Found this ad on pistonheads , £8500 for a 2007 GTI with 21,000 and full service history, something not right i think!

"Buy`it now : 8,500 GBP"
reaks of scam
-
Looks like a scam alright. Those pictures were clearly taken in the summer for a start. Borrowed perhaps ...
-
1 owner, yet he doesn't mention it has a DSG box or xenon headlights aswell? :rolleyes:
I'll have 2 at that price please :smiley:
-
plus it looks like and import. UK spec cars dont's have electric seats. Plus the wheels looks like 17 not 18 but that might be due to the crap quality of the photos.

Looks like a scam to me.

might send him an email to see what he says haha

If you want someone to go and have a look at it for you :wink: :grin:

Mine has electric lumbar support, does that make it an import? :huh:

Do all GTIs have rear armrests? Or was it an option. Noticed in one of the pics that it has rear armrest.
Could be an import that is not 100% UK spec. That is probably why dealers value all imports much lower :sad:
-
Just looked at mine and it has rear armrest.
It was standard from Jan 2006 according to Parker's. You know something, I've never actually used it! Forgot that it was there!
Mine only has a tab to pull it down whereas the one in the picture has a whole strap thing.
-
Mine is an 05 plate (MY04) and has the rear armrest - I have leather don't know if that makes any difference?
Electric lumbar was standard but as pointed out the full electric control wasn't available on UK cars.
-
Looking at the Parker's spec of the GTI shows that electric lumbar only came with the leather seats.

Don't 07 model year Golfs have silver buttons for "all" the stereo controls? Not just the volume and tuning knobs.
-
yes they do have all silver buttons.

Cheers for the link, I've now learnt (and found) that I've got lumbar support and headlight washers :)

They do look like 17s and 18s and the qulaity of the pictures is awful which implies he hasnt take them.
Looks VERY dodgy, Id stay clear if I was you and look elsewhere. The famous old saying, if it looks too good to be true then it probably is.

Absolutley, the drivers bolster looks a pushed down (indicating much wear) compared to mine, very doubtful for 21,000 miles
It's hard to see how they'd benefit from this scam, unless it's a front for steal to order?
-
Looking for depsoits to secure the car i would imagine.
:sad:
-
Sight unseen, yes I can imagine that, when I was hunting around for mine some people had made phone deposits to secure the car.
-
I think the wheels might be 18's, they look bigger than 17's, but they are probably replicas or they have done a Red Robin and made them silver due to white worm.
