Advice needed on this Golf GTI
« on: 20 July 2018, 17:44 »
Hey guys,

I have been searching for a replacement car on the relative cheap since my MK 1 Audi TT went bust.

I found a specific Golf GTI for sale by a private seller and wanted your opinion if it sounded too good to be true and/or dodgy?

It's a 2006 MK5 Golf GTI thats had its engine replaced with a edition 30 engine with 85k on it (Guy says he's got evidence of the replacement and receipts etc).

It's also got the following mods:

- Apr Stage 2+ Map
- Apr Hpfp
- Ko4 Turbo
- R8 Coilpacks
- AMD induction kit
- GFB DV+ diverter Valve
- Forge Dv to Intake return and Throttle body Black Silicone hoses
- Dogbone mount upgrade
- NGK BKR7EIX spark plugs
- Methanol Kit Installed.
- Full Stainless Steel Scorpion 3" Resonated Exhaust with Sports Cat.

He said the cambelt & waterpump were replaced 2k Miles Ago and front & back discs & pads were replaced 1 month ago.

Its on sale for £3795.

What are your guys thoughts? Am I being ripped off or does something not seem quite right at the price?

Thanks!

if it's a modified rather than standard your after then fine, as long as it's otherwise in good condition.

personally I prefer a standard vehicle.

I agree Iain, personally i'd be looking for well cared for and as close to standard as you can find.

Those mods should be purely for enjoyment purposes; they'll add very little in the way of financial value.
