I'll be vising UK on July 7th, I am searching for mk6 GTD used car.

Kindly guide me as I am not quite familiar where to buy such car, I prefer to buy from an owner since it might be cheaper!

Thanks in advance.

Also Pistonheads Classified (http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/golf-mk5-mk6)

My advice would be to check these links provided to you above a few days prior to your visit to the UK and make a short list of those you like the look of (depending on where you'll be staying in the UK) It's a very time consuming activity looking for a suitable car and could involve many days of traveling around.

Will you be staying in the UK for long or will you export the GTD to Malta??

Another option is to put your trust in a suitable trader over here to find and supply you with a car to your spec on your arrival...
Someone like Andy Chapple at Volkswizard (http://www.volkswizard.co.uk/) might be worth contacting, he's very reliable and a nice guy with a wealth of information on VW group vehicles.

Buying privately [from owner] might be a bit cheaper but you don't get the sort of protection you'd get from a main dealer. I bought a 56 plate Fox last year as a runabout/shopper and got 12 months warranty, 12 months tax, fully serviced [brake fliud change and all filters etc] 12 months MOT and 12 months roadside assistance with it. OK, it cost more than a private buy but it's worth it for peace of mind and when you add in all the above it probably works out cheaper in the long run.
Having said that, as you're taking it to Malta not sure how that would pan out re warranty etc.

Dear all,

Thanks for suggesting these dealers for me!

One other question, Any one knows what is the particulate matter (PM Level) of a GTD Golf mk6?
The company in which I have to pay the registration fee while I am entering in Malta said that this is not a euro 5 but more likely to be euro 4 since the c02 is 139, however they are not sure about it & they told me to check on the logbook of such car. Can any one help me out here please.
