Selling GTi performance offers welcomed
« on: 28 May 2026, 01:01 »
Sadly it’s time for my much loved Indium Grey Golf GTi performance to go. Registered Sept 2019 with under £25k miles. On Autotrader for £23’195 and amazing condition with unmarked Brescia alloys. msg if anyone is interested as I’d love a member on here to be the next owner. Any questions PM me, and thanks for looking.

It might be useful to forum members - and increase the chances of selling to a forum member - if you included a link to your sales ad on Autotrader, which presumably includes more information and pictures of your car.

Good luck with the sale :smiley:.

I’m guessing it’s this one?

I don’t understand why people blank out reg numbers, looks dodgy and it’s the first thing I’d ask for if enquiring about the vehicle.

It’s a potential car cloning thing. I dare say where a seller has blanked out the reg number of a car they’re selling, if a genuine prospective buyer asks for it then as seller will provide it - or provide the documented history of the car.

Good guess, and yes cloning happens, sure, but that fact that seller would give out the reg, makes it entirely pointless excercise.

Yes it was just to protect the reg being cloned, car sold after only 1 day on autotrader. Thanks for the input and advice from all members here and great information
