whats high mileage?

[LaserBlue]

whats your mileage>?

mines a 55 plate and has just under 16k

ive seen a few dsg GTIs with 30k on the clock that are very tasty but ive never got a car with over 20k

lower mileage will have better resale value?

show less signs of wear and tear?

06 plate and up GTIs have updated things to them?

Average miles per year is around 15k miles nowadays so work it out on that.

Lower mileage cars can be worth a little more but when its too low you wont get that much more if you know what I mean.  When I was buying the 25th Anniversary I paid just under £9k for a 5 year old car with 58k on it which I though was pretty good (being a TDI), one guy had one for sale for £11k because it only had 36k miles - basically he was dreaming as it didnt make the car worth that much more.

I used to have some high mileage company cars and if maintained well they can be just as if not more reliable than lower mileage cars.

i guess if a person is gonna keep there car long term then it would be better to get as low as possible.

i change my car every year as i still aint found something that i really really want
(06,gti,red,dsg,xenon,sunroof )

It is easy to rack up the miles in the Mk5, I just prefer using it and they soon add up!

Laser, you on the look out for the "perfect GTi", i ended up with a red one!  , we both started with a laserblue one!.
Keep your cash in your pocket untill you find what your looking for.

ooh yeh phill you had a laser blue aswell didnt ya

to be honest the my opinion the gti looks best in red 3/5 door or white 3 door

black silver grey navy are all good, the laser blue color is cool as its rare aswell

but would love a red dsg with xenon then id be a happy chappy

Do you just look at your car and clean it?? lol...no driving??

Glad mines a lease car. Done 35k in 9 months. Should be a good buy for someone when the company get rid at 70k. Alot of motorway mileage with relatively little spirited driving compared to total mileage, plus virtually no short journeys.
