well i can say i've grabbed myself a mk5 GTI and i'm not disappointed yet...not too specc'd but i wanted something to tweak anyway...

Shady have a look at some of the older 05/06 plates and you'll get under 13k from a dealership with ease...i did and i got a cracking px on my CTR :wink: 

The dealerships were difficult to get hold of the GTI's though and i travelled to the car as they couldn't get across to their partner dealership as people were already wanting to view.

Loving every single minute of my GTI - done nearly 1000 miles in just over a week of ownership and its a joy! Got an absolute bargain that makes me smile even more seeing how tough it seems to get hold of one now.

I have seen more bargains falling on to Autotrader though... definitely a few about if you look hard enough!

Good price for a lot of car ahead of the CTR.  Don't they just feel more solid?? :cool:

After thinking about it, it makes much more sense for me to go for a normal GTI instead of an ED30, I don't need one anyway lol! Looking at 2005/2006 GTIs, prices around £9K on Autotrader with some good specs as well! Mileage are random but most I looked at are about 30 - 40K.


Looks like I'll be going for a normal one then, now to decide on which colour, most likely black.

shady if you can get a dsg box...and go for leather if you see it...the bolster on the mk5 i reckon will be worn by around 70,000 as they are such a snug fit, my father-in-law to be can only just sit comfortably :grin:

Save some pennies for the BBS, chip, coilovers, and paint the sill's etc and what are you missing from the ED30 :smiley:

And if you do let us know what you get :smiley:
