Well, after going from wanting to purchase a Leon Cupra R, to a desire to buy an RX8, followed by a TT and then followed by a Copper S Works... I managed to find my way to the Golf GTi... and actually put a deposit down on second hand one today - hopefully collecting next Saturday.
Spec as below:
2005 Plate - May 05 first reg
One owner from new
26k on the clock
Full VW service
Tornado Red with:
*Leather
*6 CD Changer
*Sunroof
*Xenons
*Highline Computer
Car also has 19inch BBS CK Alloys fitted which did worry me a little before the test drive but whcih are actually OK and dont compromise the ride too bad. He also had painted the rear valance to matchthe body work which I think improves the aesthetics a little bit!
Got it for £15,000 (from a private seller) which seems pretty reasonable considering retail with these options it would be £24.3k
Have to say, both Golfs I drove were a little "tappety" at idle which would have worried me a little before reading on this site that this is the norm!
Looking forward to owning it in the long term.
