Title: Newbie wanting to join the club!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: pitman4u on 24 May 2008, 20:24: hi all, i need help!!!!!!! like many ppl ive been lurking in the background for a while reading posts etc!! absolute top forum by the way, and it has made my decision to buy a golf gti so much easier!!! ive been looking for a few weeks for the car i want, with the spec i want,within my price range. i was goin to just post on the "wanted" forum but i thought id introduce myself and that this would be a better channel for me to widen the net!!! anyway im after a grey or white mk5 gti 3dr. ive decided on those colours only!! 1st choice probs grey :tongue: manual,preferably leather interior,preferably 18"monzas. less than 30000 miles and under Ã‚£15000. im in the north east area but i will travel to view the right car!!! so if any1 comes across such a car im interested!! obviously im checking autotrader/pistonheads etc daily but nothing solid as of yet.....................!! any help appreciated!!!

You will love the GTI, I'm sure. I traded in an Audi S4 for mine!

Look forward to seeing some pics of yours when you get sorted. :smiley:

Just remember steel grey made your mind up to get an ED30 :laugh:

Good luck finding the car you want. Not sure if your price is a tiny bit under for a car like you want - I thought most the 3year old GTI's under 15k miles tended to have a few more miles on than that

Post by: AlanD on 25 May 2008, 11:49: For your information I bought mine for Ã‚£14,500 (was up for Ã‚£15,000) from a dealer. 05 plate with 6 CD changer, sunroof and winter pack as the only options (so no xenon's or 18''s). Yes, you pay a little more when buying from a dealer so you might be lucky finding a private one with the extra options you want.

Happy hunting !

Post by: pitman4u on 25 May 2008, 13:27: thanks for the comments guys,hopefully within the next month or so ill be a fully fledged member!! :smiley: i went to view a grey gti at a garage yesterday for Ã‚£14659.had 19900 miles dsg not leather with 18" monzas.however the monzas were very badly scuffed and all needed repairing which made me think twice.also im unsure i could get used to the dsg aswell!!! although i have heard nothing but good comments about it! i also saw a white one that was a little out of my price range,but seeing this colour in the flesh looks amazing! im torn!!! anyway the search continues.

watch this space.......................................... :grin:
