Thanks  very muchBecca88.

I got the information you sent me.  :happy2:



From this, i am a little more happy with the car.  I am getting the feeling from reading a few posts that it is over priced? He said he was open to a reasonable offer. Is £14k a good price for it? It does have a few weeks warranty remaining on the car, so I can at least renew the warranty and have some peace of mind..

Are there any high spec Ed 30's with low mileage around at the 14k mark? I do really need a 5 door one.

You guys are just so helpful, I'm glad I joined this forum.  :congrats:

Thanks,

J.

You guys have very keen eyes. They look very similar to the other Golfs on PH to me. Is it because they are dark? Should there be any other difference.. eg The standard lights on an 08 model are LED?

Hi Again,

I went to see this car yesterday and not Friday. Thanks to you all for your advice. I decided against buying it, and would warn anyone else contemplating looking at this car.

I was so dismayed by what I saw when I went to view, and from a One owner car.  What a waste of a day. Some people must think potential purchasers were born yesterday.

Thanks again, to all of you that gave me advice on what to look keep any eye out for  :happy2: :happy2:

Lol.

Key fob worn, drivers side bolster worn. badly resprayed over a number of panels, scratches all over it.  looked like it had been through a rally. He said it was like that when he bought it new,  and that he has never had it painted.  :innocent:
