Do decent mk5 gti's exist for less than 4 grand which don't have massive mileage or need things repairing the moment you buy them?

Doubt it....
definitely not. Mine is now a Cat D but still mint and ££££'s spent just so it keeps this way and will spend a coupe of more ££££ to make it a rocket soon  :grin: 7k for car last year gti 200bhp + 3k in mods and styling and a further 2k in mods to come what's that in under 21 months  :doh: :slap: a waste of money  :signLOL:

3k in mods and your still not mapped :grin: :grin:

you scene queen
Erm if you consider where I'm going with my K03 and what I started from then you for one know what my plans are you as I wanted stage 1 but then thought why 1 when I can have 2+ but now lookokg further a field why stop there when I can go K04 with serious power so I'm very patient and want to do it right first time not three times  :signLOL:

For thew age of the car and the cost of it, you bound to run into problems. things wear over time and would need replacing. Juts one of those things when buying older cars
WRONG!!! I sold my tt with every bush caliper suspension part replaced with new parts polyurethane bushing top mounts lots of new sensors excellent condition for peanuts so you can get a bargain but finding it is the only issue. The guy who bought my tt came from Newcastle didn't even test drive the car and took it away with all the receipts sowing all that had been replaced. I'm a proper enthusiast who likes my car spot on  :driver:

I sold a ex company car recently 2007 1 owner from new 140k 5 door red full vwsh, manual and was basically mint some stonechips on bonnet expected as it had been flying up and down motorway all of its life for £2600 and that still had me some profit so you can get em I bought my last personal one for 3k that needed nothing either, I find autotrader and eBay to be over priced get on owners clubs or on the eBay auctions not the classifieds.

Patient is a virtue as my car will get its K04 once all the parts are sourced and when you sell me that f@@@@@@ DV relocate part you were going to force on me  :slap:  :P

i can say that because my tt was minter with new parts all over the place and that was out of choice as I like my cars in pristine condition which is what I'm doing with the golf too. Don't like crank pots yes the tt had 150k when I sold it and wear and tear on the engine component internals but no way was it ticking noisy like the golf Gti's  :signLOL: All the pipes were replaced boost pipes water hoses breather hoses sensors mounts bits that needed replacing got replaced new thermostat housing and stat N75 etc so no expense spared.
