First time GTi buyer

Hello all, this is my first post, so I hope I'm in the correct part of the forum... Apologies if not, I'll learn.

I'd like to ask you experts a not so simple question please. I'm looking to buy a stage 1 mapped Mk 5 GTI in the coming months, year probably around 2008 ish, hopefully relatively low mileage.

My question is in two parts. (1) should I buy a car already mapped, or have this done after purchase? Q2 is, what kind of budget would be expected for a good low mileage car?

Thanks in advance.
