It does seem a little on the cheap side, but its not crazy cheap if you know what I mean.  Could just be a motivated seller ... do the usual HPI checks and stay on your toes.  Proceed with a little caution I'd say  :smiley:

Price and car look reasonable to me. What would put me off is that it looks like it's the bog standard model with no nice extras. I'd look out for one with a few choice options which shouldn't cost much more.

I'd not buy a car without the centre armrest and highline computer, and I'd look for things like Xenons and cruise control. IMO these things turn the car from a Hot Hatch to a Luxury car.

Full Service history, a quick HPI and you can be happy with that. :afro:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Same as the other members posts! make sure and HPI the car before hand, seems a very reasonable price for the milage!

I bought mine this time last year, 56 plate, 32k leather armrest cruise etc £13750. :smiley:

Look like a good buy . Black is a nightmare to keep clean (I have one, constantly washing it) looks well when its washed and polished. Enjoy.
