Does this seem legit?
« on: February 11, 2015, 01:56:26 pm »
Hi, I'm a first time mk5 buyer and I'm going to view a 2007 mk5 gti (candy white) this Friday. The only thing I'm concerned about is I've just been emailed scans of some of the paperwork and it's showing the engine code as AXX, if the car is an 07 shouldn't it be BWA?
I really hope it's not suspect, everything else looks great with the car, and it feels like I've been looking for the right one for ages now.

Thanks,

Scott.

Just an imported model (was imported BEFORE registration so it's technically a UK registered car, no issues insuring etc).

my GTI was exactly the same and it bothered not about as much as @rich83 's chin is small.

Says the man with a lisp which makes him sound like a 4 year old?

Or do you want to stop and play nicely now?

Thanks for the replies, if it turns out to be as top notch as the pics look when I go to view it on friday I don't really mind the fact that it's an import either tbh.

Cheers,

Scott.
