Hi all,
Just thought I’d introduce myself as I’ve just purchased a MK5 Golf GTI. I bought a 2008 Clio 197 in June but to be honest, it’s been nowhere near the car I thought it would be, a real let down overall. I decided to take the hit and get rid before it depreciates any more!
It’s a 2005 plate in steel grey, standard spec all round and needs a bit of tidying hear and there but managed to get a bit off it so quite pleased.
It’s done 87,000 miles but has had a new clutch and flywheel last year and cambelt and water pump beginning of this year so that’s the big things out of the way. Drives really well too. Garage I’m buying it from are fitting 4 new tyres, service, cleaning up the headlights (fogged up) and provide a 6 month warranty and 12 months mot too.
Collecting it on Saturday and it’s booked in for a wheel refurb on Monday/Tuesday (gloss black powdercoat) and remap the following Saturday. Also getting a paintless dent removal firm to go round and remove a couple of pin dents next week.
Planning to get a milltek cat back by the end of the year and work on tidying up the car generally. Probably going to continue with the black theme but we’ll see.
Some pictures below! Will post some more once I’ve collected and cleaned it. Looking forward to Saturday.
This will be my 27th car, I've had a couple of Golfs before too:
Cheers for now!!
Tom
