Where do YOU look for a second hand car?
« on: 14 September 2006, 08:42 »
Looking to buy a Mk5 GTI second hand towards end of the year :cool:.

Been keeping my eye on autotrader website to see what's about (not that much as it turns out) :sad:.

So, where else should I be looking?

Excellent!

Thanks very much.  This means I can spend even more of my time on the internet looking at cars :grin:.

Thanks for the offer, but looking to buy around early December really.  If it's not sold by late November-time, maybe you could let me have details about the spec?

Thanks again.

go look at volkswagen uk's website, lists every single gti for sale at each dealer. your local dealer will ship it in if your interested in it.

Sounds good - got my heart set on one with DSG though.  Also, really not in a position to buy for a good few weeks due to work commitments. :sad:
