Hi, am looking advice from your good selves on buying an 07 GTI. Its for sale at £7k, but has 99k miles.
I currently drive a Beemer 330d with over 150k on the clock, but its the miles on the GTI that concern me. Is that too high a mileage to be considering? Its different with diesels because theyre more built for it in a way.
Any views or verdicts please?
Cheers, Jeff.

A BMW diesel is in a different league to a petrol VW, a petrol VW engine, and gearbox with 100k on it, is a potential liability...
personally, I would look for a Golf with half the mileage, for a little more money, rather than risk that extra price difference money on repairs that may crop up!

I wouldn't say half the milage is a little more money.

80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.
