Interested in buying a Mk7.5 Gti PP.

[clubsport]

I could push to 25k. I would rather not though.

That Isaac blue car is nice, he tells me he’s been offered 25k by a dealer (surely he would have sold it???)

Well spec’d cars in the right colour are thin on the ground.

This is always the case, it doesn't quite ring true why he has not sold @ £25k, but then the £27k asking is odd?

 I have had GTi's for years as the runaround alongside sillier cars, when my current car came up I jumped from my, then current GTi as this was the exact spec I wanted and literally unobtainium at the price.

The reason i say that, is that I knew exactly what I wanted and still see no reason to chnage.....

You seem more open to other options than a Golf GTi for your next car ( a good thing!), the point is unless you have found your unicorn there is no point paying up for it, if you are not sure it is exactly what you want.

Quite honestly the 5 door dsg PP you posted, could literally be the only and last ICE car you may ever need, that may not be the case for you.

Have you test driven one yet?

Are you selling then?

BTW I put the Isaac blue car through WBAC, it came back just over 21k.

… no I haven’t driven a Mk7, there’s no doubt that I’ll like them though.

There are very few cars available to look at, and I don’t want to waste anybody's time test driving a car that isn’t at a spec I want to buy.

Most are poverty spec

Only if I find an equal spec Clubsport or TCR, I'm in no rush I know it will take me 2-3 years to find it.

Depending on usage a GTD could be all you need if you haven't test driven a mk7 yet. I loved my old one and would happily move back into it again, although 70bhp less power it still felt quick with the torque of the diesel.

Is this post turning into  ‘webuyanycar.com’?

[Legacywr]

Ha, no, but it’s become the benchmark for car values.

Also, I don’t buy diesel cars.

WBAC in my experience offer poor desktop valuations and even poorer offers once they have nitpicked over your pride and joy.
Avoid!
Motorway are better, Arnold Clark too.
But the best recent valuation I got was Cazoo. 2K better than Cinch.
Shame I’m not selling.

Remember a dealer will put a min £2k on a buy in to cover profit and problems plus, in the case of a “VW Approved Used Car” at least a full check, service and MOT if necessary and at least one year’s VW Warranty and often VW Breakdown. And a 14 day return option.

These dealer benefits are important when buying anything more than 30 months old.

So, valuations and values are all very well but are you comparing apples with apples???

Caveat Emptor.

Still struggling, I may need to up my budget, but then I’m also well into Clubsport 40 money…

I recall you were looking for a Dsg car?

The mk7 Ed40 has the 6 speed box where as the 7.5 PP Dsg comes with the better 7 speed.
If you want the better (more poweerful) engine with the larger turbo & later Dsg box you are really looking for a TCR?

There goes the budget!
