Wow, whats the story behind the low mileage? only ones I've seen with anywhere near that miles are jap imports.
-
It's a one owner car and the fellar lived mostly in America. Definitely a UK car. Always been in a garage...smells like new inside....underneath is as new.

Looks great, i mean these cars should be driven but i'd be tempted to keep it under wraps at that mileage. Can see it has sunroof, highline & mfsw so well specced too (missing xenons though?).
What are your plans for it? would love to see some more pictures!

i was looking for a grey gti , when i found this one i couldnt really say no it it , but well aware it a rarity with its mileage. honestly i think its too good for everyday use , i am a bit unsure whats the best thing to do, use or tuck away for nice days only.
how do i tell if its got zenons ?
its got sat nav and a hard wired Nokia phone in a cradle ( dont like that ! )

Xenons look like this

Looks like it had most other options ticked, is it leather or tartan cloth? (or wingbacks?!!)

Don't think it's xenon
Tartan heated seats
6 cd changer in armrest

To be honest... envy on you. I would love to drive this vehicle just to compare it with mine and see what mileage have done to it even that mine is in good condition.
I would not go too aggressive on the mods and vehicle use as due to the low mileage and condition will keep the price... but cars are made to be driven isn't it?
-
I'm going to leave all original, only alteration will be a Bluetooth gadget.
I'm intending to use all year around to be honest..I work from home so probably only use for going to squash a couple of times a week...mileage will creep up , but it's too nice not to use !

A lot of people say that! Clearly something about them that stays with people :happy2:
Welcome to the fold and 8K is certainly the lowest mileage one on here, possibly the world! Well done, good find :happy2:
I don't think I could bring myself to ruin a gem like that on crappy UK roads, so look after her :happy2:
