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.
