I was looking for almost two years for my GTI , It took me that long because i was fussy about the options that i wanted, And i eventually got the car i wanted.
3 door, Reflex Silver, Leather, Xenons, Sat nav, DSG (with paddles) 18" Monzas, Folding mirrors, Parking sensors, i wanted an early Golf so it had the Blue tinted windows and 10 speaker Audio.
The car had to be unmodiefied and totally original, And in the end i got it.
I had to pay a little over what it was worth But it was in superb condition with only 20000 miles on the clock.
So i say keep looking and get the car you will be happy with, It's out there somewhere.
