Sounds like a good spec and price, 44k is about average for the year of car.

A high spec car but £12K I think is pushing it a little, it needs to be £11K or nearest offer. But you never know just pitch the seller an offer.......
-
for £12k you could buy something that's not a volkswagen family hatch. a ford focus and money to spare for the monthly shop perhaps?
-
Good point :)
However, I'm not keen on the Ford. Tried other Audis. Not overly bothered about the Vauxhalls either.
The one that has appealed the most is the Golf.

you could buy an mgf and eat diamonds and gold

Shaprie on form as usual.
Id say you could knock him down a peg or two. Its got a cracking spec which is why he asking for 12k but being on an 05 plate with 44k gives you amo to knock him down.

It would have to better than diamonds and gold to have an MGF. Hell, they would have to come on a monthly supply from the dealer.

Yeah, but all that money you save you would have to spend on people putting the rubber back on your wheels after they keep falling off :rolleyes:
-
LOL!! :grin:

if you drove your car more than the tesco run, you may find it ends up happening to you
-

"every little helps" ;)
each to their own, but the MG isn't my cuppa. Besides my dog would stupid(er) in a convertible (he's an oversized labrador! :grin: )

-
sounds a good spec
budget for remap, dv, cambelt and waterpump (and any other little extra), so an extra £1k to budget for too ;-)
-
I did ask this before......
Servicing then. On a 44K car, I'm guessing the cambelt will need doing?
Waterpump - just because the cambelt's being done?
DV - are these weak? I've only got experience of the Subaru (brick sh1thouse!) and Audi ones - never needed to change em
Remap - well, of course ;) but only once I've got Miltek sorted ;)
Dan :grin:
-
Servicing then. On a 44K car, I'm guessing the cambelt will need doing? - Cambelt is due at 4 years or 60,000 miles so on an 05 car it will be due anytime now, if not already.
Waterpump - just because the cambelt's being done? - Might aswell.
DV - are these weak? I've only got experience of the Subaru (brick sh1thouse!) and Audi ones - never needed to change em - The early models came with weak DVs so this 05 one will probably come with a B version (my 05 GTI had a B) which is weak and prone to popping after a remap. I went the Forge route and got one of theirs but the new G versions from VW are pretty solid.
-
Queried the dealer about the cambelt being due - here's his response....
"Cambelts are due at 80k on 2.0T so not been changed as not yet due."
So by this definition, the car won't need a cambelt change the entire time I own the car...
Sounds wrong to me.....
Hence my need to see what the VW service schedule is!
Dan :)
-
Iv got two letter from the dealer I bought the car from and the dealer I took to have it serviced stating its due at 4 years OR 60k. Sounds like your dealer is getting himself in a muddle as when they first came out it was 80k but revised down to 60k.

soz to thread jack but what year did they start putting the new d/v's in?
-
In the current market - I would say overpriced at that mileage - more like 11k max.
Nice spec though :angry:

And to add fuel to the fire I paid £8800 for a 2006/55 with 54k miles with exactly the same full specification, except mine has the 17" monzas
-
I'm actually thinking it's a bit over-priced tbh.
It's one of the list of cars I'm looking at though, so thanks for your help so far :)
