GTi Turbo
« on: 07 September 2008, 22:02 »

There's a Gti turbo for sale down the road from me, it's an 03' plate 5dr 190bhp he says it hasn't been chipped it's standard 190bhp, heated cloth interior, multi function steering wheel, 6speed, the draw back is tax is nearly out, it has a cracked windscreen and it's done just over 160K miles, it is advertised for £3500 o.n.o, when i rang him he said he has another car hence this for sale said he will accept £2500, is this a good price?

I'm not interested personally as i vowed never go back to petrol, but i know my mate might be interested.

They never did one with 190bhp as standard, it's been re-mapped :)

sounds dodgy to me mate - willing to knock off 1K just like that!!??

keep the 150 you crazy man  :tongue:

it will be 180bhp NOT 190bhp - later AUQ engine from the Anni was fitted to the later GTI's

For once I got in there first.  Despite your much more comprehensive response.  What I expect from a mod though  :cool:

Sounds dodgy to me no way would you knock a grand of the price without someone even looking at it?  :huh:

Cheers for the replies, didn't think they done a 190 when i asked if it was remapped he said no, he said he has another car and the tax is out soon thats why he needs a quick sale.

Still not for me anyway

Cheers guys

If that was the case you would just get it Sorn and make an extra grand?

That was my first thought, but then i thought maybe he hasn't a drive / garage?
