Hi all, new here and currently own a MK4 1999 with 100k miles on it gun metal grey, nice car but want something newer.
I am in the market for a MK5 but with a budget of £7,000 the ones I am looking at have highish mileage.
Specifically I have found a black magic mk5, 5dr, VW FSH, 1 owner, 2007 plate, 99k miles, immaculate exterior/interior condition, 12 months MOT/TAX, just serviced and had new spark plugs. It was advertised for £7,500 but I got it down to £5,800 p/x with my MK4.
Is that a good deal and should I be wary about the 99k miles? I have read elsewhere that these cars can do much more than that and at least with higher mileage it would have had major things (timing belt/pump) already done (which it has).
Thanks for reading, I may buy tomorrow.
