Title: MK6 Wanted! 5 weeks in to search I need all the help I can get!
Post by: DMcG on 23 August 2012, 14:01
Hi All,

After selling my R32 and taking 6 weeks to find a near perfect carbon grey GTi it has unfortunately been written off.

I have so far been searching 5 weeks for its replacement and so far had no luck, and beginning to think it doesn't exist!

I basically want a 5 dr manual GTi, Monza's are a must as is MDI and I would prefer the front and rear factory park as my last one had it but I accept not many have this. Anything over and above is a bonus though I would like LED rears but I know I can retrofit if necessary.

Colour wise I would consider most colours except black and I am a little undecided on white but need to see a nice one in the flesh.

Budget is around £18k and I would like under 30k miles and around a 10 plate I suppose.

So being plate change time I am hoping some of you can give me a heads up if trading in etc or selling up.

Thanks for the help.

Most are DSG though and the top a 3dr although it has got lots of toys and is close to me.  Been to look at several but a couple had paint repaires that where shoddy, others has so much marring and swirls on the paint they mjust have been washed with sandpaper!

Saw this one:

But it has already had two owners which puts me off a bit. Its also on long life servcing which I don't want but could change. Any one know of a way of telling if a car was a demo?

How important are 5 doors? There's a 3 door 10 plate in white with good spec under the classifieds section of this forum - link;

Looks really nice and has pretty much what you're looking for, spec-wise, plus the added bonus of xenons and a sunroof. The mileage and price fit your criteria too.

Looked at that but going to need 5 doors and think I'd regret it if I didn't get them this time.
