Newbie looking for a 5 door DSG GTI - anyone selling?

[pudding]

'Gremax' ditch finders, plus the usual absence of a driver's side seat bolster picture, which means it's f'cked or ripped 9 times in 10. 

You just instinctively know it will be a bit ropey when you get close to it, but for £5K you can't have high expectations.  It's certainly not the worst I've seen.  A good little project for someone.

I think 'fantastic' condition for £7K is stretching it.   If you want perfection, you will need to up your budget accordingly.

Still looking and can up budget for the right car.

Did look at mk6's but think a mk5 makes more sense

Found one in Candy White.

just to confirm - thats actually an import from the UAE. u.k spec car - its actually an AXX engine and not on a BWA as the 07 plates are. not an issue - but just to remember comes with the annoying banjo bolt!!

@simundo777 did you find a golf in the end? Mine has been sold but someone I know is selling their GTi too - it's black 5 door DSG and a lower mileage example

[andyiseddy02]

Not too fussed on spec. Actually prefer cloth, 17's.

Ideally candy white, 5 door, DSG.

Mileage: will buy on condition.

Anything up to £7k for the right car. Just want a decent well looked after car.

Never put how much you are willing to pay.

Found a car now. Gone for an ED30.
