Title: Imported GT TDI
Post by: Dubbz on 22 March 2007, 11:47
Hello all.
I'm in the market for a new motor  :smug: a Golf TDI, however i've seen a GT TDI in auto/tiptronic.
After speaking to the seller he said, he believe's it was imported from Germany.  :undecided:
Is there any major difference in buying an import, anything i should know about?
The first thing i did notice about it was it doen't have a center arm rest at the front  :sad: what about the a/c? it has climate control, is that the same as a/c? i'm sure i've seen uk spec cars with both? or am i dreaming this?
Any help would be great in deciding to buy or not.
the details are:
2003 03 reg
1.9 GT TDI auto/tiptronic
5 door
82k miles
silver
2 owners
Sports Cloth Trim. ABS, Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Air conditioning, Alloy wheels, Central locking, Climate Control, Computer, Driver airbag, Electric mirrors, Electric windows, Foglights, Folding rear seats, Immobiliser, Passenger airbag, Power assisted steering, Rear armrest, Remote locking, Side airbags, Rear headrests, Sports seats, Traction control, Full service history. Alpine Radio/CD Excellent condition, HPI clear with confirmation.
£7995.

Give just under 7k nearly a year ago for my 03 130 and it had done 65k, its an import and came with-winter pack, climate/ac 3 rear headrests etc. Looked at the time for a golf with these toys on em and couldn`t find any close to the price I gave for mine.
Only thing with an import is it don`t come up on vw (or somert like that) took the logbook into the stealers and they sorted it out for me

Cheer's for the quick replies  :wink:
So is the a/c on the climate control, or is it a sperate switch?  :undecided:
oh and have yours got cd multi changer? this one just got an alpine radio/cd headunit.
are yours manual?
i like it alot, but, not too sure wether to buy  :undecided: as when i put the reg number in confused it cam up as tdi 100bhp se manual  :shocked: unless thats cos its imported.
its on auto trader if that may help.

Thanks again

I see its advertised as a 130 and if the boot sticker says '96' then it will be. It does have climate control which does have air conditioning, mine has manual a/c which just has a switch on the dash marked a/c next to the recirculate button.

I notice it doesn't have the 3 spoke leather wheel that UK spec GT TDis have.

I thought the steering wheel looked the same?  :huh:
the alloy wheel's look different  :undecided: shame it dont have a cd multi changer, and center arm rest  :shocked:
As it's done 82k that sound's like its due a service? is that right?  :sick:
So tempted but not at that price.  :undecided:

Ello L8  :wink:
Oh you got your motor from auto base? did they give you a good deal? how much did you get them to knock off the price?
I still aint decided what to do.lol  :undecided: if they'll come down on the price then i may do a deal, shame it aint got all the bits a uk spec would have.

Hi Dubbz sorry for the delay in reply work and all that. no not a good deal really only give me £2000 for my y 2001 plate vectra 150 only done 40000. but the centre consol in the golf had nail varnish on it and the ash tray was full of the stuff women i ask you so knocked £200 off the price mind cost me £100 to put right.
ps the steering wheel on that is the same one as mine and thats the right one for that model. flash the cash in his face he might change is mind on the price. :smiley:

Just had another look at the dealers website, I looked at the blue Golf they had (even though you said it was silver :laugh:) So correction, it does have the correct steering wheel.

Alloys are wrong though, they are from an earlier Golf, they are Montreal 1's up to around 2000/2001. Look good though. Standard spec for a TDI 130 of this age would be Avus 2's 15", which are not so nice.

Hi peep's,
Well he rang me back yesterday and said the car owes them 7700, offered me 500 for my Mk2 golf 1.8 driver 103k on the clock  :rolleyes: so taking it to 7200 still to much i reckon!! So i said 6900 as it dont have full vwfsh.  :undecided: sounded like every other service was at VW.
He never got back to me as of today  :angry:
7000 'g' sounds alot to me, unless he gives 12 month warranty 12 month tax and 12 month mot the we may do a deal  :evil:
How far are you from them L8? i'm nearly 100miles from them one way  :shocked:

Thanks for the extra info to Mantamad.
