I was thinking of a mk4 GTI for ages but i came across the 2.0 gt fsi and i became quite drawn to it. If you mean get a mk5 gti then basically i would love to but i cant afford it to be honest, its well out of my budget, however they are very tempting especially when 5 or 6 of them are lined up in different colours staring at you (you have to see it to understand my rambling).

I am not sure what sort of money you can pick up a MK5 GT FSI for to be honest but I hope it all goes well for you. Just keep an aye on GTI prices just in case. Buyers market at the moment and I am sure lots of bargining to be done on any sale  :smiley:

Anil,

Why have you got your heart set on a GT FSI?

I daren't hardly say it but the diesels are much better value, cheaper insurance, go better and are more efficient :shocked:

 Unless you are getting it at a silly cheap price?

Erm, I dont know the story behind this particular gt fsi, however i did my research as usual and many traders and private sellers are offering the same year but more mileage for slightly more in price, in my eyes it does seem the cheapest one of its kind that i have seen myself.

Me being slightly too impatient i decided to go check this car out in car giant about 8.30 in the evening a few days ago, so as you can imagine it was pretty dark and the lights helped a little bit, so i got my light out on the phone and did a once over, the brakes were rusty as usual, hardly any scratches.... so i thought "very nice indeed, but why is this one cheaper" so i had a browse over the exterior again and i noticed there is a dent in the bottom corner of the drivers side door, this to me looks definitely like the door was opened all the way too close to a curb or wall, silly mistake perhaps?

I have considered diesels a huuuuge amount, but they again are slightly more in price compared, yes they are cheaper for me on insurance etc but when it comes down to it, i will burn the same amount of fuel running back and forward to work through traffic as i do in my petrol mk4. im not a diesel expert but both my girlfriend and cousin have said to me diesels are beneficial once you are out of traffic zones and on the open roads.

Sorry i nearly went into a life story there  :lipsrsealed:

I would love a mk5 GTI or even a R32, that would be a dream come true but as much as i could try and bargain my way to a cheaper deal i dont think i could afford it til i get a new job. On the other hand if anyone wants help robbing a bank count me in  :wink:

Im not rushing into anything yet, i dont want to make an speedy decisions considering the market, hopefully after xmas they reduce the price and i can go mention the dent in the door to them as well as take my mechanic friend with me to help.
