Golf GTi PP
« on: 14 November 2017, 20:17 »
Not often you get a bargain these days but picked up 3 door PP GTi for £20k on 17 plates with only 1500 miles. The guy I bought it from said it was Cat D but I'm not too bothered about the exhaust emissions. I asked him if was to do with the scandal on the diesel issues but he didn't know?

You do what Cat D means?  :rolleyes:
Means it’s been crashed and repaired, or stolen recovered.

Not a bargain if it's been repaired by a monkey  :whistle:

Gumtree, I'll have a look & see if it's still there, I saved no links etc. no, I didn't do hpi check? Eyes lit up when I saw it but I guess that was just the sellers.
