Hi guys, I went to see a MK5 GTI today, I didn't have an intention to buy I just wanted to see what you can get for your money. I saw a 5 door Red GTI 06 plate with 53k, it was from Fords of Winsford in the north west, in my opinion the car was in truly awful condition, with scuffs and dents on most panels and a very bad rub mark on the back bumper, stone chips pretty much covering the front end. Inside the engine bay looked like a car over 10 years old. Wheels were also quite badly scuffed.
This wasn't the worst and when I opened the door the interior was simply disgusting with lots of permanent marks on the dash and door cars, dog hair all over the seats and had one hell of a smell! Looked like it had never been hoovered, according to the sales guy it'll pretty much go on the forecourt like this, the car was up for £11,995.00! Is this the type of condition I will have to expect if I go for a slightly older GTI for 10-12k?
Thanks for the advice
