Title: How much should i pay? V5 golf
Post by: billy_vw on 06 February 2008, 17:02: Im looking to purchase a 1999/V V5, 5 door silver, Full black recaro leather & winter pack.
Hass 100k with history. 6 months T&T.

What should i pay?

Post by: Ridg on 06 February 2008, 18:04: between Ã‚£2500 and Ã‚£3500 depending on the condition

no offence but why would you want to buy a V5 MK4 when you can get a 1.8T for the same money or a TDI 150 both being superior to the V5

is the V6 out of your budget?

Post by: AlanD on 06 February 2008, 18:53: Well said Ridge, stole my words. Dont bother with a V5. Get a 1.8T or V6.

Post by: billy_vw on 06 February 2008, 19:04: hopefully agreed a price of Ã‚£2700

Also its the full leather i like.....

you would be looking at probably double that for a TDI

what about the V6 or 1.8T?

leather is the future!

Is it me or do 2-4 on the heating control of the seats do nothing?

V5 will drink....prepare to spend some time at the petrol station if you have a right foot made of lead.

Ã‚£65 for around 220 miles on my V6
(98/99 RON @ london prices!!)

Bring on the derv...

On a more seriuse note. Get the 1.8T lol.

Len, you are wrong
I had a V5 Bora & i can not remember putting it up against you 16v :undecided:

You are right about 1 thing, I have had my fair share of VW's and probably not keep this v5 golf for long
But while it is in my ownership, i will enjoy every penny i spend on fuel and driving yet another fine VW motor :wink:
