Thinking about upgrading my Gti to Mk5

Not even sure how much id get for it 2002 with 160k on the clock but the inside is like new and the outside is to.

I'm pretty sure you can get a MK5 GTi for around 3k? But not sure if this is worth while TBF. It might not feel like an upgrade!

you will 100% not get a mk5 GTI for 3k try 6k at the bare minimum! Id say yours would be worth around £2.5k just buy mine and be very happy with it :D

Capability wise the MK5 is superior to the MK4 in almost every way.
Faster, more refined, better to drive.

By far the biggest improvement is handling out of the box.
Plus I like floor mounted accelerator pedals.  :grin:
