Not a sign of a car that's been looked after when there too lazy/tight to buy wipers.
Low mileage doesn't necessarily mean well looked after. Still a nice motor though

Are those alloys difficult to get hold of? Quite fancy them for my MK5 :)

They've got to be dreaming with that price tag. I bought mine newly 5 years ago when it was exactly 3 years old and mint condition for a lot less than that.

How can it be worth more as a 9 year old car than when it was 3 years old.
The problem is as they get older some people think "oh low mileage it's worth loads"

Well it's not actually low mileage it's under mileage for the age. I could buy a 1 year old car with 10k, doesn't mean 10 is necessary low mileage. It's all relative.

As someone pointed out doesn't mean anything in terms of how it's been looked after. Realistically it's a 10k car at the most. Personally I'd rather buy golfgirls candy white edition 30 over this even if they were the same price. This isn't worth much more if any than her car let alone 6.5k!

Badly fitted exhaust, after market wheels /upgraded stereo and no mention of zenons.....
So fiddled with!
IMHO I would rather have a higher mileage better looked after one

They are the standard ED30 wheels ain't they? Also I thought that is the right sat nav that the ED's would have come with for their time? Just curious and not wanting to start an argument, thought I knew these cars quite well  :ashamed:
Xenons were an option on the ED's I think

Yes, standard Ed30 Pescara alloys and standard MFD2 sat nav... and xenons were an option.

The windscreen and rear window are dodgy though! :happy2:

That's a lot of money for a mk5. Look at where the plaque has been fitted. FFS!
It has low miles for sure, but I think it could be a moneypit for someone...

Exhaust looks fitted okay to me!

Those are the standard wheels for this car.
MFD2 Version C with the shark-fin aerial is an option.
Xenons are an option as well.

Still, incredible money for a 9 year old car with ballixed windows... Someone will pay eventually who has more money than sense.

That's crazy money, my friend just bought an 08 CW Ed 30 from a Volvo dealer for £8.2k, low mileage and every option under the sun fitted!

Shame I didn't seen that, that's what they should be going for. I'm not buying in to this overpriced stuff. The one above will sit in the forecourt forever at that price.
That Golf R money.

if that is dsg then that is mega cheap. everyone wants white and people know that so they just stick 1.5k on asking price and sit on it until that someone who really wants white that bad come for it
