Is this worth it? - UPDATE- Car from Dubai
« on: 16 April 2009, 21:14 »
Hi all,

Just registered as I am in the market for a MK5 GTi and came across this awesome site.  :grin:

I know you probably get loads of these kinds of posts but could you give your opinion on this car?

http://www.desperateseller.co.uk/findacar/used-cars/Volkswagen/Golf.asp?vendor=115468&orderid=AETV92683495

After checking all the sites on the web for book prices (i.e. Parkers) they are advising prices way lower than what this is being sold for.

What do you reckon?

Cheers

Not bad, although I would push for around £13.5-14k

To be honest I'm not entirely sure.  From what I can tell they seem to be slightly higher here..

Looking on the VW Uk site it seems the average price for this kind of spec is £16-£16.5K?

nice car mate, but i reckon you could save yourself alot of cash if you look for a car mainland UK and ferry it over to Jersey, you would obviously have a better idea of costs to get it over there but im guessing its not going to be 2k which i suspect for a similar spec you could save over here!
