Cheers guys!
I wouldn't be able to afford the higher specs, so just the basic GTI would do. I am not really clued up on them, as you can probably tell, just looking to get a bit of info.
As high as I would go would probably be £8k, if I could get one lower then fantastic, I will have a look around and see what they are going for.
It seems to be exactly what I am looking for, good looking, fast and the mpg sounds good! Obviously would go waaay down when Im having fun :driver
You will easily find a golf with a decent spec and mileage for £8k. If not cheaper. There are some really bargain prices on some gti's atm. I bought mine for 7.5k which was a steal for what it is. If you buy off here, generally they will have been looked after well and more often than not you'll be able to 'track' it's progress. Just double check everything.
The cars are reliable yet practical. They look lovely and my mates are jealous big time. My golf suits me down to the ground. I drive to work in it and can get 45 mpg, go see my mates, go on holiday and even had jolly round a track occassionally! Not many can say that. All in one. Their performance as you will no doubt find out is good. There are a few things to look for like rust as mentioned about and dare I say the DV valve! Ideally a rev. G one needs to be fitted so you don't get a lose in power.
Thats good that I can find one for that price, would prefer one with lower mileage so around £7-8k would be my best bet ?
When I buy though, I want it to be as near to stock as possible, so that I can 'make it my own'.
Its great that they are so much of an all rounder aswell!
I just cant wait to feel the power, going from a 1.4 to that will be something else.
And if its true that it is really fun to drive, then even better.
I never really thought about a golf until recently when I seen a nice red one, since then its all I want haha.
And yeah tortaruga, looks so damn sexy in red!
