Does the 2013 model come with the 130kW engine? (Instead of the 125kW...but that's stuff all difference...it was the 380NM of torque that was nice...)

Does the dealer sale come with any kind of warranty?

Just a statutory, I think it's 3 months 3500km
They offer extended if you service with them with roadside etc but a bit of a hike to get there (1 hour drive away from home compared to 15min to local VW)

2013 should also have power tailgate, rvc and satnav.

Yep check on all those for both.

They are essentially the same build except for engine/sunroof, dealer vs private

I'll save the guessing here the links

2012 has one tiny dent on tail gate, paintless guy supposed to be sorting it
2013 I've not seen yet.

Going for another drive on Sunday, anything In particular I should look out for? 60k service won't be too far off.

See if you can negotiate the 60K service within the deal it will save you some $$$ if so

Good luck

They have just done the 45k service inhouse, but not sure what that has actually included.

they were trying to upsell me on an extended warranty with some mention of next 2 services possibly included (995 for warranty).

So far negotiated from 29888 to 27800. Pretty much at my upper limit of spend without borrowing (was aiming for a car around 26k but too many km or lower spec at that price or lower. Or knocked around)
