bit help from u mk5 boys

[leeroy20vt]

going to possible look at a 05 plate mk5 gti on Saturday need a bit of advice please

its done 79 k silver with leather interior looks quite clean in the pics and the guy seems really genuine and said the car is faultless and drives really nice

its up for 5k no offers but there isnt a full service as his mate has done it for him last couple of times also hes not sure if a cam belt has been done

what would u do

do u think its worth the money

and what do i look out for in these done a quick search on this but couldnt find much

cheers for the help

if the belt hasnt been changed its over due if the car is coming on 7year old think they might be 80k on the mk5 but unsure an 5k sounds ok if its a good 1
