Sorry about that, wrong choice of words, I meant "inferior"  :booty: :grin: (runs to hide)

update!!!

have deicided to not go view said vehicle this evening.

have done hpi check and its comes up cat d but the owner says it was stolen recovered!  nothign about it being reported stolen on report.

also reports says its had 10 oweners....he is telling potential customers that he is 4th owner!!

its in birmingham guys - candy white 3 door edition 30.

im staying clear but though id give you guys heads up in case someone else in looking at it.

cheers

Sounds like a right basket case of a car and 10 owners!!  :scared: :scared:

Your better off out of it fella.

Just had a quick interweb search, is this the one?

Eddy, white, 3dr and only £7495!   :laugh: tis on Autotrader. All seems to be there but if it were me, I steer well clear.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201243489612495/sort/default/usedcars/fuel-type/petrol/colour/white/price-from/7000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/body-type/hatchback/model/golf/make/volkswagen/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/postcode/rh124pd/radius/1501/page/1?logcode=p

thats it...only 20 so miles from me so i thought id be worth a look at that price but staying well clear.

anyone know of a nice mk5 golf for sale?  c£7k - 8k?

thanks

good call mate!

For peace of mind I would stay clear of any cat D and C. It's buyers market and plenty of bargains to be had!

Best of luck with the search

Thanks for the advice guys.

The search continues......thought it was too good to be true!

Will try and hold out or edition 30 or if the right spec gti becomes available then may opt for that.

Ah this car has been doing my nut, it was on autotrader for ages at £7495, tried calling sent emails as looked really nice never had reply, then it was off the net, now back on autotrader different pictures, still don't answer then all of a sudden it's on eBay for £8500 in a garage in Birmingham I emailed them asking is this some sort of con, apparently there a very cosher garage etc etc, and they bought it of the previous owner cause he was emigrating WAY to good to be true it's got to be a ringer

Is it just me or does this seem pretty cheap! Not an edition 30, but candy white  :happy2:

Never mind how good they look (and they may well be nothing at wrong with ones that are stolen rec'd etc) you'll be left with a total nightmare when you come to sell it on, I know of a couple of lads that have bought a stolen recovered Focus ST with minor damage, locks, wheels, suspension and stuff with the view to selling it on. All the work has been done to the best standard and documented but even at £3k less than the average list price they cannot shift it and are now thinking of stripping it down selling the bits and using it as a track/stage car instead. Shame because it's as good an ST as you'll find out there from what I hear.
