The 150 is from those four in Liverpool- only one left...
I guess it's down to the price they give me on mine and whether they can match the finance deal...
I have called around loads of dealers today, Birmingham have 3 but would not meet move below £41k!!
My Touran is a 150 with dsg - it's ok but would prefer the 204. The 150 does have all the plastic on the floor though, and I could smell it from 150 miles away!!

I know that Marshalls Scunthorpe is worth a shout as they were willing to deal on there 204
Nice one so what did you pay in the end

Because of all you guys on the forum, I ended up going for the 204 bhp. I went for the 66 plate one with the electric sliding doors, bike rack, 2 years service plan and the paint and scotchguard protection all in at £39,000 financed at 6.9% on a lease purchase... roll on Wednesday
Good price if I had thought I'd have gone for one instead of a Cali
That sounds amazing - NICE ONE!!!
I actually ordered a 150 - why? Because we'd had SO much trouble with our bi-turbo 180 and I didn't trust them at all.
Turns out the order got mixed up and they must have ordered a 150KW (which happens to be 204S) instead of 150PS and hey presto, we got a 204. After about an hour of the dealer being on the phone after I noticed the mistake, we got the 204 for no extra money. I decided to go for it as we got the 5 year proper warranty and am very happy with it.
I think I'd hesitate on getting a FWD 204 as even our 4motion really can spin it's wheels off the line (the 180 was almost impossible to spin); I imagine a FWD 204 would be a wheel spinning, torque steering nut job but maybe gearing tames it slightly.
Sub 10s 0-60 (just under 11 for the California 4motion we have) is a bit loony and it's hilarious watching white van man disappearing in your mirror after trying extreme tailgating. It even shows a fair few (admittedly quite modest) cars a clean set of tailpipes - or it would if you could see them!
The Gen6 has such a nice interior. The seats aren't sturdy enough for a camper (apparently alcantara won't hold up to being trodden on!) but they are flipping lovely. Best VW interior is ages IMO.
Enjoy!!

Thanks Polzeylad
I also ended up selling the Touran via a new website Called tootle basically like car wow but in reverse. I had 5 bids on it, spoke to the dealer had a little renegotiation and 3 hours later, finance paid off and £650 cash in my hand... makes the total loss £1350 but I can live with that with a £15k saving on the van...

Thank you, I can't wait!!
The pressed ones above are totally legit as far as I can see; correct font, correct spacing, makers name and postcode, BS mark.
