MK4 To MK5
« on: 25 May 2010, 21:18 »
Just thought I would post a thread on my my GT TDi.

After owning a few MK4 Golf's & spending money on them to mod them I decided this time when I sold the Golf I would hold out for a standard GT TDi 140,

I looked at a few & even some 1.9 TDi sport's but none of them seemed right for me, Then one day I saw what looked to be a nice genuine example on Ebay, It was in Ilkeston in Derbyshire (About 80 miles from me)

I rang it up & made arrangements to go & see it the next day after I finished work. It took me about 2 hours or so to get there due to the rush hour traffic, Anyway when I got there I had a good look round it & took it for a test drive,

I found it hard to fault the car so when negotiation time came I couldnt really say too much negative about it but I started with a low offer & ended up paying £5900 for it.

The car is a 04 plate GT TDi, 2 previous owners (One being VW as it was a demo car), 92070 miles, Full service history (last done in November 2009 at 91500 miles, On the last service it had new discs & pads all round, 3 new Pirelli tyres, it also had its timing belt done at 81000 miles,

12 Months MOT, Taxed till end of October, All previous MOT Papers & tax discs.

The spec of the car is far better than my mk4 with, Auto light's, Auto wipers', Auto dim interior mirror, 16" Alloys,front arm rest with 6 disc cd changer, Overall im really happy with the car & how it drives.

Not had time to take my own pics yet so ill use the ones from the sale advert









The spending has started on it already

All the mk5 I have seen with the half black rear bumper have the front matching also one has rubbing strips, so I might be wrong but one bumper has been changed.

Looking at others then I would say they are both original bumpers

It's standard. Mine has the black rear valence but colour coded side mouldings and front.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3
