Re missing that DV fault, I can see where you are coming from on this and also how my view on this can be seen as presumptious - Indeed it is presumptious. I take the view that it would be entirely reasonable to presume a very low level of care for this car based on everything, not just the DV, you have posted about it. I'm only saying how I would be completely put off buying this car and not how others might or might not be.

Rightly or wrongly I find it difficult to understand a driver not realising they were down on power and furthermore doing nothing to investigate it. It doesn't matter whether it's a DV or not, nor whether the owner knows what a DV is or not - It's simply a reflection of a careless attitude towards the maintenance of their car. And that's why I wouldn't want to buy it. However, someone will buy it and be happy about it.

Respect to you for the rescue and I hope that there isn't anything else about the car which may need more serious attention as a result of not being looked after.

I'm just expressing an opinion  :smiley:.

You are indeed just expressing an opinion as am I :)  However you did specifically mention "faults like the DV scream he is very guilty of neglect," which I don't agree with. 

As already mentioned his wife drove the car and never tested out it's performance, and as such I can easily see why she would not notice a difference in performance.  Again in my circumstance I had never driven another GTI, thus had nothing to compare to that would indicate the car may have had issues.  These two situations used as an example to me do not indicate "a reflection of careless attitude towards the maintenance of their car."

Guess my point was I don't think it's appropriate to tar every situation with the same brush, and as such I certainly don't feel myself or the owner of the car in question showed simple reflections of careless attitudes towards maintaining their vehicles.  Every car should be taken on it's own merit and I personally don't think the owner of this vehicle will have any issue selling it.


Again just an opinion :)

Good luck with the sale!
