Right - Alot more than i wanted to spend,
But
I have chance of buying a 1 owner mk5 GTi
Pluses are:
1 owner from new
FSH & all receipts from new
200 bhp ( :evil: standard so far)
Full leather - heated fronts
Winter pack
Luxury pack
Negs to me any way - it's RED and highish miles
Any advice on buying 1 of these would be much appreciated
Thanks in Advance

I'm looking for one too, but, I've said it before and I'll say it again (after they went pink) NO MORE red cars! :grin:

Leave me alone, ive not bought it yet :grin:

im sure some of them are still awaitng their recalls.
Probably worth waiting for the new reg to come out. Prices drop

This one has been re-called on coil packs (if that's what you mean)

Check if the steering rack has been replaced too; should have been done under warranty if it was a creaky one
-
Check the front wheel arches for corrosion - caused by the plastic wheelarch liner rubbing against the inner surface of the wheelarch flange.
Some owners who've experienced this have had problems getting it fixed under the corrosion warranty; VW have cited this as a mechanical problem(!) :shocked: - link to threads in the mk5 section with pictures of the problem below.

Not worth much more with those miles tbh. :smiley:

What a bargain :cool:
Have to say it again 5 grand!

that is a very competitive price considering it has leathers and such.. mileage is high which has affected the price.. but hey who cares about miles

you sad f**k*r :grin:

Yes - high MOTORWAY miles
But full & i mean FULL service history with 1 owner
The guy sometimes does 350 miles a day with work, but with fuel prices hes just bought a mk6 GTD
The car is very high spec, drives like a dream
& if it had average mileage like 50-60k with the spec would be around £8.5k
Personally , Id rather keep £3k in my bank and enjoy a well maintained car with a few more miles.
It will keep me happy for a while,
Well it has got tax til March next year :smiley:

Good find.
But I don't know how getting £5400 for a car and spending £25,000 or so on a MK6 GTD is financially any better than the fuel prices

Hopefully this is one of the good ones,
But with 115k, at least it has been motoring and not in & out of a garage breaking down.
Picking it up 2nite :drool:
