Mk5 - Laser Blue

[rdfcpete]

lol true story.

Butttt, that lot you list is a good £1500 or so (depending on first hand/second hand etc or reps etc) and plus, hopefully you won't lose much on the MK5 mods that won't fit the Mk6 

Probs more than that! 
I meant to say easy to do mods as opposed to cheap! 
I hope so to! The things that should fit:
RNS
Wheels (after a refurb!  )
Steering wheel
Amp will fit although the stealthbox may not? I dont know if they have changed the boot shape.
Dont think I will have to many probs selling xenons, r32 rear lights and bumper, full gti leather interior as they are quite sort after!

We will have to see what happens. I havent even test drove one yet! (i hope they let me due to my age?  )
 

I have a thing for those wheels. You could put them on a Daihatsu Move and it'd look okay.
Keeping or selling them? I think they'd look small on the Mk6 thus you should sell them and the Xenons to me Ollie 

Plans look tidy though. You really do earn too much though bud

The insurance for a mk6 golf 1.4 tsi se 122 3 dr will be £1700 (can get cheaper probably just first quote)

I have a few questions about buying cars though. I have only had one and I walked in and payed for it so I am not to knowledgeable on this!

How much realistically should you be aiming for off the screen price?
Would it be better to part/ex mine or sell privately?
Should i look at finance or is that a no go? I will be able to get the cash but not right away so would finance be a sensible option to get the car right away? (I could part/ex mine for £xxxx but down a healthy deposit and only have a couple of thousand outstanding which could be paid in a couple of months. Would the dealer allow that?

Also what are peoples opinions on DSG? I will be test driving bit manual and dsg to formulate my own opinion but I though someone who uses dsg everyday would have a better insight than a 1hr test drive! It is a 7 speed box. Do all dsg have the flappy paddles to change gear manually?

Cheers

EDIT - where have all my pics gone!

Excellent news mate Your definitely getting a Mk6 then? Paddles come with the multi function steering wheel I believe.

[ollie288]

Not definite but im thinking it is the way I am going! I have seen an 09 1700 miles 3 dr candy white se model so it has all the extras, parking assist (parks itself!  ) and other things but it is a manual. I will defiantly have a look at it though! Cant wait! 


Coilovers have just arrived that I ordered a while back. Do you think they will fit a mk6 or shall I send them back?

suspension for mk v should fit mk 6 

[ollie288]

I may keep it then so I am ready to lower with the audi wheels! 
 

[ollie288]

Does anyone have a round about figure of the top speed and acceleration of the 1.4 tsi when remapped to 150 (from 122) with a better intake system and maybe exhaust (If there would be any difference in performance when fitted!)
Would anything else improve the performance?

Bit of bad news for me today! You cannot get a 3dr with DSG! 
Went for a test drive in the manual. The car felt solid and more sturdy than my mk5. The interior felt classy and road/wind noise was very good. Then the engine. I was not expecting much difference to my 1.6 fsi at stock level but I must say the engine felt torquey and had alot better response to mine. Also the gearbox and brakes felt better. (because it is a new car?)
Overall very impressed! 
We will have to wait and see what happens. (Although I have just seen that the rocco comes with the same engine  )

Hmm, were you told a good reason as to why not?
Will this apply throughout the MK6 range?

Yes this applied to the Mk5 also. The car probably felt better put together because it's new.

In GT or SE form you couldn't get a 3 door, I don't know why but you just couldn't.  Might be something technical?

[joesgti]

finish the mk5 and put a ed30 engine in it next year, much cheaper. Oh and weld the back doors shut, then you have a 3door
