Toying with idea of buying from cargiant myself at the moment as automatic golf match tdi's seem easier to find in England,they seem also on average to have better milage than similar spec cars than the few I find here,and cheaper too.
but the VRT site won't let me imput automatic for some reason,I presume that I'l have to pay extra here for an automatic?

You have to select Golf 1.9D from the dropdown

I live in the UK so it is easier for me but I have bought three cars from cargiant and they have all been spot on. I still have the first car I bought off them 7 years later.
They are almost all ex-fleet cars so will have been serviced more or less on time etc but may show two owners. They also do trade-ins but i don't know if they sell them on themselves or send them off to other companies to sell, most cars are 4 years old or less.

I do know of a workmate who got a crap car off them, but it was his own fault for getting an automatic vauxhall... the thing was nothing but trouble but he flogged it for almost the same amount as he paid for it, but was down overall due to repair costs.

One thing to note is that they often show a car as "new arrived stock in preparation stage" but it might be actually on the lot waiting to be sold. If you spot a car with the spec you want, ring them.

Some cars are in big demand, so they go fast. We were watching for a petrol verso for the missus and one day about 8 of them all disappeared, including one we were looking at.

Dont see why not tbh, worth ringing up and asking. Worst case scenario is that you may need to get your friend to come with you.
