Right, i've got the finance, budget of £12k for a mk5 3dr gti, preferably in reflex silver, under 40k. If anybody hears or sees anything let me know!

Silly Q, but have you looked on the volkswagen database?

Go to www.volkswagen.co.uk  , click on used car, enter your search preferences.

I found 8 matches of reflex silver 3dr (mixed manual and dsg) and there's more choice if you look at steel grey (IMO nicer than reflex silver).

So what's wrong with the one in Newport?
2006 (56-plate) Golf GTI (completely stock)
Under 20k miles
6-speed Manual gearbox
Reflex Silver
£13,495 - a lil over your budget but you should be able to haggle them down.

Spotted it, very nice too, and bang on what i'm looking for. Called him up today, wouldn't budge on 13.5, told him about one in huddersfield (a year older) that's 11.5 ish, still wouldnt have it. He's supposed to be calling me back with a part ex price on our lupo....
