How's this GTI?

[Chris]

take it the grey one i posted was a no no

[Mike90]

It's 350 miles away, way too far for me.

[Chris]

Why where are you

[Mike90]

Gloucester, I'm not travelling hundreds of miles all around the country to look at cars. Been there before and had my time wasted.

[Chris]

I know what you mean but sometimes to find the right one you have to travel

I posted that one earlier, looks good going to give them a call tomorrow.

I've got myself looking at Edition 30's now though! 

[Chris]

you wont find many of them for 10k

[Mike90]

10k isn't the top of my budget, it's just the most I'd spend on a normal GTI.

Sellers are over valuing them anyway, that's why the same ads have been up for months.

What do we reckon then boys? It lacks the DSG I wanted but you cant have everything, I've quickly realized that and I'm bored of waiting.

I haven't driven a normal GTI but I just know i'll be disappointed coming from a 270bhp LCR. I think it's worth stretching for the ED30, the tuning potential is so much better.

[.:GTI|SUNNY:.]

does it have to have 18's?

If not i found this which isnt far from you, Black 3dr, Heated Leather, Armrest in good condition also

[Mike90]

Ideally yes, if I bought one without it would be one of the first things I'd change.

Thing is, I looked around and genuine second hand 18's are unbelievably rare?

That looks great to me. I would be interested if a bit nearer. Nice low miler and seems to have the history to back it all up. Think they look so much better with tints.

I really like it - and don't even want DSG!

[Mike90]

I emailed them about movement on the price and they went down to 13,500 straight away so you could probably get it for 13 if you really tried.

I've seen this one: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201032365329650/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-from/8000/quantity-of-doors/3/colour/black/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/maximum-mileage/up_to_80000_miles/price-to/13000/fuel-type/petrol/model/golf/make/volkswagen/postcode/gl24qd/page/3/radius/100?logcode=p

Looks good with a nice spec, DSG too, only thing that put me off was the 4 owners but 1 is VW, 2 private and the last being the dealer now. FSH is all from VW too.

I've got my heart set on DSG for some reason, without ever driving a car with it, I've always had manual boxes.
