Deposit put on MK5 GTI! Now with pics!
« on: July 04, 2010, 10:51:52 am »
After much really useful advice from you guys on here i put a deposit on a MK5 GTI from a Volkswagen dealer. The spec is as follows...

07/07 plate, 1 owner, 45,000 miles, 3 door DSG GTI
Cruise control
Bi-Xenon headlights
iPod preparation in armrest
Rear parking sensors
Multifunction steering wheel
Recaro leather seats
RCD 500 6 disc in dash changer & soundpack
Storage pack

Got it for £13,250 with a years tax and mot, as well as the longlife and DSG service done....oh & 2 VW racing mugs!

Do you think that was a fair deal?

Jon

Hey Thor!

Yeah the spec is great, especially the Recaros in combination with the Xenons! I'm sure i'll be on the slippery slope of modding as soon as i pick it up! But a touch lower and some wheels to replace the stock 17" ones are definitely on the list!

welcome and we expect pics when you pic up the car!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
