Not specifically a Gti but a Mk5 R32.
We have come across a R32 in the right colour, all the toys and is exactly what we are after. Including just falling into the cheaper tax bracket. The car is with a dealer and is keenly priced, some room for wriggling however.
It is a DSG. Test drove. Drove very well, nice and tight. DSG behaved as it should. However one issue....
Previous service history has been lost. The entire book and pack of receipts etc by the previous owner. So I rang VW who confirmed it has had 1 service at a Main Dealer. That is all they have logged.
The MOT history checks out, never failed one either. Couple advisories that were then not present. So it seems to have been maintained.
I reckon I could bargain in a DSG, Haldex and full service as this would 100% need doing. Mileage is 90K.
Thoughts? Is this one to walk away from? Or being that it drives well, worth a punt as the price is right. Am I missing anything....
