Yeh I think you can get a decent mk6 gti for £9.5k and the interior is a big step up from a mk5 gti

I was actually looking at a mk5 gti but when I saw a mk6 gti I had to get it. It meant I had to increase my budget but it was the right choice and I'm happy I spent that bit more for the newer gti

Yup, I think it'll have to be, fallen in love with it a little bit! Trying to find one at a dealership near me! Everything is 100+ miles away, bit of a pain when I want to test one.

Huh, the next thing they'll be using bulldogs as police dogs!
Audi S1 gone, awaiting 1.5tsi r-line, pan roof, led lights front and rear, active dash, 18" jurva alloys and a dealer fitted Oettinger roof spoiler in tornado red.

The standard wheels were probably kerbed beyond repair. The dealer would have fitted the set of Mk7 reps as the cheaper option. Also it looks like he's fitted an aftermarket radio to fill the gap in the dash left by plods gadgets.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

There's a White MK6 Golf GTi that's an unmarked police car used here in Norwich. I've driven past it a few times & had to do a double take as I thought I was imagining it at first.

The car you've linked to does look tidy, but it's probably not had an easy life at all, so possibly best to wait for another one to come along as others have suggested.

As for distance, I traveled 100+ miles to get mine & had to drive it out of London (something I've never done before), so try not to be put off by distance. If it's the right one, distance shouldn't matter, and if you speak to most dealers, they are sometimes happy to cover costs, one was even prepared to cover my travel, hotel & show me around the city. I was very impressed with the service I received from the London dealers & I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again. Next time I'm hoping I'll be shopping for an R. :laugh:

Best of luck in your search bud!

It's not impossible that they'd use a 3 door though, there were some escort cosworth panda cars and I've seen a mk2 focus rs police car pull someone up in Yorkshire.

That's interesting to know. I had a white GTi trying to provoke me into a race recently.....

Given some of the replies here, I'm going to pass up on this one I reckon. I'll keep an eye out, but I've seen a few nice Ed30 MkV's around for around the same price, will probably get myself one of those.
