Hi all,
Just looking for some opinions and figured here would be a good place to get them.
I've found an immaculate MK7 Golf GTI model with low mileage which has had one owner but is imported from Japan. The seller is responsive and willing to provide me with everything he has on the car. He has provided me with a copy of the IVA certification which I understand to be a comprehensive assessment covering most aspects of roadworthiness on imported models.
I'm aware of the underseal issues with imported cars, he informed me he had this done on receipt - will be asking for a copy of the invoice or proof of works. Clocks look to be KMH but there is a digital MPH indicator so not overly fussed by the clocks (we have an Audi Q3 with an analog clock + digital speedo, don't think I've ever looked beyond the digital speedo).
I'm aware of the radio issue and that's my next question to him. Also intend to ask for a video going through the infotainment system to ensure it's either been converted or is UK suitable.
Is there anything else of note that is worth asking? Before I'm asked, the reason for looking at this model versus a UK model is price - a good few thousand less than equivalent + this will be the daily driver for when me and/or my wife are without the baby.
Cheers in advance.
