Close to a GTI return??
« on: July 30, 2009, 05:23:28 pm »
Hi all - have been using this place as a great source of information lately so thought I should post!

Used to own a 55 plate GTI 5 Door DSG in Blue Graphite but got rid of it after 15 months or so (big mistake) and have since had a BMW 320d, Focus ST (mapped to approx 275bhp) and currently Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI Sline.

Anyway - I've had enough of this diesel malarky and so have decided to return to the Mk 5 GTI fold (or better still hope to get an Edition 30).

Currently have a couple of local dealers searching for a car for me (hoping to get one around the £18k mark) and coming back with a trade in price for my A4 (shocking I guess it'll be!).

Anyway - hope to be able to post some pics of a new motor in the coming weeks!  :happy2:

I'll gladly post some pics when I get a car to show off  :grin:

I'm impatient so the next few weeks will kill me (and chances are I'll get next to no work done!)   :wink:

Well its been a good day so far - those pics might not be too far away now!

Think I've found a car! - have placed a 'holding deposit' on it (as the dealer is over 200 miles away!).  Happy with the p/ex price offers on my car too.

Car I've found is a 08 plate Edition 30 5 door (keeps the wife and kids happy!) in Tornado Red - not much in the way of extra spec - then again that doesn't bother me too much as I plan to add a RNS510 shortly afterwards anyway.  At least the mileage is low - about less than 8000.

Just got to organise a day when I can travel to view it - just hope it turns out to be a good 'un.  If not I'll get my deposit back and the search will continue!  :smiley:

Good luck, and you have chosen very well.   :happy2:

Do you have any sort of link to it, so we can help in any way?

I did have a link, but as I've put a deposit down, the dealer has taken it off the web completely!

Should have some photos around here somewhere I can post though.

Its pretty much standard Ed30 from what I can tell though - an RNS510 will be added shortly after purchase though!!  :happy2:
