Age Of You MK6 Owners?
« on: 20 October 2009, 16:51 »
Hey Guys, Ive been nosing on the forums for a while now but i thaught it was about time i posted sumit and start asking you guys some questions. Im gunna be 21 in December and im seriously considering getting myself a mk6 GTI, ive looked at the mk5's and they just seem so dated after looking at the mk6's :huh: So im quite prepared to go all out on a Mk6 if i can find the ideal car at the the right price! :smiley:

I was just wondering how old you guys who already own a mk6 are and if theres anybody my kinda age thats got one already? If so what kinda price are you paying for insurance & how much did the car cost you? also it would be nice to know how you guys (all ages) are paying for your mk6's, outright/monthly, if monthly how much are your payments each month?

Sorry if im being a little nosey for my 1st post, i dont mean to be im just curious lol

I hope nobody has already posted this same kinda question, please dont kill me if they have  :embarassed:

Im sure i will end up asking you guys a fair few more questions before i get one too so i hope you dont mind helping me out.

Cheers guys,

Dave

If you`ve got the money do it,as for insurance there was a topic posted by someone younger than you asking about insurance,if you can find it it would probably be worthwhile reading that,just ignore the arguments  :grin:

Thats what makes me want one, the only thing stopping me is if i ever wanted to buy a house! But then i wouldnt be able to afford a GTI so ive gotta go for it while ive got the chance!


By the way VWKev ive seen the pics of your car in the thread you posted, looks beautiful!! How do you get on keeping her clean?

I was 21 when I got my first GTI in 1989 - if you can afford it, do it. It can always be sold if you want to buy a house.

Buy the house first,the house will make you money in the long run.There will be plenty of time for a new gti or the next new car to hit the roads,sounds old and boring i know   :nerd: :nerd:
