Low miles - high specification - Good price.

You get to choose no more than 2 of the above when looking for a mk7 CS !? :)

From the very limited detail given in the ad, this looks fair for the mileage?

That's sat at Halliwell Jones (BMW & Mini North West Main Dealer group) p/x outlet. So it would have been taken in p/x against a BMW/Mini, and will probably be sold with limited prep/warranty etc. Do some thorough checking before buying as this won't be a normal used car dealer sale.

Unlike #315 from Exeter VW which is supposedly

 an approved used car.

Check out the MOT done today, namely one of the advisories -

Nearside Road wheel slightly distorted (5.2.2 (c)(i))

And slightly less concerning -

Sound deadening material not fully secure under bonnet (8.1.1(b)(i))

But paintwork to the passenger door and wing, and now damage to the rear wheel??

Cant comment on the PP but ended up in a CS about a year ago.Budget would have allowed CSS but needed 5 drs and dsg.Ended up with white with leather and 19s.Its a great car really special looking and drives brilliantly.Of course it changed a bit!Hated the ride on 19s so 18 Belevederes.Put Ohlins coilovers on with some CSS suspension bits.BCS exhaust and MST induction (sounds like it should have ).Leather never suited it for me...just looked wrong and recently got a full CS recaro interior...wallet vandalised!oh and eurocode braces front and rear....finished honest!Driving it now cant think of another car I would rather have....its brilliant!!

PP refers to an option on the MK7 called the Performance Pack, on the MK7.5 such equipped cars are just a 'P'. It consisted of improved brakes, the improved diff (like an lsd) and a little more power. TCR refers to a racing series, Touring Car Racing. The Golf GTI TCR was a MK7.5 special edition, not limited by numbers, which had a detuned R engine at 290PS plus various styling and suspension tweaks :smiley:
