Seen car, advice needed
« on: June 11, 2011, 10:49:19 am »
Hi,

Quick buying advice needed. Saw this GTI today at local traders, http://bit.ly/mkLqF4

The Air Con controls seem different
There was a stone chip on bonnet. (said he'd sort that out)
There was a slight dent in right side passenger door (don't have image. said he'd sort that out)


See images attached.

The last image is of the rear bumper. Is it normal to have that textured plastic coloured or has someone smoothed the bumper and left that?

Thanks,
C

If thats the bottom of the rear bumper, it looks like its been colour coded and not prep'd correctly - this is supported by it having colour coded side skirts and front bumper valance

Its possibly an import as it has the manual aircon as opposed to the fully automatic

I don't know where you are but there was a very nice ed30 and a few normal gti's at Leeds VW not so long ago for not far off that price...they always seem to have some nice cars in these days.

Nowt wrong with an import, as long as it's a UK spec car.
