Auotrader, Piston heads, I went and looked at about 6 DSG when i was buying, and only found 1 good one below £11K, and the one I found had quite a few miles on, but got it for £8500.00 and was A1 condition. It's a 2005 3 door DSG, so there is good deals to be had.

Good Luck

That black gti looks fantastic. Looks like the ed30 body kit on it too, it may be my eyes but I don't think it has flappy paddles (nice to have on dsg) but not essentia, it was optional on early dsg'sl, it is however a bit pricey if you don't mind me saying, sure it's got low miles but is £14k and is a 2005! You could find a 2007/8 for that with good spec if you are patient. I'd want to check those wheels are oem too.... But only as you could be paying top dollar.

Just trying to help, good luck with your search.
