Does this car look 'dodgy'?

Second car down obviously.

Why so cheap do you think? Unregistered, with 0 miles and has a fairly good spec? Would it be an import possibly?

Obviously I will ring the dealer but initial thoughts??

I would say not a bad spec for the price.

Definatley an import though, leather with red stitching and electric seats, both thinks not available in UK.

as above, import, and price is about what they get for them as imports, although at motorpoint you can get ed30's for same price

Thanks guys. I think I will steer clear. Motorpoint ones are all manual as well and I NEED DSG!

Been on pistonheads for a while - knock them down a bit, could get yourself a bargain import or not.

Man, I am wondering why electric seats were not an option in the UK. I ould have loved to have that on my car. Also the red stitching looks amazing!

The stitching does look rather nice doesn't it!

Are imports covered by VW Manufacturers Warranty? What is the upshot of owning an import, is there anything to be aware of. If not I assume the only thing detrimental would be lower residual value/harder to sell??

Forget that, I used the Search button like i'm supposed to and there's a wealth of info.

Was just thinking the same!!! Adds a bit of character and makes the GTI leather interior different to any other Golf with leather. UK get shafted as usual. I also like the look of those electric seats  :angry:
