yesterday i continued my hunt for a GTi, i went to look at a car at a local garage not to far from me, 2007, 57 reg, metallic black, 5 door, 18" monzas, 78000 miles, full service history. now the history seemed a bit odd, its first 2 services were done at a VW specialist (ivc) in leeds, then the next 3 were done with VW dealers in leeds, last serviced by VW at 76 000 miles, i find it strange it wasnt serviced with vw from new, can anyone shed any light on that for me?? also if i asked VW about the service history, would they tell me if they recommended the cam belt neeed to be done but the owner declined. Audi told me something along those lines when i checked my current cars history.
i asked about the cam belt, he said they arent due til 100 000 miles(i think thats what he said), he said its in the manual. so anyway, the cam belt hasnt been done, i am a bit cautious of taking things further with this car as the cam belt not been done, should i walk away and forget it??
it has a couple of little imperfections, but nothing that cant be sorted out, interior is in excellent condition, front alloys are slightly scuffed, with near new continental tyres all round. also its a 1 previous owner car, and is advertised at £8,495, does that seem too cheap?
?
