Too Cheap (Something not right)
« on: 15 January 2010, 18:48 »
Found this ad on pistonheads , £8500 for a 2007 GTI with 21,000 and full service history, something not right i think!

Looks like a scam alright.  Those pictures were clearly taken in the summer for a start.  Borrowed perhaps ...

plus it looks like and import. UK spec cars dont's have electric seats. Plus the wheels looks like 17 not 18 but that might be due to the crap quality of the photos.

Mine has electric lumbar support, does that make it an import?  :huh:

Do all GTIs have rear armrests?  Or was it an option.  Noticed in one of the pics that it has rear armrest.

Could be an import that is not 100% UK spec.  That is probably why dealers value all imports much lower  :sad:
