Do you think this is a wee bit expensive or does it warrant that price tag with the low mileage?

Dont ask why Im looking  :lipsrsealed:

just looked at it, overpriced i say. The mileage doesnt warrant that price tag when you can get a mk4 R32 with around 50k on the clock for similar money.

I would say its worth 7.5/8k tops

Marble or an Anniversary?  :huh:

Being totally honest mate you've got to let your head rule your heart on this one.  You'll find it a very disappointing drive compared to your MK4  :sad:

Anni is a superb looking car but you'll be going backwards about a 100 hundreds in terms of driving dynamics and performance.

It really boils down to what you want from a car but IMO the mods on your MK5 have turned it into a good-looking, great performing hot-hatch :afro:

If your selling your MK5 because you need the cash just buy a cheap 1.8T map it and thrash it  :laugh:

over priced but un modified low mileage, one owner i paid more than that for my pd 150 with 46k on the clock ..was 4 years ago though lol
Title: Re: Overpriced?
Post by: tech1889 on 24 September 2010, 12:36
4years ago they were a hell of a lot newer than they are now.. there are some nice ones going for 7 to 7.5k ..

Yea i agree it is about 2k overpriced suppose it all depends if you could strike a deal with them although i doubt you could get more than £500 knocked off

It doesn't justify the price, but the red anni's are really hard to get hold off, probably because they look the best  :tongue:

If I was going to buy a mk4 again I would only have an Anni or R32.
