Interested in buying a Mk7.5 Gti PP.

How annoying, I suppose £500 is a start?

A curious tale, check the car over thoroughly in case one of the apprentices has taken it to the Nurburgring for the weekend and it has gone through Flugplatz on it's roof?

Maybe as I get older I'm being more cynical but I that seems a fishy excuse.
If you do go back to look at the car and your up for buying I would defo haggle for more than £500 if they were happy to offer that straight away.

Sounds dubious to me too. At my VW dealer they have a man in a van do the wheel refurbs onsite.

That sounds a lot more concerning to me.

My local takes the car to their own bodyshop (2 miles away), while another takes it to an external bodyshop. While many other dealerships send sets of wheels or take cars down to the refurbisher I use.

For £500 off to start and knowing all wheels should be 100% sounds good enough, take a torch and shine it on the alloys and if one has little scratching to the gloss black you'll know if they were telling the truth or not simple.

Is this White Silver?

Looks like Candy White (or the more recent name) to me? Looks like same colour as the wife’s Polo (when it’s clean).

Good, as I don’t like it

Looks ok on a Polo, not do sure on a GTI and it’s a pig to keep clean.

I found white silver extreme easy to keep clean, much more forgiving than any other colours I've had and that was with a 250-350 a week commute and on building sites.

Mudflaps keep things much cleaner.

Legacywr, if you are unsure about white silver & it is a dealbreaker. I would look on Autotrader for white VW's for sale and try to find one specifally in WS at a dealership nearer to you, rather than travelling up to London.

It is a marmite colour and rare on a GTi, I have seen a couple of WS 7.5 GTi's over the years and a few more R.
One good thing is exclusivity, I doubt you would ever park next to another WS 7.5 GTi with a pan roof & 19" Santiagos, even at GTi international?
