely handle one language. As for harsh... perhaps.... but time and time again I see very poor attempts at written English on forums and blogs, making it very difficult for other members to understand. Adrian drew the short end of the stick, I fear. However, if you read my post, I do not single out non-native speakers.

The main point of my "condescending" post was questioning the wisdom of parents giving such expensive gifts to adult children. Since Adrian responded to my needling in such a friendly manner instead of attacking the temerity of my comments, this goes some way to proving his parents must be doing a pretty good job on other fronts.

what about the countless number of P platers driving golf's?

[jonjon]

funded...but under my name...need some feedback on this car...any after market parts for mk6 in tuning?wonder whether to get gti r instead?

I thought you have to be on a full license to be allowed to drive the golf gti....you would still be on your Ps i'd imagine. haha. hope u don't get pulled over by the cops.

Very true, here in Vic you need to be on a full license to drive a turbo powered car... not sure about the laws in WA...

Its starting to sound like RSVP profile here.

LOL. I hadn't checked this thread yet and was going to ask if the question was asking for mental or actual age? I'm sure someone else has already said that but wasn't going to read 6 pages to find out!

Was getting close to turning 30 so figured I'd buy myself a new car. Nothing new though, I've used a birthday to justify buying a new car once or twice before hehe

[adrian7386]

yes...i am still a P plated driver...i will get my full license next year...i guess it wouldn't be a problem to drive a turbo car with a P plated in WA...

@Murphy, may i know where u get your vw?need some recommendation to get the best vw dealer around perth...cheers...

So have I, I have used my birthday as an excuse for getting myself a brand new car! LOL

Look up the member 'Dermot' on these forums for who's the best dealer in Perth

[MurphyTheElf]

@Murphy, may i know where u get your vw?need some recommendation to get the best vw dealer around perth...cheers...

I went to the closest dealer and didn't negotiate much because I was interested in speed of delivery and convenience. I can't recommend them over another dealer from that point of view. Also, my dealer is not known for their negotiating power. I'd suggesting going to VW Osborne Park since they are relatively close to you and see what kind of deal you can get. Dermot is a member of these forums and a dealer at VW Wangara - he has mentioned he will deal.

Best of luck.

lol - sure, go for it!
