I used to own a MK5 GTI a few years ago. I sold it stupidly because I had ordered a new car. Now I'm wanting to get back into one, and I can't find one remotely like the one I sold.
Ideally I'd like xenons and DSG(though this I'm flexible on)and its got to have 5 doors. I don't mind any colour so long as its not silver or red (I just don't like the black bumper/skirts on them). I'd prefer a standard non molested example too.
I also want something which has a FULL service history, less then 90/95k miles and is a straight car (no cat c's or d's).
I've got a budget of about 6k, and can go upto 6.5k for the right car. Initially I was looking at spending closer to 8k, but thats ED30 money or not far off it so I decided it wouldn't be wise to sink the money into a standard GTI.
Anybody know where cars like this are hiding?
Thanks!

keep lookin in the for sale section on here
Oh I've been looking a little while now. Theres this one (which is sold and also an Edition 30) http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,102218.0.html Which I'd have bought if it was available! It looks perfect! But either that was too cheap or standard GTI's are just asking for too much money :(

I was tempted but couldn't quite justify it at this time so will stick to my old faithful!
Anyway, at the time (about a month ago) I contacted the chap after auction ended and he hadn't sold it, so if that's still the case and you like the look of it, maybe give the guy a shout? It's quite a way away but looked a good one I thought. Worth travelling for a good one.

Post by: raz469 on February 03, 2016, 11:53:10 am
i still cant believe it. The car seems straight with heated leathers, 5dr gti dsg, and a sunroof! It had a vw history up to the last owner who put about 20k on it. Apparently the first owner was a showroom. I just wish it had xenons and folding mirror as the yellow lights just date the car by 10 years.I guess you should just keep looking, and to have my honest advice think of the kind of owner you would like to buy it from and work out where they would advertise it. Hope you find what your after happy hunting

Mine was 2014 and there were no others at the time with low miles all high mileage. There was one in Aberdeen for 5k 76k black with black leather DSG 5door and those limited ED wheels in dark grey. Unfortunately I didn't want to travel that far and be disappointed so bought mine 60 miles away.

I had exactly the same problem when i started searching for my gti in mid 2014 looking for an unmolested one with low mileage which took over 6 months to find until this one came up in auto trader for almost £7000 went to have a look at it and it was what I was looking for with low miles black full leather 18 monza which were a bonus but then in march 2015 the prices fell and they were dirt cheap with higher miles but cheaper than my purchase price by a few grand which was shocking but then again I have a gti with low miles stamped and vosa checked so wasn't too fussed although the pri** could have polishes and valeted it for the price I paid which was promised but never happened.
Come and have a look if you're interested :signLOL:
Good luck
I do quiet like the look of yours, but the lack of factory xenons really puts me off. Though I think you should take some nicer pictures for your ad, it just looks a little unloved with it looking pretty dirty.... or is that you hoping to keep it :P
Post by: r5gtt on February 03, 2016, 01:21:57 pm
Just not had the time to wash it atm but doesn't mean I don't look after cars as my last car I owned for five years and spent ££££'s on mods but due to my job loss I really can't afford to keep it. pictures probably do need a change lolI had exactly the same problem when i started searching for my gti in mid 2014 looking for an unmolested one with low mileage which took over 6 months to find until this one came up in auto trader for almost £7000 went to have a look at it and it was what I was looking for with low miles black full leather 18 monza which were a bonus but then in march 2015 the prices fell and they were dirt cheap with higher miles but cheaper than my purchase price by a few grand which was shocking but then again I have a gti with low miles stamped and vosa checked so wasn't too fussed although the pri** could have polishes and valeted it for the price I paid which was promised but never happened.

Lack of factory xenons :signLOL: that's just a lame excuse :booty: :rolleye: but seriously you need to come and have a look at what you're missing out on :stupid: :driver:
BTW the xenons were fitted after so the car didn't come like this and now has cruise control too so I'd be losing well over £1500 over the four months I have been driving it and what I've spent on it so resale value is imho reasonable :smiley:

Hey look as you can tell from the first post I don't really want a silver or a red one. I also said I was flexible on xenons and DSG. Yours are aftermarket xenons so its not something I'm interested in. I was querying on the red GTI just in case as its a low enough mileage and if it was all I can find, then so be it.
Anyway he hasn't got back to me and I've since decided that's too much money for a 06 GTI.
Good luck selling yours! :)

ill be putting mine up for sale soon. 98k, just done cam belt, water pump, full service, new DV, New tyres, DSG, Factory tints, new fuel pump, new radiator (before I got it), pre cat removed. The car runs like brand new! I bought it with 75k on the clock only a few months ago so the rest has been motorway miles. Was setting it up for a stage 1 map but the fuel is getting a bit much (I'm filling it every..single...day). £4.2k which leaves you plenty to mod it :)

Only when it's done wrong by the wrong people. I know where you're coming from though. My specialist has shared some of their horror stories with me (while respecting their customers).
It's one reason why I've never lifted a spanner to mine. JKM have done everything with the right parts. It's not for my lack of ability but for provenance.
For my modifications (none of which are cosmetic) my file has invoices for parts and labour of a few pounds short of £10k.
If and when it's sold I hope I can make a buyer comfortable with the car in this regard.
I believe you're right to be extremely cautious and sceptical though. :happy2:

Spent three months looking for the "right" one and after some duds I finally located one on Pistonheads.I feel that I paid way over the price for mine £6850 but it was the low miles 67k that swayed me toward it and there weren't any selling at that time either. I didn't know who or what where when and how at the time and just looked up dsg golf gti pit falls. if I knew they had major engine issues like gunking up the inlet then I wouldn't have touched them IMHO. oh and I prefer the quattro to fwd :signLOL:

I'm not sure that they've got major engine issues per-se but they certainly have their foibles.
As for the intake there's several things you can do...
Use the best fuel, if you do very low mileage/short journeys do an extra oil change every year (Ester based), drive the car properly (by that I mean get the exhaust gas temp up frequently) and treat the intake valve cleaning as a service measure every 3 or 4 years. If it's a £400 bill every 3 years it's £11 into your maintenance budget every month. Hardly going to hurt.
There are so many cars in the VAG range until recently that have this problem and also from other manufacturers.
KTM used this engine (Audi sourced, so a very close derivative) in the X-Bow so it can't be all bad. :happy2:

Ill pm you my number. Im in Cambridgshire so if you are near by you can come and take it for a drive for an hour or so to see if you like it (fuel is on me!).
Car has,
DSG
Full service a few weeks ago including cam belt
Pipercross filter
Reverse sensors
Removed pre-cat
Cruse control
Highline clocks
Curtesy lights (under the wing mirrors etc)
New tires all round(rear ones are budget though, fun in the wet..)
New Diverter Valve (rev G....tried rev D and it was leaking)
New NGK Iridium BKR7EIX spark plugs
Newish Radiator - before I bought it
Cam flower done last service
New Head unit (bluetooth, bluetooth streaming, video, Sat Nav, Shopping app (seriously), Games (really, seriously)
Good points
Starts on the dot every single morning
No smoke
DSG doesn't make any sounds and works perfectly
Turbo is very quiet (although I'm quite deaf)
No engine noises
Bad points
Due DSG service (next on my list)
Dent on bonnet
Scrape on drivers window
Headlights have that common rough look to them
I smoke too much (always window open though)
Drivers heated seat doesn't work - isn't plugged in or something (I hate heated seats so I've not properly looked)
Wheels are curbed - but don't look too bad to me. But I don't worry about that sort of thing so you might find it bad.
It has very VERY slight bubbling showing on the front arches. But I have been told by VW that it is covered under the warrantee and I just need to book it in to get done. But I just haven't had time as of yet. I could get it done or you could.
If you send me a text or call I can take some photos and send them over.

Same here @david25 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3234) so many "traders" had dodgy looking ones and the warranties they provide are useless (most had 200 max payouts).

I paid £6800 for my totally stock gti in silver, 59K, service history plus I got the dealer to do a 60K service, cam belt & new fan & new air con compression& re gas. I thought it was expensive when I bought it, but my mate who owns a garage took it for an inspection, got it on the ramp & said it all looks good as new. So far it's been ok. :driver:I guess that's a good price as I paid similar for mine and it does sound mint :happy2:

I picked up my 2007 GTi on 26k for £7,900 in November 2014. I thought this was a pretty good price. Its DSG with the leather chairs and some good options and came with full service history from VW. Inside was mint but all the wheels needed doing and the bodywork had a fair few dings as it had spent its life in Notting Hill.Very low miles on her hey? shame about the dings but for that sort of mileage it can't be all bad. Remeber to give her a blast down the motorway once a week or your cylinder head will get cocked up with gum and cauar random misfiring on idle.
2014 January I was looking for one no more than a 7k budget and that's why I have mine 5door black leather 18 inch monza service history new tyres although budget Avon and some other brand not coming to my head lol no cruise control or xenons so I've added those in to compliment the rest although xenons are aftermarket but who cares as they do look good. :grin:
wanted sat nav system but couldn't find any with this spec although one was in Glasgow under 5k but didnt have leather seats and that was way too far to travel anyway.

It doesn't get driven for weeks on end but is always in a garage or covered up. Haven't had any issues yet fingers crossed but it certainly needs a good run. I got the sat nav, cruise control and six cd thingy but didn't get xenons.

Gosh you're neglecting her already :signLOL: Luckt for her always dressed up with no where to go :wink:I picked up my 2007 GTi on 26k for £7,900 in November 2014. I thought this was a pretty good price. Its DSG with the leather chairs and some good options and came with full service history from VW. Inside was mint but all the wheels needed doing and the bodywork had a fair few dings as it had spent its life in Notting Hill.Very low miles on her hey? shame about the dings but for that sort of mileage it can't be all bad. Remeber to give her a blast down the motorway once a week or your cylinder head will get cocked up with gum and cauar random misfiring on idle.
2014 January I was looking for one no more than a 7k budget and that's why I have mine 5door black leather 18 inch monza service history new tyres although budget Avon and some other brand not coming to my head lol no cruise control or xenons so I've added those in to compliment the rest although xenons are aftermarket but who cares as they do look good. :grin:

Glad you've sorted out the body work as the first thing I notice are any little marks and if a bird poos on her then I have to use wipes to get it off as their poo is acidic and damages the paint work. dirty feckers. 32k my gosh she's barely had any fun in her life :laugh:
