Looks nice Alex, also looks like it's bumpers aren't perfectly aligned and possible damage.

If you do go and have a look at it then use a fine tooth comb attitude.  :happy2:

Good luck

Front and rear??

Where's the damage??

I can't see much on the pictures of that focus. Looking on my phone so can't zoom but I'm sure the focus st's did have an issue with the rear bumper alignment where it meets the arch? I do remember reading something about it

Second picture bumper looks a dodgy silver.

Drivers light looks like is has a bigger gap than passengers light filth picture.

Rear bumper does look out of line.

Make sure you check for damage behind the lights and dodgy workmanship ie paint and damage. check spare wheel area for damage too.

check every little thing lol

I've seen many at this mileage with damage.

Seen it again today and the front bumper and lights have different shut gaps

Going to ask them to realign it if I go for it

As for he's offered. Me 4.5k for golf another garage offered me 2.5k

Well if it's fully stamped up and all paper work is to hand then go for it as I know you're really wanting a change  :smiley:

What's the full spec of your golf? Mileage, history, faults etc?

Don't no if I'm reading it the wrong way but the dealer seems eager to part with that focus. Has he had it in stock a while? Have other potential buyers picked up on something you haven't? Seems very well priced too for year, mileage and only 1 owner

One I've seen

I purchased my VRS from this company, the warranty they offer is crap they use an external company and limited to 500 pound or around there. Could be less. Make sure they actually rectify the faults they tried it on with me. Ask them to keep all the old parts they change as I did, as evidence of work carried out and receipts for parts.
I got a good trade in price and knocked him down a fair bit as I walked away and he gave me another 200 off asking price.

Seems a good price as said... I'd get it inspected if you like it.

The warranties offered by traders are mostly not worth the paper they're written on (£200 limits etc), especially if "trading" from home.

Your golf seems like a decent spec. Does it have high line clocks and xenons?

I wouldn't just stick with that dealer as he's offering the best trade in price. You can normally get a better deal if you have cash instead of part ex.

What area are you in? If you were interested in trying to sell it privately and your not too far from Stockport/Manchester then I have a mate that does foreigners in his work (bodyshop) that would do your wings cheap if you'd be interested? Think it was £100 he did mine for and he does a top job.
