Alternative car sales websites

[Geo123]

Hello All,

I am new to the forum so first of all I would like to say hello!

I am very keen on purchasing a Golf MK5 GTI, which will be a slight upgrade to my current Renault Clio.

I have trailed Gumtree, AutoTrader, Ebay and Piston Heads for possible cars and have not found many within my price range that I have liked.

I have also looked on the 'Cars for sale' section here, without much luck.

I have a maximum budget of £7500 or thereabouts for a nicely kept, smart golf mk5 gti with low mileage (60 - 70k)

Do you know of any other sites where I could look?

Cheers
George

I personally would just keep an eye out on all of the above sites. You don't want to rush into buying a car... and the right one will pop up, I garentee. It's the same with parts... Just waiting, being patient and looking all the time really does pay off

Hello and welcome

What is your location?

This site is excellent for well loved GTI's for sale.

Here's one over your mileage, but under budget

Many thanks,

I am in the Hertfordshire area and would be willing to travel if the right car came a long.

I have seen the car in your link and it is an excellent example of what I am looking for, something about tornado red GTI's that set them apart and that one is in very good condition. I am keen on purchasing a car with lower mileage though.

Are there any other sites similar to this one with a classified section you know of?

Pistonheads can be an expensive place to shop   As said take your time and take a friend

Welcome along! 

You can't go to far wrong from looking (and waiting) for the right one to pop up on this forum. I wouldn't hesitate buying from a fellow member with a decent history on the forum as you can see their previous posts and (if they have had one) thier own thread in Members Rides.

IMHO Ignore peeps trying to sell a car with around 25 posts to their name as they are only on here to sell a car. Buying from a forum enthusiast will generally get you car that's been well looked after and maintained above and beyond the required amount.

Happy hunting.

Thanks for the reply guys!

I think biding my time is the way to go with this then.. I'll be checking this website frequently as the ones I see advertised here are a lot better than ones I have found elsewhere.

Red - Do you have any more photo's mate, interior etc. Where you located?

Cheers
