Nath, is it not an old car?, non current model and I cant think of another car on the planet with a 75% residual after 32 months.....
Only rare in the eyes of forumites, if you take the forum goggles off its a posh gti in the eyes of the world, anybody who puts big money into ANY Mark 5 is playing Russian roulette imvho, it's out of warranty next time its sold and the ed35/mk7 is a near reality
Don't get me wrong, very lovely, very rare car,nice mileage. But those reasons make it too good to molest/mod which sort of sucks at it's mojo, the KO4 is the ed30's reason d'etre..... you wouldn't "hurdy" a pirelli would you?
Buy this car in 7 years and it would be a great investment...
Apologies to be blunt, wouldn't comment in your for sale thread GLWS
