New member saying Hi - looking to buy a GTI very soon

[Mr Pid]

Hey Guys,

My name is Stu from sunny Portsmouth, been toying with various cars now and currently own a beautiful T5 Transporter. I don't need something quite as big so going to sell it soon, once my SP1 is back from garage, and get myself a decent Mk5 GTi instead.

I haven't decided on petrol over diesel yet, but going to give the DSG a shot I think, just for a change.

I was looking at M3's and RS4's but want to buy a house next year so the Mk5 Gti is a "sensible" buy as far as im concerned :-)

Sensible it is.....but not on this forum (especially since you're saving up to buy a house).

Welcome! I'm just up the A3 in Petersfield, good luck in your search for a Gti, worth reading as much as you can on here to get a really good idea on what to look for whilst your searching for the right one.

Welcome. you're going to love the gti and after reading the build threads your going to want to mod for sure 

[shoaybmakda]

Welcome - on this forum you will end up spending more money on the car than the house!

I have a candy white GTI for sale if it ticks any of your boxes

Welcome to the fold. 

Buy it, map it, mod it!! (My work here is done).

Thanks for the replies guys - I tried to look at a few gti's and there were sold within seconds of going up for sale, I was getting very frustrated and ended up buying a beautiful black R32 DSG this weekend. Not a Gti I know, sorry chaps - but love the Mk5 golf regardless and the sound of the V6 is pure sex! ;-)

Needs a few tweaks here and there and some refurbishing on some interior bits but a nice car regardless.

So - I guess I have to sell the T5 now after all! :-(

Good choice and my favorite colour
